{"product_id":"regaplanar10gr","title":"Rega Planar 10 Turntable, Black","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Rega Planar 10 is a high-end turntable that combines Rega's skeletal construction with an external DSP power supply and the reference RB3000 tonearm in an extremely light, ultra-rigid plinth. It's supplied without a cartridge – deliberately, so you can tune the system freely to your sonic taste.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhy the Planar 10?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eRega's philosophy has always been the counter-model to the mass-loading school: instead of piling on weight, Rega builds as light and as rigid as possible – energy that isn't absorbed can't be released again as coloration. In the Planar 10, a Tancast 8 core sits between two HPL skins, reinforced by a ceramic upper brace and a phenolic resin lower brace exactly where it matters: between the tonearm base and the main bearing. The external P10 power supply regulates the 24V motor via DSP and allows electronic speed switching. In short: plenty of technology, no drama.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat you hear\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eCalm. The Planar 10 pulls a surprising amount of information out of the groove without ever sounding nervous – timing and dynamics are its signature strengths, and the bass is dry and precise rather than inflated. The diamond-turned ceramic-oxide platter provides the necessary speed stability, and the RB3000 holds the cartridge rock-solid in the groove. The result is a sound that seems bigger than the delicate-looking plinth would suggest.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWho is the Planar 10 for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor anyone who listens to vinyl seriously and wants a turntable for many years to come – ideally paired with an MC cartridge in the Apheta\/Aphelion class. Straight talk: if you only occasionally play a record and value ease of use above everything, a class below will serve you better (and more affordably). And don't underestimate the \"nothing\" that comes as a cartridge: the choice of cartridge audibly shapes the result here – we're happy to advise you on it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eOur verdict\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Planar 10 is Rega's flagship turntable, bringing the house's reference-level genes at a sensible price. A turntable for people who know what they want. At HD Zürisee in Wädenswil we'll put together the right system around it, so the potential isn't wasted on the wrong combination.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTechnical specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDrive: belt drive, 24V synchronous motor, EBLT Reference belt\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTonearm: Rega RB3000 (no cartridge fitted from the factory)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlatter: ceramic oxide, diamond-turned\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlinth: Tancast 8 skeletal plinth with HPL skin, ceramic upper and phenolic resin lower brace (double brace)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePower supply: external P10 PSU, DSP-regulated, electronic speed switching 33⅓\/45\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTurntable dimensions (W×H×D): 420 × 125 × 315 mm (with dust cover)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePower supply dimensions (W×H×D): 218 × 80 × 320 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 4.7 kg (turntable) + 3 kg (power supply)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWarranty: 2 years\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncluded: Planar 10, P10 power supply with connecting cable, removable dust cover, EBLT belt (no cartridge)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDoes the Planar 10 come with a cartridge?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. The Planar 10 ships without a cartridge, so you can choose it freely. MC cartridges in the Rega Apheta 3 or Aphelion 2 class are recommended. On request, we'll fit and align the cartridge for you, ready to go.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDo I need a separate phono preamplifier for the Planar 10?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes. The Planar 10 has no built-in phono stage. You'll need a matching phono preamplifier – for MC cartridges, an MC-capable stage such as the Rega Aura or Aos. We'll help you match turntable, cartridge and phono stage cleanly together.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy is the Planar 10 built so light?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eRega follows the principle \"mass absorbs energy.\" An ultra-lightweight, highly rigid skeletal plinth absorbs less unwanted energy and doesn't release it back as coloration. The result is more precision in timing and bass control than many heavier turntables achieve.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCan I switch electronically between 33 and 45 rpm?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes. The external P10 power supply switches speed electronically between 33⅓ and 45 rpm – you don't need to move the belt by hand. It also allows fine electronic speed adjustment for maximum running stability.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy buy the Rega Planar 10 at HD Zürisee?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause we don't just sell turntables, we set them up. As an authorised Rega dealer, we put together a matching cartridge, phono stage and cabling, fit the cartridge properly, and align it on site.
