Who says an entry-level turntable can't offer audiophile-level performance and look like a piece of art?
The Planar 1 is the most affordable entry into the Rega range of turntables, but it looks and feels every bit as high-end as turntables costing twice the price!
"Even as an entry-level turntable, this is the kind of player that could feasibly be the last of your system’s components you’d feel necessary to upgrade."

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 a brand new RB110 tonearm fitted with Rega's bespoke zero play bearings. Only sharing the drive belt, sub platter and dust cover from the previous model RP1, this is truly a new turntable.
Tonearm & Cartridge
Brand new RB110 tonearm built with the new Rega designed, bespoke, zero play bearings with ultra-low friction performance. New bias assembly and integrated arm clip. Includes automatic bias adjustment negating the need for the user to set bias, making this the most easy to set up turntable Rega have ever manufactured. New ergonomically, re-designed and stiffer headshell for improved usability and appearance. Rega Carbon cartridge supplied fitted as standard.
The new 111g balance weight fits right on to aid in the turntable's 'Plug & Play' statement.
Platter
Brand new, 23mm, higher mass, phenolic platter with improved flywheel effect for improved speed stability.
Low Vibration Design
The first entry-level Rega turntable to use a 24v, synchronous AC motor with a new motor PCB and aluminium pulley offering low noise and better speed stability. The motor is protected by a new cover tray with integrated cooling.
In addition to the design of the motor is a re-designed brass main bearing, offering improved fit and removing stress on the bearing itself whilst minimising the transfer of potential energy.
The Planar 1, like the rest of the Rega range features new & improved feet to increase stability and reduce vibration transfer.
