Rega

Favourite singles, back on the platterMany 45 rpm singles were issued with a large centre hole or have lost their centre insert. The Rega 45 RPM Adaptor sits on the turntable spindle and the record fits over it, so it is properly centred.Simple to useNo tools or adjustments: place it on the spindle, add the record, select 45 rpm and play. Its metal construction gives a secure fit and long life.

The amplifier that brings your music to lifeThe Rega Elex MK4 is a high-performance integrated amplifier designed for accurate, natural sound. It is based on the award-winning class A/B power circuit of earlier Rega designs and delivers 72 W per channel into 8 Ω and 90 W into 6 Ω, driving demanding loudspeakers with ease. A Rega DAC with two digital inputs is added on the rear panel, with a headphone output on the front.A new case that doubles as a heatsinkThe MK4 arrives in a new case that brings it in line visually with the rest of the Rega range. The entire enclosure acts as a heatsink, improving heat dissipation and the thermal stability of the circuit over long listening sessions. Measuring 43.2 x 8.2 x 34 cm, it occupies the usual space of a full-width amplifier.Flexibility for any systemFour line inputs, MM phono, optical and coaxial digital inputs, a pre-amp output and a record output allow the Elex MK4 to fit almost any system and to be upgraded later with an external power amplifier. It includes thermal, short-circuit and DC protection, while key components such as high-quality relays, polypropylene capacitors and Sanken output transistors are selected for sound quality.

Rega sound in its most accessible formThe Rega io is the smallest integrated amplifier from the British manufacturer and the most direct way into a genuine Rega system. Hand-built in England, it shares its power stage and phono stage with the award-winning Brio, delivering 30 W per channel into 8 Ω from a chassis just 18 cm wide. It offers two line inputs, a built-in MM phono stage and a dedicated front-panel headphone output, and comes with Rega's new mini remote control.Built for a simple, musical systemThe io is aimed at listeners who want clean, lively sound without unnecessary features. It pairs naturally with the Planar 1, Planar 1 Plus, Planar 2 and Planar 3 turntables and the Kyte bookshelf speakers, and comfortably drives small standmount speakers or a compact pair of floorstanders. Speakers connect via screw terminals that also accept banana plugs.Small footprint, serious constructionMeasuring 18 x 6.8 x 29 cm and weighing 2.9 kg, the io fits easily on a shelf, desk or TV unit. Its new chassis was designed specifically for it, while a linear power supply with a toroidal transformer keeps performance stable. Like every Rega amplifier, it benefits from a short warm-up period for the bias current to settle and deliver its best.

No compromise, for faithful reproductionThe Rega Aethos is an integrated amplifier without compromise, with one goal: faithful reproduction of music. Hand-built in England in a new custom case, it follows a dual mono architecture and delivers 125 W per channel into 8 Ω and 156 W into 6 Ω, using four 160 W Sanken output transistors per channel. It is a purely analogue amplifier, for systems where every link in the chain matters.The evolution of the Elex-R and Elicit-RThe Aethos builds on the experience of the award-winning Elex-R and Elicit-R but raises the bar at every point: a discrete class A FET line stage, polypropylene capacitors in the signal path, Rega K-Power capacitors and a regulated power amplifier supply. Rega invested heavily in circuit design and construction, using components of the highest specification.Recognised by the international pressSince its launch, the Aethos has won successive What Hi-Fi? awards as the best stereo amplifier in its class (2020 to 2024), a Hi-Fi Choice group test win (2024) and a Stereo+ Product of the Year award. It is the ideal partner for Rega's Planar 10 turntable and the Isis and Valve Isis CD players.

The most accessible way into the Rega soundThe Fono Mini A2D MK2 is Rega's smallest phono stage and one of the company's most popular products. Made in England, it accepts any moving magnet (MM) cartridge, from the Rega Carbon fitted to the Planar 1 and Planar 2 up to the cartridges of the Nd series. Its circuit is derived from the larger Fono MM, which is why it delivers a sound that clearly outperforms its size and price point.For systems without a phono inputMany modern amplifiers, active speakers and streaming systems no longer include a phono input. The Fono Mini A2D MK2 solves this in the simplest possible way: connect the turntable to its input and its output to any line-level input. At just 10.2 cm wide it sits next to the turntable or behind the amplifier, while 24 V AC power comes from an external supply.Warranty and supportLike all Rega electronics, it is covered by the manufacturer's Lifetime Limited Warranty against confirmed manufacturing defects, under the terms that apply in the country of purchase.

