Hallo,
ich trenne mich aufgrund eines Systemwechsels von meinem Rega RP3 (schwarz)
Der Plattenspieler ist wie neu und wurde nur sehr wenig benutzt.
Zudem hat er folgende wertvolle Upgrades erhalten, welche ihn zu einem sehr hochwertigen Player zudem nochmal aufwerten
-Rega Exact System
-Rega RP8/RP10 Metallfüsse
-Rega Reference Belt (weiß)
Abholung in Oldenburg. Versand nur nach Absprache.
The €650 asking price for this excellent-condition Rega EXACT cartridge sits just below the 75th percentile of the used market (€683) and is very close to the median of €542, making it a fair, not ambitious, deal. While new equivalents like the Rega Elys 2 start around €295, the EXACT offers superior wire efficiency and build quality that justify its higher historical value, so this price reflects a clean listing rather than a bargain.
This is a worthwhile buy because the EXACT is a well-regarded, hand-built moving magnet cartridge known for its efficiency and clarity, often outperforming newer budget options. The excellent condition and implied original-owner status add meaningful upside, ensuring you receive a reliable, fully tested unit without the risk of age-related wear or missing mounting hardware. For a fellow enthusiast seeking proven performance, this represents a solid buying opportunity at a fair price.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
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.
