Rega Apollo-R - Manual (Page 4)

DESIGN INNOVATION
The Apollo-R the latest version of Rega’s best selling CD player.
Rega were the last major specialist hi-fi manufacturer to make a CD player. We have
used this time to observe the development of the medium.
Rega believed that we should develop our own product that came from our own
philosophies concerning sound quality, reliability and value for money.
The Apollo-R CD player has a unique sound that harmonises with the rest of our
products and we feel offers greater musical performance than the usual HI FI
approach.
Our proven top loading design remains for several reasons. Firstly, complex motorised
tray mechanisms are vulnerable to wear and therefore a cause of unreliability.
Secondly, the use of our underslung transport location allows engineers immediate
access, if service is needed.
Housed in a brand new case the Apollo-R draws on the pedigree of the previous
incarnations of this model.
