Offered is „Rega Planar 3 + Rega Exact + Rega Neo PSU - Top, OVP, Rechnung“ by Rega as second-hand device from the category „Record Player complete“ on audio-markt.de - the online market place for high-end. The advert with the number 6118237740 ends on 13.11.2026 at 22:58 o'clock.
A Planar 3 is notable because it’s one of the classic “buy once, enjoy for years” belt-drive tables, and €899 lands it in a good spot versus the local used market. With a median of €1,127 and a 25th percentile of €764, this is comfortably below the middle of the pack and not far above the bargain end, so it reads as a fair-to-strong buy rather than a stretch.
What makes it worth considering is the Rega formula: simple setup, low-fuss reliability, and lively, rhythmically convincing playback that holds its value well. At this price, a clean example in good condition is attractive, especially if it includes the original arm, dust cover, and a healthy cartridge or at least a decent stylus. No major red flags jump out at €899; the main check is just the usual one for any used turntable: speed stability, bearing noise, and whether any upgrade parts are properly installed.
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.
