Great value for the price

Ease of setup and use

Built-in preamp for convenience

Clear sound quality

Highly regarded RB303 tonearm

Not ideal for playing heavier records

Slight motor noise

Lack of adjustable antiscating

Verdict

The Rega Planar 1 Plus is a highly recommended turntable for its ease of setup and use, built-in preamp, and clear sound quality. Some reviewers have noted issues with playing heavier records and motor noise, but overall the turntable is praised for its value and performance. The RB303 tonearm is also highly regarded. However, some reviewers have mentioned the lack of adjustable antiscating and suggest looking into a used Rega RP1 for better cartridge options. Overall, the Rega Planar 1 Plus is a solid choice for those looking for a plug-and-play turntable with good sound quality.

It includes a Sonos Five, which has *line-in*. That means that I'm looking for a turntable that ideally has a phono preamp built-in, to simplify the setup. And that I'm not looking for something very high-end either. After a lot of reading reviews, I settled on buying a **Rega Planar 1 Plus.

Doesn’t play heavy records

I play mostly 180 gram records. Heavier than a regular vinyl record but it makes the motor vary in speed and affects the sound to the point where it isn’t listenable. I asked about it and there is no apparent fix or adjustment. It sits on my shelf unusable. A waste of $600. I bought an older vintage...

simple but nice turntable recommendations?

You could go all in and get a Rega Planar 1 Plus for example, but I wouldn't recommend it. You'd be spending much more to avoid having a tiny extra box in your system.

Amazing table. Good price.

The motor does emit a slight noise that can only be heard when a record isn't playing. Otherwise this turn table is fantastic. It looks and sounds great.

It is very erratic and as much as I try to dial it in, I cant get it to stay stable. This is probably an easy fix but again, I am not very knowledgable. The turntable is a little beat up as well. The dust cover has a small crack and one of the clips on the back is broken so the cover wont stay open on its own.

Stupid easy setup!

Took all of 2 minutes to set up and plug in. Sound is clear as crystal and surprising for the price! Would recommend!!!
