Rega Planar 1 Turntable, bakelite meets 21st century
When they build these record players in the factory in Southend in the U.K there is a man whose sole job is to assemble the tonearm bearing and he sets the tolerance on the tonearm to below one Micron. No other manufacturer engineers their budget record players so extremely by hand ... or comes even close to the Rega engineering tolerances at this price level.
This is simply the best budget turntable ... ever ... and they have made it look and feel so good.
Rega Planar 1 Turntable, bakelite meets 21st century
Rega suspect that they actually lose money on every Planar 1 that they make. But these are people who are less of a rationalist manufacturing concern and are actually closer to a cult.
They are on a mission and when you visit the factory you can feel it in the air. The people who set the bearings treat each RB110 Planar 1 tonearm with the same precision and skill as they do the ones from turntables costing ten times as much.
Every single aspect of the Planar 1 has been meticulously designed to improve performance. For the first time the Planar 1 is now running a 24v, low noise, synchronous motor to reduce vibration transfer combined with the brand new RB110 tonearm fitted with Rega's bespoke zero play bearings. Only sharing the drive belt, sub platter and dust cover from the outgoing RP1.
If you are looking to get back into vinyl and want serious performance that will last you a lifetime, then look no further.
