Overview

How do you improve the sound of the most successful turntable Rega has ever made, make it even easier to use and more accessible to a wider audience? The answer was simple; our engineers added a high-quality, custom-designed, built-in moving magnet phono stage based on the multi-award-winning What Hi-Fi? 5-star Fono Mini.

For 2021, a new look for the Planar 1 PLUS. Rega is thrilled to introduce a stunning new matte finish. Every aspect of the Planar 1 PLUS has been meticulously designed to enhance performance. The Planar 1 PLUS uses a custom low-noise 24V synchronous motor to reduce vibration, combined with our handmade RB110 tonearm equipped with our Rega-designed, ultra-low friction bearings. Rega has added our latest drive belt technology, the EBLT belt, delivering even greater speed accuracy and performance. If you’re looking to get back into vinyl and want serious performance that will last you a lifetime, look no further.

Vincent

Simple, effective, and musical turntable. The built-in phono preamp does its job perfectly and allows for quick, hassle-free setup. You get the typical Rega philosophy: rhythm, coherence, naturalness. An excellent entry point into vinyl, with genuine listening pleasure and solid build quality.

Platine simple, efficace et musicale. Le préampli phono intégré fait parfaitement le travail et permet une mise en œuvre rapide sans prise de tête. On retrouve la philosophie Rega : rythme, cohérence, naturel. Une excellente porte d’entrée dans le vinyle, avec un vrai plaisir d’écoute et une fabrication sérieuse.

Superb turntable without gadgets or little lights, everything here is manual - a high-quality magnetic cartridge and the platter rotation is completely independent from the cartridge... checked with a strobe, accurate at 33 1/3 rpm. The RIAA equalizer is already integrated into the turntable base and the signal comes out at ~200 mV (line level) after a very well-made anti-scratch treatment. Here, everything is based on signal quality, perhaps with a view to digitizing vinyl records. Otherwise, the white color is debatable but the plexiglass cover is of good quality.

Superbe platine sans gadgets ni petites lumières, ici tout est manuel une cellule magnétique de grande qualité et la rotation du plateau est entièrement indépendante de la cellule… contrôlée au stroboscope, précis à 33 1/3 tours Le correcteur RIAA est déjà intégré dans le socle de la platine et le signal ressort à ~200 mv (line) après un traitement anti scratch de très bonne facture, ici, tout est basé sur la qualité du signal en vue, peut-être de la numérisation des vinyles. Autrement le blanc est discutable mais le couvercle en plexiglas est de bonne qualité.
Platine à réserver aux amateurs avertis…
