Rega Planet or Apollo CD Player

I am looking at the Rega Planet or Apollo CD Player. Is it worth the extera money to get the Apollo? Any other recommended CD players less than $1000?

It is true that depending on the cd you can wait up to 15 seconds or more for the disk to "initialise" but when you turn the display off and let the unit play for about 15 minutes the apollo has a much smoother expansive sound.

You need to match with mellower gear. The Planet is a bit sharp on top - yes, compared to the Apollo, likely. How about a good transport and dac combo? The Theta's floating around out there are very nice, bel canto's, etc. Good luck

Others to consider might be the Cambridge Azur's...highly rated and sound terrific...friend has the 740 and it is sweet from bottom to top. Great looking unit and in your price range if you consider prev owned.
