Are you looking for an inexpensive route into genuinely enjoyable CD playback? At €200, this is a strong deal: it sits well below the comparable-listing 25th percentile of €245, against a median of €290 and 75th percentile of €335. Assuming it plays reliably, the price leaves useful room for a later service or replacement remote.
The Apollo-R remains appealing for its natural, rhythmically assured presentation, compact build, and useful coaxial and optical digital outputs alongside its analogue RCA output. Its top-loading mechanism is distinctive and sounds excellent when functioning properly, but test several discs and confirm the lid and transport operate smoothly. Check that the dedicated remote is included, since it accesses advanced functions. At this price, a clean, fully working example is a worthwhile buy rather than merely a fair one.
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.
