{"product_id":"rega-planar-1-plus-walnuss","title":"Rega Planar 1 Plus Turntable, Walnut","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Rega Planar 1 Plus is a manual belt-drive turntable that comes fully ready to play right out of the factory – with a hand-built RB110 tonearm, a pre-fitted Rega Carbon cartridge and, the real highlight, a built-in MM phono stage. That means: you can connect it directly to any line or aux input – to active speakers, to a soundbar, to an amplifier without a phono input. Unbox, connect, drop the needle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy the Planar 1 Plus?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt takes everything that makes the Planar 1 so popular – the hand-built RB110 tonearm with play-free precision bearings, the 23 mm phenolic platter, the quiet 24-volt motor, all set at the factory – and builds the phono stage right into the housing. A switch lets you toggle between phono and line. That saves you an extra device and the cable clutter behind it, while keeping the option to run a higher-quality external phono stage later.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat you'll hear\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe typical Rega drive: timing, momentum and sheer enjoyment. Bass is dry and on point, vocals stand tangibly in the room, and the built-in phono stage works cleanly and with low noise. You won't hear \"the compromise of an all-in-one solution\" – you'll hear an honest, lively turntable that just gets going. Honestly: there's barely an easier way into serious vinyl listening.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is the Planar 1 Plus for? (and who it isn't – straight talk)\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIdeal for anyone whose amplifier or active speakers have no phono input – or who simply doesn't want an extra device. Straight talk: if you already own a good amplifier with a phono stage, with the Plus you're paying for something you already have – then take the regular Planar 1 and put the difference toward a better cartridge. If you expect full automation or Bluetooth, this isn't the right choice either.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eOur verdict\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Planar 1 Plus is the simplest route to genuine vinyl sound when there's no phono input waiting at the other end. Ready to play, honestly matched, with a clean phono stage on board – and the warm walnut look makes a real visual statement too. At HD Zürisee in Wädenswil, the turntable we recommend when the system has \"only\" a free line input.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical data\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDrive: belt drive with 24 V synchronous motor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTonearm: hand-built Rega RB110, factory set\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCartridge: Rega Carbon (MM), factory-fitted\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePhono stage: built-in MM phono stage, switchable phono\/line\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlatter: 23 mm phenolic platter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDrive belt: EBLT\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpeeds: 33⅓ \/ 45 rpm (manual belt change)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConnection: fixed RCA cable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinish: walnut\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDimensions (W × H × D, lid closed): 447 × 117 × 360 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 4.2 kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScope of delivery: turntable with pre-fitted RB110 tonearm and factory-fitted Rega Carbon cartridge, clear dust cover, plug-in power supply\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's the difference between the Planar 1 and the Planar 1 Plus?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe only difference is the built-in MM phono stage. The Planar 1 Plus connects directly to a line or aux input, while the regular Planar 1 needs a phono input on the amplifier or an external phono stage. Tonearm, cartridge and turntable are identical on both.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes the Planar 1 Plus work with active speakers or a soundbar?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, that's exactly what it's designed for. The integrated phono stage outputs a line-level signal that you can feed directly into active speakers, soundbars or any line input – a separate phono preamp isn't needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I turn off the built-in phono stage?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. A switch toggles between phono and line. That lets you use a higher-quality external phono stage later without replacing the turntable – just set it to phono and equalize externally.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes the Planar 1 Plus come with a cartridge?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The Rega Carbon (MM) is fitted and set at the factory. Tracking force and anti-skate are aligned – set up, connect, play.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy buy the Rega Planar 1 Plus at HD Zürisee?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause we've lived and breathed vinyl for decades and know which combination brings lasting enjoyment in everyday use.