Rega's dedicated MM phono stageThe Fono MM MK5 is Rega's dedicated phono stage for moving magnet (MM) cartridges and is made in England. It is designed to get the very best from any MM cartridge, from the Carbon to the cartridges of the Nd series, and is the natural partner for the Planar 1 Plus, Planar 2, Planar 3, Planar 6 and Planar 8 turntables. It follows a line of phono stages that have won successive What Hi-Fi? Awards since 2017, most recently Best Phono Stage under £400 for 2026.Simple connection, clean operationThere are no confusing switches or loading settings: the Fono MM MK5 loads the cartridge with the established value of 47 kΩ and 100 pF and is ready to play as soon as it is connected. It is powered by an external 24 V AC supply, keeping the transformer well away from the sensitive gain circuitry.WarrantyIt is covered by Rega's Lifetime Limited Warranty against confirmed manufacturing defects, under the terms of the country of purchase.

The Ania with a stylus from the AphetaThe Rega Ania Pro is a moving coil cartridge that keeps the rigid body and hand-wound generator of the Ania but upgrades the most critical detail: the stylus. Here Rega uses a nude diamond with a Vital profile, the stylus philosophy inherited from the Apheta range, to recover as much information from the groove as possible. It is easy to recognise by its red protective cover.Sound characterRega sums up its sound in three phrases: tight bass, warm mids and accurate highs. The result is balanced and detailed, with wide dynamic range, a spacious soundstage and natural tonal balance. Reviewers at Hi-Fi Choice and The Ear described it as a clear step up from the Ania, especially on Rega turntables.Which turntables it is made forRega recommends the Ania Pro as the ideal cartridge for the Planar 6 and Planar 8, and offers versions of both turntables with the cartridge factory-fitted. It also suits the Planar 3 and any Rega tonearm with three-point fixing, such as the RB330 and RB880. It needs a phono stage with an MC input.

Where tonearm design reaches its limitsThe Rega RB3000 is a reference tonearm with new features that, according to Rega, push the boundaries of tonearm design. Every unit is built entirely by hand by skilled technicians. The improved bearings are selected one by one to match their spindle on both inside and outside diameter, a method that recovers more detail from the record surface.Its place in the rangeThe RB3000 is the tonearm supplied with the Planar 10, Rega's reference turntable, and its new vertical bearing assembly was designed specifically for it. As an upgrade, it fits any turntable with a Rega-type mounting hole and is the final step before the RB Titanium.Recommended cartridgesRega recommends the RB3000 with its moving coil cartridges: the Aphelion 2, Apheta 3, Ania Pro and Ania. With the Aphelion 2 and the Aura MC phono stage it forms the company's reference replay system. The cartridge is sold separately.

Refining an iconic designThe Rega RB880 was designed with 3D CAD and CAM tools and brings together almost 40 years of Rega tonearm experience. It has a new aluminium vertical bearing housing and a redesigned stainless steel sleeve and vertical bearing shaft, for greater mounting stability and more rigidity.Its place in the rangeThe RB880 is the tonearm fitted to the Planar 8 and the Planar 6 RS. It sits between the RB330 and the hand-built RB3000, offering much of the technology of the more expensive arms at a more accessible level. As an upgrade, it suits any turntable with a Rega-type mounting hole.Working with cartridgesWith an effective mass of 11 g and hand-selected bearings, the RB880 brings out the best in high-resolution cartridges such as the Ania Pro, Apheta 3 and Nd9. The cartridge is sold separately.

