Rega RP1 Turntable

Rega are a specialist hifi manufacturer based in Essex, UK and are renowned for developing and constructing some of the most highly regarded turntables (as well as cartridges and tonearms), electronics and loudspeakers available on the hifi market today. Rega were founded in 1973, and have honed their craft over many years of being a leading brand in every category they put a product to. 

The RP1 is Rega's multi award winning entry level turntable, designed and engineered to achieve the best possible performance while retaining a comfortable and accessible price-point. The turntable features an elegant and minimalist design aesthetic, housing exceptionally high quality materials and components to offer an unrivalled sound for the money. The RP1 is ready to play from the box, without any major set-up required. 

The RP1 features a manual speed-change, which aids to remove speed inconsistencies and reduce wear of the drive belt, as opposed to an automatic mechanism. This unit makes use of the company's RB101 tonearm, a precision main bearing, an anti-resonant phenolic resin platter and an extraordinarily high quality, low vibration motor. These technological elements can usually be found in turntables costing double/triple the price of the RP1.
