Rega Planar 1

Price:

$595.00

The new Planar 1 is Rega’s latest entry-level offering into the world of high fidelity turntables and one of our most popular turntables at Audio Element.

Home of the Turntable Bar, you can audition Rega turntables in our Pasadena, CA location for a one-of-a-kind turntable listening experience.

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 favorite vinyl.

Performance Beyond Price
Every single aspect of the P1 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 from the ground up.

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