The evolution of a legendThe Rega RB330 was designed with 3D CAD/CAM and draws on more than 35 years of Rega tonearm experience. The latest version improves ergonomics, usability and sound: a new bias assembly, a stiffer vertical bearing housing, an integrated arm clip, a spring housing with clearer markings, a new low-capacitance phono cable and a redesigned 100 g counterweight.Where you'll find itThe RB330 is the tonearm fitted to Rega's Planar 3 and Planar 6. As an upgrade it suits turntables with a Rega-type mounting hole and is one of the most worthwhile steps for older models from the company. It is a right-handed 9-inch arm with a cueing lever and adjustable counterweight.Working with cartridgesWith an effective mass of 11 g, the RB330 works superbly with the Nd series MM cartridges and with the Ania, Ania Pro and Apheta 3 MC cartridges. Paired with a phono stage such as the Fono Mini A2D, it completes a system with a clean, lively presentation. The cartridge is sold separately.

For the love of 78 rpm recordsThe Planar 78 is Rega's turntable for anyone who collects and listens to 78 rpm records. Belt driven and made in England, it combines the company's latest 24 V motor technology with the hand-assembled RB220 precision tonearm and the advanced EBLT drive belt. The plinth comes in a discreet Matt Black finish.Minimalist design with a purposeRega designed the Planar 78 with a single mission: accurate playback of 78 rpm records. It deliberately left out anything that does not serve that goal, so that every part of the budget goes into components that genuinely affect the sound. Historic recordings released only in this format thus gain a source worthy of their value, with a stability and clarity that multi-speed turntables rarely offer.What you need to get startedThe turntable is sold without a cartridge. Rega recommends the RB78 mono cartridge, designed specifically for the wide groove of 78 rpm records and available separately. You will also need an amplifier with a phono input or an external phono stage, such as the Rega Fono MM or Fono Mini A2D.

Rega's reference phono stageThe Aura MC is Rega's flagship phono stage. It is a fully adjustable, fully balanced three-stage design dedicated exclusively to moving coil (MC) cartridges and made in England. It was developed without compromise, with the aim of recovering all the information held in a record groove, and is the natural partner for the Planar 10, the Naia and the flagship Aphelion 2 cartridge.Nothing superfluousRega deliberately added no functions that do not contribute to the sound, so the signal path is never burdened. The large, purpose-designed enclosure, weighing 13 kg, houses a regulated power supply with a large toroidal transformer and offers both unbalanced (RCA) and balanced (XLR) outputs.Reviews and warrantyThe Aura MC has earned five stars from What Hi-Fi? and The Ear, an Editor's Choice from Hi-Fi Choice and a Best Buy from AVForums. Jason Kennedy described it as a clearly top-notch phono preamplifier. It is covered by Rega's Lifetime Limited Warranty against confirmed manufacturing defects.

Fifteen years of developmentRega has refined its moving coil cartridges for more than fifteen years, using undamped micro-mass generators and jointless bodies. The Apheta 2 was a great success and the Apheta 3 builds on it, borrowing from the flagship Aphelion 2 the nude Fine Line diamond stylus mounted at 90 degrees. The aim is to recover even more detail from the groove.Sound characterThe Apheta 3 delivers clear, transparent highs, exceptional resolution, rich low frequencies and very good channel separation. The sound is musical and natural, with correct rendering of instrumental timbre and fast transient response. It is a cartridge that reveals what is really on a good pressing, without adding brightness or weight.The ideal partnerRega calls it the ideal partner for the Planar 8 and Planar 10, and through retailers it is also available factory-fitted as a package at a more favourable price. It also suits the Planar 6 and the RB330 and RB880 tonearms, while Rega's Aura MC phono stage is its natural companion. It needs an MC phono stage.

Fourth generation, top of the rangeThe Rega Aphelion 2 is the fourth generation of the British company's hand-built moving coil cartridges and its reference model. It builds on the original Aphelion and the Apheta 3, but Rega's engineers re-examined and refined every individual element. Rega itself describes it as the best-performing cartridge it has made to date.Sound characterIts presentation is musical and natural, with rich timbres, transparency and balance. The frequency ranges knit together without exaggeration, detail is exceptional and bass is well articulated and defined, within a natural, convincing soundstage. Jason Kennedy of The Ear described it as a revelation, precisely because it shows what records really sound like.For reference systemsThe Aphelion 2 was designed for Rega's reference turntables, such as the Planar 10 and the Naia, and for the RB3000 tonearm. Rega recommends the Aura MC phono stage and the Aethos and Osiris amplifiers as partners. It is available to special order.

