An all new CD player from Rega, the Apollo is a honey! A great deal of effort poured into the development of the Apollo, and it shows. Though it looks very much like the Planet (the machine it replaces) on the outside, virtually nothing inside remains the same. 
The Apollo employs a totally new disc operating system (a Rega exclusive) that optimizes itself for each CD. Load a disc and the word “initializing” appears in the readout. During the procedure (which takes about five seconds) the machine analyzes the CD, optimizing various parameters for best performance. Exactly what’s going on during this (interesting and potentially revolutionary) process, I don’t know. But whatever it is, it works.
