Out of This World – Rega's Apollo CD Player Offers Cosmic Value for Money!
This episode sees Mike and David waxing lyrical about Rega's often-overlooked budget silver disc spinner – and wonder why the world wasn't listening when it was introduced. Despite offering really strong sound and excellent build quality at a surprisingly low price, it hasn't set the hi-fi world on fire – not least because streaming is now flavour of the month. The guys sing its praises and reckon it's a great affordable silver disc spinner. And what's not to love about its zany cantilevered top-loading design? Each episode of Hi-Fi Riff features Mike and David's unedited, unexpurgated views about all manner of weird and wonderful hi-fi designs. Business executive Mike has a wealth of knowledge from previous hi-fi retail experience, and David has written about hi-fi for thirty years. Now Editor-in-Chief of StereoNET, he's picked up a few things along the way. So relax and enjoy some one-take hi-fi riffing – and please leave your comments below. And don’t forget to hit the Subscribe button, this one goes up to eleven! The eighties-tastic title tune is called ‘UFO/Mike’s Jumper’, and used with the express permission of our old pal and rights holder Simon Lythe.
