The Rega RP3 and RP6 slight cosmetic seconds

[bigfish786]

For all those interested, there are a few on eBay again.

Pick up a bargain while you can.

£349 for the RP3 and £649 for the RP6

Are they just cosmetic defeats though? Some RP3s are £299.

I believe so, brand new, with warranty, from rega dealers.

This usually happens a few times a year.

The rp6 is very tempting with ttpsu included.

add a cart of your choice and you are sorted.

OK thanks, only heard a few people having wonky platters on those, but I suppose you can get that on the grade A ones.

Its certainly puts the used prices into perspective, who would buy a 15-20 year old RP3 for £250-£300 when when you can get a new one for that price?

Because end of line deals are limited.

Although, there are no 15-20 year old RP3s out there. Planar 3s maybe...

If it's that old then it's a Planar 3 not a RP3, and yes it is overpriced unless it includes a good cartridge.

I had a white RP6 seconds - couldnt see anything wrong with it - bargain if you ask me

It has been quite obvious that the Rega namings is confusing a lot of people

There is a big difference between Planar and RP versions, and indeed tonearms they have attached.

Be wary folks.

Yes I meant Rega Planar 3. Yes its confusing going from Planar 3 to RP3 and now to Planar 3 again.

Most come with cheap cartridge like the AT95E, Stanton ? and Linn K9 or nothing.
