Rega Planet
Vintage & classic turntables · 1973–1977 Discontinued
$300–$600 typical US used price
Rega's first turntable, founded on Roy Gandy's belief in simple rigid engineering, with an unmistakable platter of three spoke-mounted discs. It set the direction for the Planar series that followed.
The rare and collectable genesis of Rega, instantly recognisable by its three-disc platter.
Good to know
- No built-in phono stage — use an amplifier with a phono input or add a separate phono preamplifier.
- This is a used-market purchase. Ask about condition, originality and service history, especially the belt, bearing and stylus.
