What HiFi

Built-in Phono Stage

The built-in phono stage is a high specification pre-amplifier. It is designed to amplify the signal from a moving magnet cartridge to a suitable level for all line level inputs of an appropriate system or audio amplifier. This allows simple connection to a wide variety of products using either the standard twin phono to phono lead (supplied) or phono to 3.5 mm plug (not supplied).

Tonearm

RB110 tonearm built with Rega designed, bespoke, ultra low friction bearings (Patent Pending). Pre-set bias assembly negating the need for the user to set bias, making this the most ‘Plug & Play’ turntable we have ever manufactured. Ergonomically, re-designed and stiffer headshell for improved usability and appearance.

Cartridge

Rega Carbon moving magnet cartridge supplied fitted as standard.

Motor

24 V, synchronous AC motor with a new motor PCB and aluminium pulley offering low noise and better speed stability.

Drive belt

Advanced EBLT drive belt supplied as standard for improved speed performance and accuracy.

Plinth

Three finish options, black, white or walnut effect matt finish plinth with vastly improved appearance and ergonomically positioned on/off switch located on the underside.

Central Bearing housing

Precision brass main bearing, offering improved fit and removing stress on the bearing itself while minimising the transfer of potential energy. (Patent Pending)

Platter

23 mm, high mass, phenolic platter with improved flywheel effect for improved speed stability.

Isolation

Our latest custom foot design to increase stability and reduce vibration transfer.

The Planar 1 Plus sounds brilliant. It is rather lean-sounding when played straight out of the box - but the sound comes into its own after a couple of days, becoming more full-bodied and rhythmically exciting the longer you play.

With the Planar 1 Plus, Rega has managed to create a turntable that is utterly untaxing to set up and use, that still delivers the qualities that we have come to expect from the company.

As someone who has owned and reviewed nearly every turntable Rega has made for the last 35 years, I remain astounded at how they keep refining this platform. There is no easier record playing platform than Rega’s Planar 1 Plus, and I doubt a better value either. Definitely Exceptional Value Award material!
