Rega P8 turntable with the Ania MC cartridge fitted Superb TT in beautiful condition throughout Complete with Neo Mk2 power supply,Rega MC phono stage and dust cover All packagingbox present and whilst collection is preferable, next day shipping available for 15
This is a buyer’s market for a Rega P8 at present: £1,395 sits just below your comparable listings’ £1,402 25th-percentile mark and £15 below the £1,410 median. That makes it a strong deal rather than merely fair, particularly in excellent condition.
The P8 remains a highly capable, low-mass deck, combining the RB880 arm, Neo power supply, accurate electronic speed control and a superb triple-layer glass platter. It is fast, clean and rhythmically assured, with plenty of resolution without becoming fussy. At this price, it looks like a worthwhile buying opportunity; just confirm the cartridge, dustcover, counterweight and Neo PSU are included, since those details materially affect the package’s value.

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.
