The Rega Naiad turntable is the culmination of 40 years of Rega turntable philosophy taken to the extreme as a no-expense-spared project. After years of anticipation just 40 Naiad have been produced, with each unit representing a year of Rega's history with a matching serial number ranging from 1973-2012.
