  • Join Brad from Audio T as he caught up Rega Founder, Roy Gandy, at the Bristol Hi-Fi Show 2023. They chat about engineering, violins and the all new Naia turntable!
    Rega Research is a company that enjoys being different. Never one to sheepishly follow convention, it stands almost completely alone among major hi-fi companies in its commitment to UK manufacturing. Rega products are proud to be British, from the casework, to the electronics housed inside, design and through to manufacture. Rega’s aim is, and always has been, to make high quality products that faithfully and reliably reproduce music for sensible prices. From the very first turntable Rega produced back in 1973 to the current range of CD players, amplifiers, turntables, loudspeakers and accessories, it has always embraced new ideas and thinking, resulting in musical performance that goes beyond the norm.
    Expect many more new and exciting products to be added to their product line up.

      You would never look at a Rega after listening to the Technics SL 1200 G. It's at a different level.

    Stunning !!!! Still hoping that prices in the USA vs are more in line with the rest of the world... From my experience, there is easily a 40% premium for an identical table bought in the USA vs the EU or Asia !!! SIGH.....

      Hi @ericlubow4354, Thanks for taking the time to watch the video 😊 What you can't see out of frame is how busy the room was, and how close I've had to squeeze up to Roy 😅 I promise that when I go to the factory later in the year for a full interview, there will be unencumbered eye-contact between myself and Roy!

      Hey @Kowindaida, I love the description of "Lord of the Rings perspective" 😅 We did have to use a wide-angle as it was a very busy room and Roy and myself were pushed back against the wall. Hope it didn't deter from the interview too much? Thanks for watching. All the best, Brad - Audio T

    Ok well I'll question some mythology for you! The Rega Elex, the latest incarnation of which is mk4, is just not that great an amplifier that all the Rega fanboys seem to say it is. It's safe and even a little dull. So put that in your mythology questioning pipe!

    • @audiot
      @audiot  Год назад +2

      Hey @robermarshall7712, the beauty of Hi-Fi is that there is no right or wrong answers. Everyone has different tastes and opinions. The Elex series have won multiple awards and are favoured amplifiers by many enthusiasts and music lovers, so they must be doing something right 😊 Thanks for watching. All the best - Brad, Audio T
