Stereophile Class A Recommended Component
"The Saturn is a standout CD player, building substantially onto the strong musical core of the Apollo, and extending sonic and musical performance up to a realm that, to be honest, I never thought the CD could achieve. It sets the standard for musical performance from CD, and moreover does it at a price that, while not impulse buy cheap, does not require oxygen augmentation to absorb. Congratulations to Rega again for serving the cause of music so well." Paul Szabady
