What we Say:

The new Rega Planar 1 plus turntable is the most user friendly and easy to set up Rega turntables to date.

The design philosophy of the more expensive models applies but at a lower price point. Rega use a low mass plinth and Phenolic resin platter that controls unwanted resonance. The new RB110 tonearm has self setting bias. The Planar 1 plus is set up in minutes after unpacking. The Planar 1 plus also includes a built in phono stage. Connect this deck directly to any line level input on your amplifier.

The Rega Planar 1 plus comes pre-fitted with the excellent Rega Carbon MM cartridge. Simply fit the counterweight, set the tracking force, remove the stylus guard and start spinning your favourite vinyl.

From Rega:-

We asked ourselves, how do we make the most successful turntable we have ever made sound better, be even easier to use and be more accessible to a wider audience? The answer was simple; our engineers added a custom designed, high quality, moving magnet phono stage based around the multi-award winning What Hi-Fi? 5 Star Fono Mini.
Every single aspect of the Planar 1 PLUS has been meticulously designed to improve performance. The Planar 1 PLUS uses a bespoke 24 V, low noise, synchronous motor to reduce vibration combined with our hand made RB110 tonearm fitted with our unique Rega designed ultra-low friction bearings. We have added our latest drive belt technology the EBLT belt which delivers greater accuracy and improved speed performance. If you are looking to get back into vinyl and want serious performance that will last you a lifetime, then look no further.
