The best record player for the general public

With the Planar 1 Plus, Rega has created a turntable that is more successful, better sounding and more accessible to a much larger audience. They've done this by adding a built-in RIAA amplifier based on their award-winning Rega Mini Fono . This means you can connect your turntable to anything, so you can now hear your music completely without having to connect an external RIAA amplifier. The built-in RIAA amplifier also means that you get it at a cheaper price than by buying Rega's Planar 1 and Mino Fono as separate products.

Could it be much better, easier and cheaper? We would venture to say that it cannot, and that is almost what characterizes Rega. They are the best for the price. With the Planar 1 Plus, this is because it also has Rega's good-sounding Carbon pickup, a precise and stable drive belt, and a tone arm with ultra-low friction bearings. This ensures that the tonearm has a better movement through the vinyl sheet, which the drive belt spins at a much better and precise speed. Beneath the rigid and light construction, effective isolation feet are mounted, which ensure that the vibrations do not reach the record player and destroy the good sound. That's why the Planar 1 Plus has such award-winning sound.
