Another winner from Rega. The Apollo CD player uses a new operating system with 20 mb of memory with 32 bit digital signal processing capacity to give the best sound possible from CD, and at the very affordable price of $1195. The Apollo is selling at an amazing pace. We're trying our best to keep them in stock. The new Saturn builds on the strengths of the Apollo and really takes off: dual DACs, upgraded power supplies, newly designed master clock, and many part upgrades. The Saturn is a truly great CD player that competes with the best, and most ecpensive. Recently reviewed by Stereophile and rated Class A. The new Elys 2 cartridge replaces the Elys, and at only $295 gives the performance of the Super Elys, and the new Exact 2 improves upon the Exact and remains at $595.

VINCENT. High quality tube components from this German manufacturer include the very highly reviewed SV-236 Class A 100 watt Hybrid Integrated Amp and companion CD-S6 Tube HDCD CD Player. Vincent does things a little different: defeatable tone controls on the SV-236 and their other Integrated Amps and PreAmps, and HDCD and variable outputs on many of their CD Players, including the CD-S6. The SV-236 also has a metal remote, preamp output, and two sets of speaker binding posts. Robert Harley of The Absolute Sound said this was the greatest value at CES 2006, and Barry Willis of TAS said in his glowing review, "A beauty...a winner..." and was impressed by "its sheer effortless power and musicality." It is also an Absolute Sound Editor's Choice Award winner. At 42 pounds the SV-236 is a big amp with a big sound and plenty of finesse. The new SV-226 MK II 100 watt Hybrid Integrated Amp is a steal at $1499 retail! Highly recommended in the April 2008 Playback web magazine for its build and parts quality and of course its exceptional sound. TheSA-T1 Tube PreAmp sets the mark for a $1599 Pre and matches well with their SP-T100 100 watt Class A Hybrid Monoblocks and their SP-331 150 watt Hybrid Stereo Amp, which at $999 is a lot of amp for the money. Our customers agree. So does The Absolute Sound August 2007 rave review: "the SP-331 is the best-sounding sub-$1000 amplifier I've yet heard...one of the sweetest deals in high-end audio today." Along with the incredibly affordable $599 SA-31 Hybrid line Preamp, it received The Absolute Sound Editor's Choice Award. It also has been named The Absolute Sound's Amplifier of the Year 2007! Check vincent-tac.de for information on their full line of exciting products.

The Destiny Amp is a Class A Stereophile Recommended Component. The Classic CD joins the Classic 5350SE Integrated in the Classic line. The Classic CD was previously called the CD 50 mk II and rated Class B Stereophile; the Classic 5350SE is rated Class A by Stereophile. Both are audiophile bargains at $1595 retail. Also new from Creek are the EVO A 85 watt Integrated amp and the EVO C CD Player, both at $899 retail. Lots of great new products from Creek.

Who doesn't. Get a Noise Harvester or two and see the light show. The Soloist is an In Wall High Current Ultimate Outlet with noise filtration and spike protection. and two outlets.

HEGEL utilizes its patented Sound Engine Technology to do "dynamic real-time cancelling of error in the system." The "Sound Engine Technology" utilizes a "threshold detector," which identifies, calculates, and eliminates error in the playback chain. This translates to a more transparent sound to the source. Reviewers seem to agree that the CDP 2A CD player and H1 Integrated amp, both which retail for $2995, have unusual transparency and low distortion. A slight richness to the mid bass is the only preceptible coloration, if it can be called that. Build quality is impeccible, styling is modern and handsome, sound quality excellent, and value is very high. Also from Hegel are the CDP 4A CD player, H200 200 watt amp, P2A and P4A preamps, and H2A and H4A integrated amps. Hegel, from Norway: put them on your map. Visit their website: www.hegel.com
