This is a buyer’s market for the category at the moment, and £230 lands below the median £312 and not far above the 25th percentile £179, so it reads as fair-to-good value rather than a steal. It is not a bargain in the strict sense, but it is comfortably under the typical middle of the market, which makes it a sensible buy if the unit is working properly.
That’s a strong point for this Rega: the Mira has a good reputation for lively, rhythmic, no-nonsense sound, and the included Solar remote adds real day-to-day usefulness. For a clean, original example with honest cosmetics, this is the sort of integrated amp that can be a very satisfying purchase if you want musical drive without fuss; I’d mainly confirm all inputs, the volume pot, and that the remote functions as expected.

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.
