Stand leider nur ein paar Monate hier rum weil keine Verstärker etc. vorhanden ist.
Da sich Umzugspläne ergeben haben gebe ich den Spieler deshalb wieder ab.
Karton und Gebrauchsanweisung etc. ist natürlich dabei.
Der Deckel vom Spieler ist durch einfache Staub-Entfernung leider etwas zerkatzt.
This is a buyer’s market at this price: €350 sits just above the €345 median and below the €365 75th percentile, so it reads as fair value rather than a bargain or an ambitious ask. It’s close enough to the center of the market that the price is defensible if the deck and dust cover are tidy and it’s ready to play.
The attraction here is the Planar 1’s simplicity: it’s a well-regarded plug-and-play belt-drive deck that’s easy to live with, has good speed stability for the money, and is a solid step up from entry-level “all-in-one” tables. At €350, it’s worth buying if it comes with the original cartridge and power supply and the condition is genuinely clean; that’s where the value shows up.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Rega Research, founded in 1973 in Essex, England, by Roy Gandy and Tony Relph, emerged from Gandy's lifelong passion for vinyl playback. A Ford engineer and music enthusiast, Gandy built his first turntable, the Planet, in his spare time, blending the founders' surnames to create the Rega name. From humble beginnings in a derelict mill, the company quickly gained traction with early models like the Planar 2 and Planar 3, establishing its heritage as a British hi-fi pioneer dedicated to precision engineering and hand-assembly.
Rega specializes in turntables and tonearms, its cornerstone products, but has expanded into a full ecosystem including cartridges, integrated amplifiers like the Elicit and Brio, phono stages such as the Fono, and speakers like the Ela series. While early efforts included loudspeakers and electronics from the 1980s onward, the brand prioritizes vinyl-centric components over headphones, DACs, or cables, all designed in-house for musical fidelity using specialist materials and tight tolerances.
Rega holds a revered position in the high-end hi-fi market as a niche boutique icon, prized by audiophiles for affordable, lifetime-quality performance that emphasizes music over gimmicks. Globally exported to over 50 countries from its Essex facility employing more than 150, it remains a symbol of British ingenuity, with turntables like the Planar series securing enduring loyalty among vinyl revivalists.