The MC cartridge that makes the upgrade affordableThe Rega Ania is the moving coil (MC) cartridge with which the British company brought the know-how of the Apheta and Aphelion to a far more accessible level. It uses the same hand-wound micro coil as the rest of Rega's MC range, an elliptical diamond stylus and an aluminium cantilever. For anyone already running a Rega turntable with a moving magnet cartridge, it is the most logical next step towards more detail, speed and clarity.Sound characterThe Ania delivers lively dynamics and natural tonality, with good resolution of the small details hidden in the groove. Bass is tight and controlled, the midrange has body and the treble stays clean without harshness. It rewards both focused listening and everyday use, without needing an exotic system to show what it can do.Ideal pairingsRega recommends the Ania for the Planar 3 and Planar 6, with which it shares the philosophy of light, rigid construction. It fits equally well on any Rega tonearm with three-point fixing (RB330, RB880, RB3000). As with every true MC cartridge its output is low, so it needs a phono stage with an MC input and enough gain, such as the Rega Fono MC.

A 1975 legend, rewrittenThe Planar 2 continues the story of the turntable of the same name that Rega introduced in 1975. Today's version was developed over around two years alongside the Planar 3 and borrows many of its engineering improvements: the RB220 tonearm, a new low-noise 24 V motor, a high-gloss acrylic laminated plinth and a redesigned main bearing. Rega's goal was to extract as much detail as possible from the groove. This version comes in a White Gloss finish with a clear dust cover.Ready to play, with room to growThe Planar 2 is supplied with the Rega Carbon cartridge factory fitted, making it practically plug & play. At the same time, the RB220 tonearm with its adjustable bias leaves the door open to a cartridge upgrade later on. The model has collected awards and glowing reviews from What Hi-Fi?, Hi-Fi Choice, Hi-Fi News and Sound Matters.What you need to get startedA dust cover, felt mat and multilingual quick start guide are included. The Planar 2 needs an amplifier with an MM phono input or an external phono stage, such as the Rega Fono Mini A2D.

Two phono stages in oneThe Aria MK3 is Rega's phono stage for listeners who want to use both moving magnet (MM) and moving coil (MC) cartridges. It features two completely separate stages, one for MM and one fully adjustable for MC, each with its own input and its own circuit designed specifically for the type of cartridge it serves. It is housed in a half-width aluminium enclosure.Pure analogueThe Aria MK3 is a purely analogue system with no digital control circuitry. Rega deliberately avoided any unnecessary function that would burden the signal path, keeping only what serves the music. Stereonet described it as musical, engaging and tonally smooth, with an awful lot to like for the money.Partnerships and warrantyRega recommends it with the Ania, Ania Pro, Apheta 3 and Aphelion 2 cartridges, the Planar 6, Planar 8 and Planar 10 turntables and the Aethos amplifier. It is covered by Rega's Lifetime Limited Warranty against confirmed manufacturing defects.

An affordable NaiadThe Planar 8 is not simply an evolution of the RP8. Rega designed it from scratch to capture the essence of the Naiad, its experimental reference turntable, in a far more accessible class. The result is a skeletal, ultra-light turntable with the RB880 tonearm and the Neo PSU MK2 power supply, supplied without a cartridge, in matt Polaris grey. The outer frame of the RP8 has been replaced by a single-piece removable dust cover, reducing mass even further. It is hand-built in England.Triple-layer platter and main bearingThe platter consists of three layers of glass of different thicknesses, bonded under pressure. Most of its mass sits at the rim for a strong flywheel effect, while the lighter centre reduces load on the bearing. The platter rests on a sub-platter machined from a single piece of aluminium, with a hardened steel spindle running in a brass housing.Choosing a cartridgeWithout a factory-fitted cartridge, the Planar 8 can be paired with the Rega Nd7 and Nd9 (MM) or the Ania Pro, Apheta 3 and Aphelion 2 (MC). For moving coil cartridges Rega recommends phono stages such as the Aura MC. Among other awards, the Planar 8 has been named What Hi-Fi? Best Turntable Over £2000 (2019) and Hi-Fi Choice Group Test Winner (2023).

