Rega Planar 1 Plus Turntable - B Grade

Rega Planar 1 Plus

The new Rega P1 Plus is one of the first-ever Rega turntables to include an integrated moving magnet phono stage, using the same Plinth, Platter, Tone Arm (The RB110) and the same Carbon Cartridge as the Planar 1, we already know that this turntable is going to be a huge hit as the Planar 1 is so successful.

The Built-in phono stage in the P1 Plus is a high-specification pre-amplifier. This amp is designed to amplify the signal from a moving magnet cartridge to a suitable level for all line-level inputs of an appropriate system or an audio amplifier. What this allows is a simple connection to a wide variety of products that use a standard twin phono-to-phono lead (which is supplied) or a 3.5mm plug (which is not supplied).
