Rega Planar 1 Turntable - Ex Display

This Rega Planar 1 Turntable has been on display in our Hereford store for the past 18 months and is now for sale to make space for the new Matt Finish models. 

The turntable is in the Gloss Black finish and is in very good condition, with no large marks or blemishes to the chassis, tonearm, or platter. Slight hairline marks may be visible upon close inspection, as is to be expected with a high gloss Black finish.

The turntable will come with all original accessories as a new product would, including the Carbon Cartridge (With less than 50 hours of use), Drive Belt, Power Supply, and all packaging. We will also include a brand new clear acrylic lid with the turntable. As with all Rega products, this turntable is covered by Rega's lifetime warranty against manufacturer defects.

The state-of-the-art Planar 1 from Rega is the company's most user-friendly deck so far, with a preset bias force on the newly developed RB110 tonearm - the Planar 1 is essentially ready from the box. All that's required is for the balance weight to be pushed onto the back of the tonearm as far as it will go, remove the stylus guard, and then hear your music as it as intended to be heard.

 - Simple Plug and Play design, set-up in less than thirty seconds. - 

- UK Hand-assembled RB110 tonearm. -

- Low vibration motor. -

- Phenolic resin, flywheel effect platter. -

Every element of the Planar 1 has been carefully and vigorously improved upon earlier designs. The Planar 1 now runs a 24v, low-noise, synchronous motor. This drastically reduces any potential vibration that may otherwise negatively affect the sound of your record. The turntable comes supplied with the RB110 tonearm as standard. This arm uses Rega's exclusive zero-bearings design Including an automatic bias adjustment negating the need for the user to set bias, making this the most ‘Plug & Play’ turntable that Rega has ever manufactured. New ergonomically, re-designed and stiffer headshell for improved usability and appearance

This is the perfect jumping-on point for anyone who is looking to get into Vinyl playback for the first time.

Comes supplied with Rega's clear lid as standard

Please note, turntables such as the Rega Planar 1 require a phono stage to work and will produce no sound without one.
Many amplifiers have built-in phono stages, such as the Rega io or Brio.
They can often be identified by the RCA input marked 'phono' on the rear of the amplifier.
If being used with active (powered) speakers or with an amplifier without an integrated phono stage, a separate phono stage such as the Rega Fono A2D or Fono MM will be required.
