For sale there are: a Rega Planar 3 with Elys 2 cartridge + Graham Slee Era Gold X Reflex Phono stage + Graham Slee PSU1-24 linear power supply for the phono stage. Brand new they cost ~1500.

I have owned this equipment from new and it has had very light use. In total it has been played around 50 hours. I do have the original user manual, accessories and box that the turntable came with.

I would prefer this to be collected in order to minimise damage. You are welcome to have a good listen when you arrive.

If you are not able to pick up and prefer it to be shipped, please contact me and we can make shipping arrangements. I do have big enough cardboard boxes to fit the Rega box in it and the phono stage and power supply. They would, of course be wrapped in enough layers of bubblewrap to survive a “heavy assault from a disgruntled postie”. 🙂
Below I have attached a brief description for each item.

If you have further questions or would like more pictures please ask.

Thank you for your interest.

The Reflex (along with the Revelation) is the result of a 2 year 100,000investment in phono stage development that not only overcame the questionablequality of RoHS science, but took vinyl reproduction a step-beyond making thisa destination product (according to The Stereo Times).

In keeping with Graham Slees philosophy that the very best should be broughtwithin the reach of the majority, the price tag of the Reflex has been keptwithin the realms of sanity.

Another sane feature is the Reflexes ability to return an incredibleperformance using moving magnet cartridges or the higher output type of movingcoil. The ultimate cartridge partner being the Music Maker Classic by TheCartridgeman (a modern high performance moving iron cartridge).

The Green power supply described on our product pages for use with our budgetstages or as entry level option for our flagship products, is a switched modetechnology plug-top design. GrahamSlee PSU1-24 linear power supply:The PSU1 is the unipolar linear audio power supply supplied with ourflagship phono stage preamps and headphone amplifiers.The PSU1 linear audio power supply has a stabilized output voltage of +24VDCas well as a nominal 30V DC, at a down-rated 200mA. It is available withdetachable DC cords fitted with plugs to fit 2.5mm (standard issue) or 2.1mm DCsocket pins, and with detachable mains cords to suit UK.The PSU1 is designed to be a remote power supply placed well away fromsensitive equipment like turntables and cartridges which are susceptible to pickup of stray magnetic fields. For maximum isolation it is best sited off thehi-fi rack.It uses a specially manufactured mains transformer made using top qualitytransformer steel thus consuming minimal excitation (core magnetisation)current whilst optimising transformer regulation. A benefit is that it keepstransformer buzz to an absolute minimum which is only audible at very closequarters.Transformer secondary, rectifier and reservoir capacitor interconnectionsare kept to the absolute minimum length minimising charging current losses andinteractions.The PSU1 can be used to upgrade the sound quality – sound-staging, morevivid tonal colour and bass detailing – of Graham Slee phono stage preampsand headphone amplifiers supplied with switch-mode or linear plug-top powersupplies. Upgrading to the PSU1 has the effect of taking your Graham Slee phonostage preamp or headphone amplifier to a higher level of musical performance.