For 78 rpm collectionsThe Rega RB78 is a hand-built mono moving magnet (MM) cartridge in a custom body that Rega designed specifically for playing 78 rpm records. It is a general-purpose cartridge for anyone who wants to hear historic shellac recordings properly and with the right tools, from jazz and blues to classical music and early folk recordings.Why a dedicated cartridge is needed78 rpm records are mono and are cut with a much wider groove than microgroove vinyl records. An ordinary stereo stylus sits too low in that groove and reads noise instead of music. The RB78 uses a stylus with a 78 profile and a mono generator, so that it rests on the right parts of the groove wall.Its natural partnerRega makes the Planar 78, a single-speed turntable dedicated to 78 rpm, and the RB78 is the dedicated cartridge it recommends for it; it is sold separately. Thanks to standard two-screw fixing, it can also be fitted to another turntable or to a second tonearm on a deck that supports 78 rpm.

The ultimate plug & play turntableThe Planar 1 Plus is Rega's award-winning Planar 1 with a built-in phono stage for moving magnet cartridges. Hand built in England, belt driven and playing 33⅓ and 45 rpm records, it comes with a pre-set RB110 tonearm and a factory-fitted Carbon cartridge, and connects straight to any line-level input. This version comes in a Matt White finish.For anyone returning to vinylRega added the phono stage to its most successful turntable to make good vinyl sound accessible to any system: a modern amplifier without a phono input, active speakers or a compact music system. The motor, tonearm, belt and plinth have all been redesigned for better performance, making the Planar 1 Plus a choice built to last for years. Among its accolades are a five-star review from What Hi-Fi? and Hi-Fi Choice's Group Test Winner title (2024).In the boxSupplied are the platter, mat, counterweight, dust cover, a twin RCA lead and the PS1 power supply, with the Carbon cartridge already fitted and protected by a stylus guard. Nothing else is needed apart from an amplifier or a pair of active speakers.

The iconic Planar 3The Planar 3 is the successor to the award-winning RP3 and perhaps Rega's most recognisable turntable. It was designed over two years by a team led by company founder Roy Gandy and is essentially an all-new turntable: only two components were carried over from the previous model. What Hi-Fi? named it Product of the Year every year from 2016 to 2021 and again in 2024. This version comes in a White Gloss finish.No cartridge, for a free choiceIn Greece the Planar 3 is supplied without a cartridge, so it can be paired with the one that best suits your system and taste: from Rega's Nd3, Nd5 and Nd7 MM models to the Ania and Ania Pro MC cartridges, or those of other makers. For anyone who prefers a ready-to-play solution, a Planar 3 version with a factory-fitted Elys 2 cartridge is also available.Upgradeable over the yearsThe Planar 3 is ready for the Rega Neo PSU MK2 power supply, which adds electronic speed change and even better stability. A clear dust cover, felt mat and quick start guide are included. It requires an amplifier with a phono input or an external phono stage.

RP8 and RP10 technology in a more accessible formThe Planar 6 succeeds the award-winning RP6 and is Rega's first turntable with a Tancast 8 foam core plinth. It takes the ideas behind the RP8 and RP10, namely an ultra-light yet rigid base, a matched motor and a separate power supply, and brings them to a price class where, according to Rega, its performance exceeds its cost. This version comes in matt Polaris grey with high-gloss black edge trim, together with the RB330 tonearm and the Neo PSU MK2 power supply, without a cartridge. It is hand-built in England.Platter, sub-platter and feetThe platter consists of two layers of float glass, one smoked and one clear, bonded under pressure, as on the RP8. It sits on a sub-platter machined from a single piece of aluminium and carefully balanced. A wool felt mat is included; it is anti-static and does not stick to records. The feet are aluminium with an elastomer insert to isolate the turntable from the surface it stands on.Cartridge choice and systemWithout a factory-fitted cartridge, the Planar 6 leaves the choice to you: it pairs ideally with the Rega Nd5, Nd7 and Nd9 (MM) or the Ania, Ania Pro and Apheta 3 (MC). Depending on the cartridge you will need an MM or MC phono stage, such as the Rega Fono MM MK5 and Fono MC MK4, or an amplifier with the matching input.

