Since my thread was wiped out

I can started afresh:

Under 2k

(I have some deals in SG, so don't look for these prices here)

Marantz SA 15 - 1800 SING$

Maranrz SA 7001 KIS - 1150SIN$

Rega Apollo - 1650 SING$

OR SA 7001 850SIN$

And give the rest to the disaster fund...

PS: I sold my Rega Planet on a whim... some regret now...

BTW the Arcam Diva 73 was SING 1500 - not worth it I reckon

yeah the arcam not good value in singapore as around $1k here.

the marantz sa15 would be my pic out that bunch

pity the rega planets gone !

the apollo has a good rep and probably a good move if wanting to stick the the rega sound

Al, I copped out

Went for the SA 7001 KIS, and will use the money saved to donate to the disaster in Asia.

The SA 7001 was close I can tell you.

Another review coming up.... plus a story of a Jap school who went to Syd Uni with me who turned out to be a real audiophile! Worked for Philips... and knew her terms and parts...

Lucky she was with me

BTW the Cairns Tornado was not bad, but at SING $ 1600, it was not value enough.
