Timing matters a bit here because this is an older Rega integrated, but the asking price of £282 sits comfortably in the used sweet spot against your recent comps: above the £209 25th percentile, but below the £303 median and well under the £348 75th percentile. That makes it a fair-to-good buy, not a bargain-bin steal, but still sensibly priced for a quick decision.
The Mira 3 is well liked for the kind of easy, rhythmically assured sound Rega does best: lively, clean, and engaging rather than heavy-handed. For a buyer, the appeal is a straightforward, good-sounding integrated that can still make a very musical system on modest money, especially if the unit is tidy and complete. I’d just want to confirm normal age-related basics — smooth pot and switches, no channel imbalance, and no repair history — but at this price those checks are sensible rather than alarming.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
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.
