Rega Elex R Integrated Amplifier (Solid State) 5 star reviews, the sweet spot in Rega’s range. Top quality for the money. Superb sound with Wharfedale Lintons, and Spendor D7.2. No digital outputs, just pure analog. With an excellent phono which is awesome with a Rega turntable. 3 years old, not a scratch. Will come with stock cable and remote. It’s 11kg so shipping at buyers expense. Condition: Excellent Payment Method: EFT or cash on pickup Region/State: (NSW) New South Wales/Australia By Spurs 0 Comments Secure Ad AUD $1,200 Date: February 19, 20251 yr
At A$1,200 for an excellent Rega ELEX, this asking price sits ambitiously above the GROUND TRUTH median of A$563 and the 75th percentile of A$876, making it a tough sell compared to finding a Cambridge Audio CXA series amp for similar money. While you might see a used Rega ELEX-R listed near A$1,250 in excellent condition, the older ELEX model commanding A$1,200 is clearly overpriced relative to the broader used market where A$405 to A$876 is the typical range.
The Rega ELEX is well-regarded for its warm, musical sound and capable phono stage, delivering 72W per channel that suits most speakers, but at A$1,200, the buyer must weigh whether the original-owner condition and pristine presentation justify the premium over more affordable alternatives. Unless this listing includes rare accessories or represents a genuine original-owner find with no wear, the price feels ambitious for a model that has been superseded by newer MK4 iterations offering digital inputs and Bluetooth.

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.
