Offered is „Elicit R“ by Rega as second-hand device from the category „Transistor-Fullamp“ on audio-markt.de - the online market place for high-end. The advert with the number 5710155962 ends on 26.10.2026 at 13:36 o'clock.
At €1,290, this sits clearly above the usual used market for the Elicit-R and reads as ambitious rather than fair. With recent comps centered at €939 and the upper quartile at €1,025, the seller is asking a meaningful premium.
That premium only makes sense if the unit is unusually clean, well documented, and comes with original packaging, remote, and proof of careful ownership. The Elicit-R is well liked for its punchy, lively presentation, solid drive, and ability to sound engaging without getting fatiguing, so it remains a very desirable integrated. If the listing is genuinely mint and complete, it may still appeal to someone who wants one now, but as a value buy there is better money elsewhere.
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.