The most effective isolationThe Rega Wall Bracket mounts the turntable on the wall, away from floor and loudspeaker vibration. The new generation, in a black finish, is made from 3 mm laser-cut, folded aluminium, 1.2 kg lighter and stiffer than the previous model.CompatibilityIt is designed for Planar 1, Planar 2, Planar 3, Planar 6 and many older Regas. Simple screw-fit adaptors are available for earlier RP8 and RP10 models. It does not suit the current Planar 8 and Planar 10, for which Rega offers a separate, smaller bracket.

The heart of modern Regas, in an older turntableThe 24V Motor Upgrade Kit brings the low-noise, low-vibration motor of Rega’s award-winning 24V turntables to older models without this technology. It is one of the most worthwhile upgrades for a P1, P2, P3 or Planet.InstallationFitting is fairly straightforward, but for best performance Rega recommends it is done by an authorised dealer. Rega provides fitting instructions as a PDF.

An upgrade for the RP8 and RP10Rega RP8/RP10 Rigid Foot Mounts are solid aluminium feet that replace the factory inner plinth feet of the RP8 and RP10. They fit by a simple screw thread and allow the turntable to be fully levelled.Compatibility noteThey fit only the previous-generation RP8 and RP10. They do not fit the current Planar 8 and Planar 10. For wall mounting, they pair with the Wall Bracket Adaptors and their rubber pads.

A bridge between two generationsRega Wall Bracket Adaptors allow the RP6, RP8 and RP10 to fit directly to Rega’s new (2016) wall bracket. Previous-generation turntables can therefore enjoy the vibration isolation that wall mounting provides.ConstructionThey are machined from aluminium for an exact fit and secure support. Optional rubber pads are supplied for extra grip, especially with the RP8/RP10 Rigid Foot Mount Kit.

Rega's flagship CD playerThe Rega Isis is Rega's reference CD player, built to the highest achievable standard inside and out. It uses Rega's own CD technology and is housed in a CNC-machined anodised aluminium case, with a total weight of 19 kg. The company spent five years designing it, drawing on all its experience in building specialist hi-fi components.Top loading and wide compatibilityThe disc is placed from above, directly onto the mechanism, without a tray. The Isis plays CD, CD-R, CD-RW, MP3-CD and WMA-CD, and offers a USB input for connection to a computer and playback through its internal DAC. It comes with a CNC-machined Rega remote control.Part of the Reference seriesThe Isis is the natural partner for the Osiris and Aethos amplifiers, as well as the Mercury pre-amplifier. Tone Audio described it as a product that offers the best performance in its price class. For those who prefer the character of valves, Rega offers the Valve Isis, which shares the same digital section.

Ten years of research for a valve CD playerThe Rega Valve Isis is the result of ten years of research by Rega engineer Terry Bateman into a CD player with a valve output stage. The idea follows the valve signal chains used since the 1950s in musical instrument amplifiers and recording studios, through which much of the music we listen to has passed. The aim was not to add valves for a 'warm' sound, but to build a genuinely capable valve CD player.The valve version of the IsisThe Valve Isis shares its digital section and USB input with the Isis, while differing fundamentally in the analogue stage. Top loading, a CNC-machined anodised aluminium case and a CNC Rega remote complete a player that handles CD, CD-R, CD-RW, MP3-CD and WMA-CD.Part of the Reference seriesRega recommends the Osiris amplifier as the ideal partner for the Valve Isis, and it pairs equally well with the Aethos and the Mercury pre-amplifier. The Audio Beat praised its supreme tonal depth and bass performance.

