Measuring Vibrations: Rega's founder and Turntable Guru wins a What Hi-fi?'s 2025 Outstanding Contribution Award
The announcement of Roy Gandy’s 2025 Outstanding Contribution Award from What Hi-Fi? arrives with a sense of inevitability. Vinyl culture has been reshaped by many trends, but the foundations still rest on a handful of people who treated audio as a craft rather than a market.
Gandy belongs to that group. His work has influenced how several generations discover music at home, and the recognition lands at a moment when listeners are paying closer attention to the origins of the products they live with.
Gandy built his first turntable as a teenager – eventually building Rega Research in 1973. The early years were small and disciplined; experiments with rigidity, low-mass structures, and clean mechanical paths. The Planar 3 emerged from this period and changed the expectations around affordable Hi Fi.
Before Rega, Gandy worked in roles that strengthened his instinct for practical engineering. He spent his early years repairing bicycles, building a motorcycle from spare parts, and taking on mechanical tasks that required close attention to tolerances and failure points. He held a day job while assembling Rega’s first turntables in the evenings, and his time in those environments gave him a clear understanding of how materials behave under stress and how simple structures can outperform more elaborate ones.
The 2025 award recognises this long arc; and comes soon after Gandy transferred his ownership to Rega’s employees, prioritised employee job security and preserving the brand’s unique culture.
TRC and Rega share a special relationship. In 2019, we hosted Roy Gandy at our Mahim store, where he set up a Rega P8 with Jude; and later spent time exploring the city with our team.
Earlier this year, TRC visited the Rega factory in the South East of England. Walking through the production floor and observing the assembly process added a layer of clarity to how the company works and why its products feel the way they do. You can sense the accumulated experience in the room, and it becomes obvious why Rega’s reputation holds up in a market defined by rapid shifts.

I and my husband have been married for 24 years and for quite a long time now we have been living as strangers due to some marital issues and his inability to stand out to make things right. Unknown to me, there was some other lady in the picture who has been so daring and doing everything possible to ruin my marriage so she can fully take my place. i sought for help within my reach and nothing worked so i had to contact Tanya Debo who in turn was so helpful and showed me how swift he tends to resolve marital issues for couples. He revealed to me all that happened between my husband and the said and he did everything possible with his powers and got them separated. My husband is fully back home to me and our girls and it gladdens my heart so much. Tanya Debo is trustworthy enough to deliver whenever you call on him for his help to fix your problems. I will recommend you all to contact her email on info.debo.org@gmail.com Call or whatsapp via +2348101793937. Check on her facebook page https://www.facebook.com/share/19boTqSsb2/?mibextid=wwXIfr

Love is not as easy as people make it look like and in love commitment is key, commitment reveals who is true and who is not, I fell in love with the wrong one who was not committed, who did not to sacrifice for what we had, I was lied to and played on, I was seeing the signs but was not sure what it was until my sister told me about Mac and his team (macprivateinvestigators @ gmail .com) who helped expose my husband and all his secrets on how he was involved with other women, the evidence provided made the divorce case easy for me, now I feel free.

Wow I’m so much in great joy because I’ve never in my life believed herbs works, but meeting doctor Oyagu was an eye opener and he made me believe that herpes truly got a complete cure. I used the doctor’s herbal medicine for just two weeks and I was totally cured from both my HSV1 and HSV2. I’m so excited.
