At US$509, this Rega Mira 3 is priced just under the 75th percentile (US$553) but comfortably above the median (US$403) of seven recent USD sales, making it a fair but not bargain listing. The asking price sits in the upper half of the used market, reflecting its included MM phono section and likely solid condition, though it lacks the strong deal appeal of listings near or below the median.
The Mira 3 remains well-regarded for its clean British sound, 60Wpc output, and surprisingly capable preamp stage that offers more attack and control than sibling models like the Brio 3. It’s a respected entry-level integrated that pairs well with efficient speakers and delivers excellent value for new hi-fi enthusiasts. With no noted caveats in this listing and the MM phono already included, it’s a worthwhile buy for someone seeking a reliable, original-owner unit at a fair price.

Rega Research, founded in 1973 in Essex, England, by Roy Gandy and Tony Relph, emerged from Gandy's lifelong passion for vinyl playback. A Ford engineer and music enthusiast, Gandy built his first turntable, the Planet, in his spare time, blending the founders' surnames to create the Rega name. From humble beginnings in a derelict mill, the company quickly gained traction with early models like the Planar 2 and Planar 3, establishing its heritage as a British hi-fi pioneer dedicated to precision engineering and hand-assembly.
Rega specializes in turntables and tonearms, its cornerstone products, but has expanded into a full ecosystem including cartridges, integrated amplifiers like the Elicit and Brio, phono stages such as the Fono, and speakers like the Ela series. While early efforts included loudspeakers and electronics from the 1980s onward, the brand prioritizes vinyl-centric components over headphones, DACs, or cables, all designed in-house for musical fidelity using specialist materials and tight tolerances.
Rega holds a revered position in the high-end hi-fi market as a niche boutique icon, prized by audiophiles for affordable, lifetime-quality performance that emphasizes music over gimmicks. Globally exported to over 50 countries from its Essex facility employing more than 150, it remains a symbol of British ingenuity, with turntables like the Planar series securing enduring loyalty among vinyl revivalists.
