Pearl Audio is an authorized Rega dealer in Portland. We represent the range from the Planar 1 to the Naia, the RB tonearms, Rega's moving-magnet and moving-coil cartridges, the amplifiers, the phono stages and the CD players.
A Rega is designed to be simple to own, but it still rewards careful setup. Our staff level each turntable, fit and align the cartridge, set tracking force and check speed before it leaves the shop, and we can order factory-fitted turntable and cartridge combinations where that suits the rest of your system. If you are bringing a deck in from elsewhere, we are glad to check it over on the same bench.
We also help with the parts of a record-playing system that are easy to get wrong: matching a cartridge to a phono stage, choosing between a moving-magnet and a moving-coil cartridge, and deciding whether the phono stage in your amplifier is the one to use.
Every Planar follows the same idea, a light, rigid plinth with a one-piece cast tonearm, and each step up the range refines it with a better bearing, platter, arm and power supply. Tell us what you listen to and what the turntable will play through, and we will suggest where in the range the money is best spent. Rega's amplifiers and loudspeakers are designed alongside the turntables, and a complete Rega system is a straightforward and satisfying way to begin.
The Rega overview shows the range by category and which pieces are on demonstration now. Ask and we will set one up for you to hear.
We deliver and install in your home in the Portland area, placing the turntable on a suitable surface and checking it in position. Rega turntables are built to be improved: a Neo power supply, a new cartridge or a better phono stage are natural later steps, and we fit and set up each of them here. Rega backs its products with a lifetime limited warranty against manufacturing defects.
Rega has built turntables in Southend-on-Sea, England, since 1973. Its story is on our Rega history and technology page.
