Decks

By Judith Muller

Rega Ltd. is regarded as a high end audio equipment manufacturer based within the UK. Rega was founded in 1973. The company's name was created of the initials of its two pioneers (R.Elph & G.Andy). Historically Rega are best known for the Rega Planar turntable, but in recent years the company has diversified into a range of other hi-fi products. The company's RB250 and RB300 tonearms are highly regarded for their sonic performance irrespective of their modest cost.

Rega's philosophy is to make higher quality products at sensible prices, as a means of reproducing music as consistently as possible. Rega is dedicated to the design and development of new and existing products, both in hi-fi and other areas, that will perpetuate Rega's values of quality and value for money.

Music fans recognize that vinyl is hot again. With a rise in sales and in titles out there, every serious music listener wants to find a very good turntable. There are lots of brand names out there being created all over the world. The best thing to do when choosing a table is to listen to it! Don't let some clerk hand you a box and promise you success.

When Rega released the top loader Rega Planet CD player in 1996, it was a small feeling inside the audio land. Would the famous turntable specialist be the long awaited savior of the digital sound? Rega Apollo is really a transformed and renamed Rega Planet. The most substantial upgrade is a sophisticated servo controller, which uses the newest signal processing techniques (20 MB of memory, 32 bit processing) to ensure high high quality data recovery. Also, the player has a brand new transport mechanism, superior error correction, and stable proprietary phase lock loop.

Rega is committed to producing kit for stereo music, a technique that regardless of the apparent commercial madness of disregarding home cinema has done it plenty of favours over its 30 year history. The fact that it launched two new fairly expensive turntables indicates that things are pretty healthy inside the analogue stereo market place for a company that is this dedicated. - 42265
