Planar 1 Turntable

If you're buying your first turntable, the Rega Planar 1 is one of the simplest, most user-friendly options on the market. Just slide the balance weight onto the tonearm, remove the stylus guard, and you're ready to spin!

Besides being easy to set up, the Rega Planar 1 comes with a Rega Carbon MM cartridge and a hand assembled RB110 tonearm – nice features for an entry-level model! The Thermoset plinth is gloss laminated and comes in black or white.

You won't have to worry about unwanted interference with this turntable. It's Rega's first entry-level model to feature a 24v, synchronous AC motor with a "low noise" aluminum pulley. At this price point, it's difficult to find a turntable with high-quality components like these.

Here's a rundown of key specs for the Rega Planar 1:

• Tonearm with preset bias force for simple setup
• 24v, low noise, synchronous motor reduces resonance
• "Zero play" bearing that minimizes energy transfer
