On October 1 and 2 of last year (remember, magazines are slow to print and I just found the article in Jan 2002 Stereophile), Steve Lauerman Audio Imports reported the following:
47 of the first shipment of 60 new Rega Planets with the new alloy finish were stolen. Details of where the theft occured were not provided. Might have been locally, but then again, perhaps not.
Steve asked that if you hear of any of these for sale, that you contact Lauerman Imports immediately @
865-521-6464
There were only 13 distributed in the US through proper channels prior to the 47 getting gone. Pallet load was 60, so I am guessing that the theft occured right here in Knoxville, but I couldn't swear to it.
Laurman is based in Knoxville TN, that's right, the distributor for Rega is right in my home town!
