In Reply to: Should I switch from Jolida 100 to Rega Apollo posted by ludwig on January 13, 2007 at 22:24:10:
Hi, I've been reading the posts to your question with interest. Having experimented with a good dozen DACs and as many players, I find the Apollo, as a stand alone unit betters my Cal Labs CL-20 with Camelot Dragon Pro II Resolution Filter, Dragon 5.1 jitter filter and Arthur V3 DAC, a set-up which until now had been king of the hill.I like the Jolida 100 alot, but find the Apollo offers blacker background, solid bass and detail extraction I have not heard from players costing more. As good as the original Planet was, this Apollo leaves it in the dust.
I have tried the Apollo connected to my outboard DAC and jitter filters, and at best it is a wash. I notice no improvement. I am opting for simplicity. Rega did their homework. Piano sounds impressively lifelike on the Apollo. I didn't realize how artificial it had sounded before until I heard the Apollo. Brushes on the drums... amazing true life representation.
Frankly, I was skeptical that the Apollo could beat what I had. The Camelot jitter gear is very good. If I had a grand burning a hole in my pocket, I'd give it to Rega. A bargain at the price.
