A benchmark entry level turntable for every audiophile with a decent record collection. No cumbersome installation required. Needs to be kept on an absolutely flat surface.

Needed a turntable to play my Fathers huge record LP collection and went for the Rega Planar 1. Easy to set up and use and good sound.

I love listening to music, I have a large vinyl collection and I wanted to get back into listening to my music collection. I was concerned that it wouldn’t sound as good as my old turntable and the reviews I read online said it did sound better than the old one they had. I’m so glad I purchased this, the Rega Planar 1 has a beautiful sound to it and the sound quality blows my old turntable out of the water.

I needed a turntable to replace a vintage Sonodyne record player I bought many years ago. I didn’t want to spend too much, so I found this on a good price from hifimart.com. It’s perfect, the price is right. It’s the best deal for a high quality record player I’ve ever seen. I’ve used it for a few weeks now and I’m super pleased with it. I was able to set it up in less than 15 minutes. It’s taken me a while to get used to the amazing sound quality, but I’m very happy with it. I would definitely recommend this. My amp is the Rega Brio and speakers is Denton 85.

very good turntable

The Rega Planar 1 is a great choice for anyone who wants to get into vinyl with a Rega brand turntable. It offers great sound quality, is easy to set up and use, at a reasonable price. Note that this turntable requires that your amp has a phono input. It has a clear, detailed sound with good separation of instruments. Bass is fast and tuneful. Would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a entry level turntable.
