I have just returned from a little Rega "show" with about 10 people at a Rega shop. I got to hear the Rega RS1 with Regas new Brio-R connected to the Rega Saturn. It sounded fantastic. Then we switched over to the new Rega P1 and it still sounded great. We then also tried the Apollo with the Rega Dac and RS5 speakers. Somehow the sound got much better when I sat on the front row, or maybe it was because I had just had an Sommersby apple cider
