Mint condition used it for about a week or so, because I got a Preamp with a built in phono stage. The protective film is still on the face as I did not have time to peel it off, I have the original box which came from Rega England. New it is $650.00 plus tax. As one would expect, Rega is excelled at re-creating the inner detail of music, and adept at extracting the delicacy, the subtle nuances of unamplified instruments. Along with inner details comes agile reproduction of transients, but without a trace of hardness.
