I have just bought a new Rega Apollo R cd player. This is my first decent CD player and I am really enjoying the sound… Its a big step up for me in the world of digital audio. The only thing that I am not happy about are the odd initialising/reading issues and one time it froze up. So far I have played around 20 cd's and have had the following issues come up.
1. Will not initialise a CD that works on my other player, which is a Sony BDPs370 DVD/CD player.
2. On another CD it will not play track 01 without skipping about. Again this track plays fine on my other player.
3. One time I couldn't stop the player and all the controls would not respond and had to turn off the power button. This has only happened once.
I am wondering if better quality cd players tend to be more temperamental when reading cd's or do these issues suggest a bigger problem with the player? Apart from these 3 issues it has worked fine and sounds great. I really like the warmth & detail of the player.
