Rega’s very own version of the government’s Cash For Clunkers program nets you a substantial rebate when you trade an old, broken down unit for either of the firm’s two most affordable CD players.

Rega Research of England, renowned for value-priced high-performance turntables, began applying its better-sound-for-less philosophy to CD players a dozen years ago, and critics agree the resultant units are sensational.

Now the cost of great Rega CD sound is even lower, thanks to this limited-time deal. Here’s how it works:

1. Bring an old CD or DVD player in to Lyric — any make, any model, any age, any condition.
2. Purchase a Rega Apollo or Saturn CD player.
3. We'll deduct an on-the-spot Rega rebate allowance from your invoice. It will amount to 15% of the suggested retail price of an Apollo when you buy one, or a full 25% of the Saturn’s MSRP when you purchase that model.

But act quickly. This offer is set to expire on March 31.

Critics Have Hailed The Rega Sound

If you’re unfamiliar with Rega CD players, you should know they’ve been acclaimed by critics in the most prestigious audio magazines.

Stereophile’s Art Dudley has called the Apollo “a surprising step forward...and a hell of a bargain” while that journal’s Sam Tellig has cited “unanimity among critics” in regard to the Apollo’s status as a “category-killer.”

Chris Martens of The Absolute Sound has raved that Rega’s digital technology “offers breakthrough performance at a bargain price,” and Mike Quinn of Jazz Times has written that “on a purely musical level it would be hard to beat” the Saturn.

Hear A Rega CD Player At Lyric

We invite you to hear how these technicalities translate to listening pleasure. You can do that by visiting either of our stores with a few favorite CDs and sitting down in a listening room for an intensive and enjoyable musical interlude with either or both Rega models.

Be sure to do so soon, though. Rega's United States importer, which is making this generous trade-in offer, has told us it's subject to cancellation at any time.
