SKU: N/A Categories: , Brand:

The new Rega Planar 1 is a complete redesign of the very popular RP 1 turntable. This new turntable surpasses the sonic quality of the older RP 1 performance pack in my opinion which we considered the best sub $1k turntable in the store. The Planar 1 features Rega’s new RB110 tonearm with zero play bearings that offer ultra-low friction performance. The Planar 1 comes equipped with a Rega Carbon cartridge and takes less than a minute to set up.

What Hi-Fi Magazine 5-star review! “Despite a number of modifications to the Planar 1, Rega stays true to its sound: a spritely, entertaining turntable with no obvious flaws”

What Hi-Fi Magazines Pro’s: Good amount of detail, Rhythmic and expressive, Easy to put together
