We are delighted to announce the replacement for the RP1, the new Planar 1.
Our designers have put a twist on virtually every detail of our best-selling turntable to bring you the best entry-level product we’ve ever produced, while keeping the price at a very competitive level.
Product Details
Arm
Brand new RB110 arm, with Rega’s new custom design of the very low friction bearing assembly (patent pending).