The way into the Rega worldThe Planar 1 is the turntable that opens Rega's Planar range: hand built in England, belt driven, playing 33⅓ and 45 rpm records, with a pre-set RB110 tonearm and a factory-fitted Carbon cartridge. It comes out of the box almost ready to play; Rega puts set-up at under 30 seconds. This version comes in a Matt White finish.Award-winning design, refined throughoutThe model has won What Hi-Fi?'s «Best Turntable £200-£500» award five years in a row. For the latest generation Rega redesigned the motor, tonearm, belt and plinth, aiming for performance beyond its price. The result is a turntable that asks for no adjustment yet makes no compromise on the essentials: stable speed, low noise and a tonearm that reads the groove accurately.What you need to get startedIn the box you will find the Carbon cartridge already in place, a felt mat, dust cover, counterweight and the external power supply. The Planar 1 connects to an amplifier with an MM phono input, such as the Rega io, or to an external phono stage. If your system has no phono input, the Planar 1 Plus includes its own built-in phono stage.

A 1975 legend, rewrittenThe Planar 2 continues the story of the turntable of the same name that Rega introduced in 1975. Today's version was developed over around two years alongside the Planar 3 and borrows many of its engineering improvements: the RB220 tonearm, a new low-noise 24 V motor, a high-gloss acrylic laminated plinth and a redesigned main bearing.

The cartridge of the Planar 1 and Planar 2The Rega Carbon is a high-quality moving magnet (MM) cartridge designed for easy fitting and setup, with accurate music reproduction as its main goal. It is the cartridge factory-fitted to the Planar 1 and Planar 2 turntables and Rega's most affordable MM cartridge. The company presents it as one of the best-performing cartridges in its class relative to its price.Standard mounting for any tonearmThe Carbon uses the established half-inch, two-screw mounting, so it can be fitted not only to Rega tonearms but also to arms from other manufacturers. Its wide tracking force range, from 2 to 3 g, makes it forgiving to set up and ideal for anyone taking their first steps into vinyl. An output of 2.5 mV at 1 kHz suits any MM phono stage.WarrantyIt is covered by Rega's Lifetime Limited Warranty against confirmed manufacturing defects. The stylus, as a consumable part, is easily replaced by the user.

The top of the classic MM rangeThe Exact is the top hand-built stereo moving magnet (MM) cartridge in Rega's classic range, above the Carbon and Elys 2. It is made in England to very tight tolerances and combines the nude Vital stylus, an aluminium cantilever and Rega's three-point mounting. It stands out at a glance thanks to its yellow body.For the Planar 3, Planar 6 and Planar 8Rega recommends the Exact as the ideal MM cartridge for the Planar 3 and Planar 8, and it has also been offered factory-fitted to the Planar 6. It suits every Rega turntable; on turntables from other makers it requires a headshell with three-point mounting. With an output of 6.8 to 7.2 mV and a load of 47 kΩ / 100 pF it works with any MM phono stage, such as the Fono MM MK5 and the phono stages of Rega amplifiers.Reviews, rebuild and warrantyThe Exact has received positive reviews from the specialist press, with Analog Planet describing it as an excellent upgrade choice for Rega turntables. Through the Rega rebuild scheme, a worn cartridge can be exchanged for a rebuilt unit with a new cantilever, stylus and pivot pad at a reduced price. It is covered by Rega's Lifetime Limited Warranty against manufacturing defects.

The way into the Rega worldThe Planar 1 is the turntable that opens Rega's Planar range: hand built in England, belt driven, playing 33⅓ and 45 rpm records, with a pre-set RB110 tonearm and a factory-fitted Carbon cartridge. It comes out of the box almost ready to play; Rega puts set-up at under 30 seconds. This version comes in a Matt Black finish.Award-winning design, refined throughoutThe model has won What Hi-Fi?'s «Best Turntable £200-£500» award five years in a row. For the latest generation Rega redesigned the motor, tonearm, belt and plinth, aiming for performance beyond its price. The result is a turntable that asks for no adjustment yet makes no compromise on the essentials: stable speed, low noise and a tonearm that reads the groove accurately.What you need to get startedIn the box you will find the Carbon cartridge already in place, a felt mat, dust cover, counterweight and the external power supply. The Planar 1 connects to an amplifier with an MM phono input, such as the Rega io, or to an external phono stage. If your system has no phono input, the Planar 1 Plus includes its own built-in phono stage.
