Apollo/Saturn, Raysonic, or CEC... who wins?

If you get a Rega Saturn, have the laser replaced as it makes a nice improvement for some reason.  The CEC you refer to is an older model and if I am correct, you cannot find a replacement laser unless Audio Union knows where to find one.  I can use one if anyone knows where to get one.

Happy Listening.

Rega Apollo 2017 newest version cannot be beat. The recently lowered price to $695 new in box. I have never been so blown away by a single component. Paid $1095 for mine 2 years ago. Thought it was a fair price. They upped price to $1325 earlier this year before announcing retirement from CD players for now. Recently heard a hifi rose streamer playing redbook file and it sounded so lifeless! That streamer sells for $2450. The guys dac was $1900. Apollo blew it away. Go for it!

I don't think Rega is out of the Cd player business, they aren't producing the Apollo anymore but their website does not state that to be the case about the Saturn or ISIS.

Also, where are you seeing the Apollo for $625, googling shows $995 at Music Direct, Upscale Audio , Safe & Sound to name a few?
