Rega Elex R Mk3 Integrated Amplifier Rega Elex-R Integrated Amp with remote and pretty decent MM phone stage built in. Has 72 watts, very nice sounding amp. I don't have the original box but I can package for shipping. The amp is quite heavy so it will need to be shipped via courier, https://au.interparcel.com/quote/parcel is the service I use.

At A$800, this Rega ELEX listing is a clear bargain compared to the typical used market, sitting well below the 75th percentile of A$876 and even under the median of A$563 for comparable units. While the new Rega Elex MK4 carries a hefty A$2499 price tag, finding a used predecessor in excellent condition for A$800 represents genuine value, especially when the asking price is nearly A$300 below the 75th percentile mark.
This amplifier is well-regarded for its revealing, faithful sound and robust 72W per channel power, making it a versatile choice for mid-tier systems. Its built-in MM phono stage and high-quality DAC add significant flexibility, offering original-owner condition that minimizes wear concerns. With accessories likely intact and no material failure points typical at this price, it’s a timely buying opportunity for enthusiasts seeking premium performance without the new-model premium.

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.
