This A$230 asking price for a like-new Rega Exact 2 cartridge is a standout bargain, sitting well below the typical used market range of A$350–A$450 and far under the 25th percentile of current valuations. At this price, you are securing a high-performance moving magnet cartridge for less than half its original retail cost, making it an exceptional deal that rarely appears in the used market.
The Rega Exact 2 is highly regarded for its hand-built precision, Vital stylus profile, and three-point mounting system that delivers tight bass and clear detail, especially on entry-to-mid-level turntables. Its original-owner, like-new condition ensures minimal wear and maximum longevity, while the low price eliminates the risk of overpaying for a cartridge that often holds its value. This is a genuine buying opportunity for enthusiasts seeking reliable performance without the premium cost.

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.
