An excellent turntable that runs smoothly and quietly. The sound reproduction is excellent, and in this case it was connected to a Rega Brio amplifier and AE speakers. The only comment is the rubber drive belt which, in this instance was rather flimsy and loose, and the felt turntable mat which wouldn't stay in place.So an upgrade to the Rega white belt and carbon fibre mat solved the problem. However these will set you back another forty eight pounds. Worth it yes, but it shouldn't be necessary.....

How marvellous to be entering 2022 with a brand new record player. Forty years on from the arrival of the " compact disc player" who would have imagined it? My old revolver deck had seen much use and the rubber band surrounding the platter had become a little overstretched and fiddly. Otherwise...its in fine condition if you are interested! The Planar (with Ortofon cartridge), is a good value, solidly built, neat looking UK built deck and works well through my Monitor Audion speakers. Records have less shrillness about them than cds and its almost nice to hear the odd crackle or two again! Highly recommended.

Sound is awesome. Fell back in love with vinyl again. Only down side is buying more records. I bought a returned unit and found the cover slightly scuffed but I can live with that for the savings made.

The Rega Planar 1 is the perfect way to re-introduce yourself to the pleasures of vinyl. It is so easy to set up, from box to playing in less than 15 minutes. It comes will the cartridge pre installed, just fit the tone arm balance weight plug in, fit the lid and away you go. It is totally manual to use, from turning on the rotation of the platter, lifting the tone arm, sliding across to the required position on the record, lowering the arm and stylus, sitting back enjoying the music, then lifting it off the record at the end to return the arm to its resting place. This record deck has no unnecessary functions all the attention has been put into its performance. And what performance, I have to admit to being a little nervous, returning to vinyl after 35 years, was it really any good, how would it compare to cd or streaming? To cut to the chase, I did a direct comparison between the three forms of music reproduction, and to my ears the Rega is warmer, not soft, with a fuller sound, more revealing, details came through that were lost in the digital version of tracks. It is a more enjoyable experience, especially against streaming which sounds brittle in comparison. Ok enough, I'm off to listen to more of my old LP's and even ordering some new ones!

I bought this to replace a KAM DJ deck that I bought for my 40th birthday. Lets just say I thought that was good until this arrived. OMG....Blown away just doesn't do it justice. OK so its been 15 yrs ( and i have to iron out something that is scraping annoyingly somewhere ) but so far this has just reinvented my vinyl!!! For the easiest set up in the universe from the box to playing in less than 10 mins and ......... WOW!!! OK so it is abley assisted by a decent amp and speakers but getting that right takes years so to get this final piece of the jigsaw for £249 ..
