. . and the Apollo will likely be no exception, but did you have to go and say
"About two months ago I was at Quintessence Audio in Illinois and heard a wonderful very high end system with vinyl source. Rich, very rich, but I can't stomache the snap, crackle, pop of vinyl. The very first thing I thought when I heard the Apollo was, "Vinyl is in trouble!" Same richness, live sound, but without the noise."??

Yah, maybe you're just a CD guy and I'm a vinyl guy, but any high end table making "snap, crackle, pop" is either not set up properly or the records were pulled out of a dumpster.

Even my JVC JLA20 table with Grado black, which I might say cost me a whole $75, is dead quiet, black backgrounds and with a sound quality that beats any CD player I've heard including some very nice ones, which will probably still leave the Apollo in their tracks.

I do listen to CDs though, but only when I get too tired or am too lazy to flip LPs.

Thanks for putting a big effort into a good review, even though it would have been more credible if you'd left out the vinyl slag.

On the basis of your impressions and of Ted's in a thread below, I'll be seeking out an Apollo for audition very soon.
