Rega Planar 1 Turntable

Description

The new
Planar 1 is the most user friendly Rega turntable to date. Now with preset
bias force on the brand new RB110 tonearm, the Planar 1 is set up in
seconds after unpacking. Simply slide the balance weight onto the rear of
the tonearm as far as it will go, remove the stylus guard and start spinning
your favourite vinyl.

Performance beyond price

Every single aspect of the Planar 1 has been meticulously designed to
improve performance. For the first time the Planar 1 is now running a 24v,
low noise, synchronous motor to reduce vibration transfer combined
with our brand new RB110 tonearm fitted with Rega’s bespoke zero
play bearings. Only sharing the drive belt, sub platter and dust
cover from the outgoing RP1, this is truly a new turntable for 2016.

If you
are looking to get back into vinyl and want serious performance that will
last you a lifetime, then look no further.
