Offered is „RP 6“ by Rega as new device from the category „Record Player, Tone Arm, System...“ on audio-markt.de - the online market place for high-end. The advert with the number 2909403128 ends on 17.10.2026 at 06:11 o'clock.
The RP6 is a well-regarded step-up deck, but €2,380 is well above the model’s original new price of about €1,300–€1,495 for the table itself, and even above the €1,990 package price with cartridge. Against the usual used market, that reads ambitious rather than fair unless this one includes valuable extras or a notably upgraded cartridge and is in near-mint condition.
What makes it worth considering is the RP6’s core reputation: lively pace, strong timing, and the clean, involving Rega sound that still holds up very well. A tidy example can be a smart buy if it comes with the right arm/cartridge setup, original box, and a healthy platter/bearing/motor; otherwise, at this asking price, I’d want a complete package and proof it’s been cared for, not just a bare deck.

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.
