Angeboten wird „Elys 2“ von Rega als Neugerät aus der Kategorie „Tonabnehmer MM“ bei audio-markt.de - dem Online-Marktplatz für High-End. Das Inserat mit der Nummer 8396733060 endet am 22.06.2026 um 12:14 Uhr.
At €125, this looks like a strong deal: it sits just above the €128 25th percentile and below the €149 median of your recent comparable EUR listings, so it’s priced on the low side of fair rather than merely “okay.” That makes it attractive if the stylus is healthy and the cartridge is ready to mount and play.
The Elys 2 is a well-regarded Rega moving-magnet cartridge known for lively timing, clean midrange, and an easy match with Rega arms, so a clean example can be a very satisfying buy. At this level, the main upside is value: you’re paying near bargain territory for a cartridge that still has real musical credibility, so just confirm stylus wear, channel balance, and that the mounting hardware is complete.

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.
