Rega Apollo and CD-R problems.

In John Atkinson's recent testing of a Rega Apollo CD player he noted difficulties playing CD-R's. Have Rega Apollo owner's experienced similar difficulties? There are other operational difficulties noted in an earlier Audiogon posting. Is this a flawed design? Have the problems been corrected? An attempt to get an answer from the U.S. distributor went unanswered.

So far, everything seems to be working fine with mine, except the display gives inconsistent meassages -- displaying "Initializing" or "Rega Apollo" interchangeably for the exact same routine. No big deal, but hopefully it's not a harbinger of things to come. I really like this player.

No problems with mine either. After reading Atkinson's comment about not being able to play the black cdR's, I went into my collection and played all the ones I had. They played flawlessly, so I don't know what was up with the ones he had??????

Peace and later,

No problems for me so far - sounds better than the Arcam CD73 it replaced too

The Apollo's owner's manual clearly states that any CD-Rs recorded at greater than 8x are not guaranteed to play, as the player may not be able to read it.

It's in the owner's manual. Maybe that's why some people are having problems with the Apollo reading their CD-Rs?
