Rega Planar 1 Turntable

This multi-award winning ‘Plug and Play’ design utilises our handmade RB110 tonearm, with pre-set bias and a factory fitted Carbon cartridge. Set-up is possible in under 30 seconds and delivers incredible performance well beyond its price point.

Performance beyond price

A fresh new look for the multi-award winning Planar 1. We are delighted to introduce the new matt finish Planar 1. Every single aspect of the Planar 1 has been meticulously designed to improve performance. The Planar 1 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.

TONEARM

Brand new RB110 tonearm built with the new Rega designed, bespoke, ultra-low friction bearings (patent pending). New bias assembly and integrated arm clip.

Great Piece of Kit

28 January 2021 | Dirk

An absolutely precision piece of machinery!
After much research I decided on this as its oft considered amongst the best of the entry level turntables
I am not disappointed, all my vinyl had been stored away for pretty much approaching 25 years and now is a rediscovered gem that is being added to at an exponential rate!!
The service from Analogue Seduction was quick and easy and couldn't have been easier to set up
Completely recommended on every level

Rega

Nice turntable, really pleased with it. The sound quality is so much better than the Pioneer turntable I have been using for many years.

Outstanding - far better than i was expecting. I have an ten-year-old Rega turntable, and the ten years of development have not been wasted.
