Apart from the new look, nothing has changed on the Planar 1 – which received a major update in 2021. Equipped with Rega's own RB 110 tonearm, a pre-mounted Rega Carbon MM cartridge, and optimized for easy "plug and play" operation, Rega's entry-level turntable also wants to offer a great deal with the new walnut finish.
The walnut variant is available now* and costs €50* more than its black and white siblings, meaning that a Planar 1 "Walnut" will cost about €450*.
