Reluctant sale this but ive decided to go down the streaming route.

Rega Isis in very well looked after condition.

Spent its life in a smoke free room.

Previous owner returned player to Rega to have a new Transport mech fitted which has worked faultlesly since.

Ive used this for 99% of the time to stream via a raspberry pi so cdp section is as good as new.

Great cd player this,very anologue sounding,has a lifetime guarantee from Rega i'm told and they have spare mechs etc in stock if and when needed.

Collection prefared plus you can have a listen first for peace of mind.

Comes with original wooden crate and all cables.

Pictures to follow.

£2750 ono.

I've heard this player on numerous occasions, and it's UTTERLY SUPERB, as both a standalone CD player or DAC. I can also confirm that it's in minty-mint condition. As such, the eventual buyer will be a very lucky person! :cool:

Another lovely looking bit of kit I can't afford:(

This also comes with (possibly) the most weighty remote control ever... nice and chunky and solid.

BTW, Rega offer superb life-long support for this product. I recently sent my well-used one back for a service, including replacing a couple of damaged buttons on the remote. I put a note in, saying "buttons chewed by hamster". It came back with a hand-written addition ... "buttons repaired by Ray". Thanks, Ray! :D

That's hilarious. We like Ray. P, do you happen to know if the transport bit of this player is majorly different from the Saturn's? Or Saturn R's? Or are the differences principally in the DAC? My Saturn has had three transports now. So, while Ray is clearly on it, I do wonder how good some of his components are...

Pete, Please ignore my numpty prior question. I've just been on the Rega site and seen very comprehensive info (which I don't remember seeing there before, but it's been a long while since I looked). It's a very different animal. And it all sounds hugely impressive. I doubt Ray will be required somehow...

Looks like Bruce Wayne designed it, serious looking price of kit.

As you probably read, Rega keep two (matched) spare laser mechanisms for each Isis sold, so effectively offering life-time support. This was a major factor in me buying one ... apart from it being a great-sounding device :thumbsup:
