This current Rega Planar is the most successful turntable that Rega has ever made......a big call considering Rega has been making outstanding turntables since 1973. Each tonearm is meticulously hand assembled using custom Rega made tools and torque settings to guarantee optimum performance and perfect tracking and maximises the amount of information the cartridge can extract from the record surface. This Rega has body in its sound and a real analogue warmth. The combination of accuracy and a skill for knitting together the different strands is displayed with expertise by the Rega Planar. Few turntables in this price category can render a record so faithfully as this Planar does.This is about toe-tapping musicality and transparency.
The Rega planar incorporates the award winning Fono-Mini phono preamplifier.The Rega does a wonderful job at a critical stage of delivering the atmospheric sound of vinyl.There's no end of punch with the Fono Mini and great tonal balance to boot as well as crisp timing. Whatever the music you will find yourself drawn in and enjoying the presentation.This means that the Planar 1 in its Plus model is now able to connect to any audio playback device with an auxiliary input without the need for an outboard phono preamplifier.
