Rega Apollo MKII CD Player CD Player Looking for a used or new Rega Apollo MK II CD Player. Condition: Used Payment Method: Region/State: (VIC) Victoria/Australia By ColdsnapBry 0 Comments Secure Ad AUD $500 Date: August 3, 20241 yr
A$500 is right on the money versus the recent used market: it sits just under the A$505 median and matches the A$505 25th percentile, so this reads as a fair-to-slightly-keen buy rather than a bargain. It is not overpriced, and it is close enough to the market that a clean example could be worth moving on quickly.
This model is well-liked for its smooth, musical presentation and easy day-to-day usability, so the appeal is straightforward if you want a reliable CD spinner with Rega’s usual low-fuss character. At this price, the main upside is simply getting a respected player for roughly market-floor money; just make sure basic operation is solid and that any remote, box, or service history is accounted for if those matter to you.

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.
