PLANAR 1 PLUS

Turntables

All the features of the award-winning Planar 1 turntable with the addition of a built-in high quality MM phono stage, making this the ultimate ‘Plug and Play’ turntable.

NEW: For 2022 we have introduced a stunning new walnut effect finish which is supplied with a smoked dustcover as standard.

The Ultimate 'Plug and Play' Turntable

We asked ourselves, how do we make the most successful turntable we have ever made sound better, be even easier to use and be more accessible to a wider audience? The answer was simple; our engineers added a custom designed, high quality, moving magnet phono stage based around the multi-award winning What Hi-Fi? 5 Star Fono Mini.

Every single aspect of the Planar 1 PLUS has been meticulously designed to improve performance. The Planar 1 PLUS 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.

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).

"Put this turntable on something other than the same piece of furniture as the speakers and plug it into a decent amplifier and it will reward you with a true indication of the musical glory that is vinyl. You can do better of course but not without almost doubling your spend on turntable, cartridge and phono stage, and really you should save any spare cash for more music. If you don’t want to become a vinyl junkie avoid the P1 Plus, but if you want to hear more of what your favourite artists are trying to communicate beat a path to the dealer’s door and don’t forget your records." - Jason Kennedy

"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. If you're looking for an entry-level turntable to be the first step to greater things with a clear upgrade route, the relatively fixed specification might not appeal, but as a beautifully realised one-stop shop for high-quality analogue playback, it certainly takes some beating." - Ed Selley

Rega Planar 1 Plus Turntable Review - Read More

"Mixing convenience with quality is something that we’ve seen across many categories. It’s hard but not impossible and items as diverse as LG’s WebOS to ATC’s formidable HTS speakers are fine examples of equipment that is easy to live with but makes no significant demands of their owner. The Rega Planar 1 Plus has to be added to this happy group of products. Put simply, setting up a record player does not get more straightforward or hassle free than this. Everything that Rega knows about the business of straightforward vinyl replay is in this turntable.

Once you’ve done so, you get to enjoy an outstanding piece of affordable analogue. The Rega is undoubtedly fairly technically accomplished for a player at this price but more (much more) than this, it makes you want to spend hours listening to it. It might lack a little upgrade stretch (although, this being the case, choose another Rega option) but for the combination of simplicity, build and sonic quality, the Rega is an unquestionable Best Buy." - Ed Selley
