Rega Planar 1 turntable
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.....Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

A record 2022
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.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Excellent. Sounds great, Changing speed a bit fiddly.
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.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Perfect way to re-introduce yourself to vinyl record Set!
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!Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Out of this world ( needs playing on it too!!! Europe BTW )
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 ..Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

The best turntable you can buy at £250
A great sounding turntable for the price. If you want to listen to your old vinyl collection or start a new one and your budget is around £250-£300 then this is where you spend your money. Partnered with a decent amp and speakers, this turntable produces a punchy, uncoloured and detailed sound. Can easily be upgraded too. A real audio delight.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Classic British turntable
Rega turntable design has changed little in over 40 years, so buying an original is not a problem as you can make upgrades on some of the original parts, having said that even the original ones still sound great, upgrades can improve the sound but are not necessary. The secret is when buying a vintage Rega turntable is make sure it’s been well looked after view as many images as possible to determine condition. The only immediate upgrade to make would be to replace the belt that drives the platter and a new cartridge plus clean out the old oil in the spindle with alcohol Solution and replace with a few drops of new turntable oil. Enjoy the vinyl again.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Great turntable
Brilliant turntable, very easy to use. Changing speed is as easy as lifting the plate up and moving the band, and the sound quality is phenomenal. It had great pro reviews, and I can see why.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Well worth it.
This produces a beautiful sound. I’ve hooked it to some lower to mid range hifi separates and it produces a beautifully warm and atmospheric sound. It’s upgradable as well if I want to try that but at the moment it is more than enjoyable enough As for the ‘slight seconds’ I can’t see any mrs or reason why it is a second.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Best Vinyl player Ive had
Finally purchased my RP1. Was a bit sceptical after reading all the positive reviews. Setup in less than 1 min. And I'm blown away by the sound. Old LPs that has been stored in the shed sound like new! Highly recommend.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
