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.

Hi everyone the importance of double-checking cannot be stressed enough. In this fast-paced digital world, it’s easy to get caught up in the excitement and rush through transactions without giving them proper attention. But let this be a reminder to us all: slow down, take a breath, and be diligent. The whole ordeal was undeniably stressful, but it taught me a valuable lesson about resilience and the power of perseverance. It also reminded me of the importance of the human touch in the digital world. Whether it’s scrutinizing wallet addresses, verifying transaction details, or choosing secure payment platforms, a little extra effort can save you from falling into the same pitfalls. And let’s face it, who wants to spend weeks trying to retrieve their hard-earned money? So, my friends, learn from my mishap, laugh at my misfortune, and take the necessary precautions to ensure smooth sailing in your financial endeavors. I found myself in a state of disbelief and panic after realizing I had sent a staggering $125,000 to the wrong wallet but the kindness and support I received from SMITH WHITE HACK SERVICE team were heartwarming. I will forever be grateful for those who helped me navigate through this frustrating experience. It’s amazing how a difficult situation can bring out the best in people. It was a moment of pure relief and gratitude. My money was back where it belonged, and I couldn’t be happier. Thank you SMITHWHITEHACKSERVICE@GMAIL COM <> WhatsApp +1 (559 508 2403)

Thanks to Jetwebhackers’ expertise and dedication, I was able to recover not only the initial investment but also the profit I was promised. Their help has been a blessing to my family, and we can now focus on my husband’s recovery without financial stress. I highly recommend Jetwebhackers to anyone who has fallen victim to crypto scams.
