The Rega P6 typically sits around a A$1,500–A$1,833 used asking range in the supplied comparables, with a median of A$1,667. At A$2,000, this listing is clearly above the 75th percentile, so it looks ambitious unless it includes a particularly valuable cartridge, immaculate original-owner condition, or unusually complete accessories.
The P6 remains a very desirable deck: its lightweight rigid plinth, RB330 arm, dual-layer glass platter and Neo power supply deliver excellent pitch stability, rhythmic drive and a clean, engaging presentation. It is an easy, largely plug-and-play upgrade from a P3. At this price, insist on a strong cartridge and excellent condition; otherwise, negotiating toward A$1,700–A$1,800 would make it much more compelling.

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.
