All About Rega
Rega is a highly respected British manufacturer of high-end audio equipment, particularly renowned for their turntables and associated hi-fi components. The company's breakthrough came with the Planar 3 turntable, which became an industry standard and continues to be one of their most successful products, albeit in evolved forms. Rega's philosophy centers on the belief that simpler designs often yield better sound quality, leading them to develop innovative solutions that minimize unnecessary complexity while maximizing performance.
Beyond turntables, Rega produces a comprehensive range of audio equipment, including tonearms, cartridges, amplifiers, CD players, and speakers. All their products are manufactured in their facility in Southend-on-Sea, Essex, maintaining strict quality control and reflecting their commitment to British manufacturing.
Rega's design approach emphasizes rigid construction, precise engineering, and the elimination of resonance in their products. This attention to detail has earned them numerous awards and a loyal following among audiophiles who appreciate their products' exceptional build quality and natural, uncolored sound reproduction.
