Musical! it sounds so right! lovely detail I listen to it for hours and never get bored of it! It definately is NOT bright! Very Analogue sounding!
The DAC makes the Apollo r sound even better......it blows me away!
Just demo it to see for yourself!
audioaddict said:I have to say pp im very tempted by the creek im just gutted theres no phono stage which means maybe id have to get another one (just sold mine on the bay ) or get one fitted on the creek. Im also getting the feeling that rega are a bit like naim in that you either love em or hate em .

audioaddict said:I think i do fancy the creek pp as the power as you well know is similar to my previous mono audiolab monoblocs which suited my cm1s. its just the audiolabs were not a nice long term listen hence the sale

As well as system, room and newness (of speakers) dependant. I reckon a lot of stuff gets over-looked due to poorly done demos.
