Turntables — Rega PLANAR 10

The PLANAR 10 is a serious flagship-adjacent belt-drive turntable from Rega, pre-fitted with the celebrated RB3000 tonearm and a choice of the Apheta 3 or optional Aphelion 2 cartridge, built with a distinctive ceramic platter. The PLANAR 10 brings Rega's more accomplished current engineering to a serious analogue playback platform.

Key specs that matter

Two speeds are supported - 33 and 45rpm - via belt drive with a DC motor. The turntable comes pre-installed with Rega's celebrated RB3000 tonearm and either the Apheta 3 cartridge or, optionally, the flagship Aphelion 2 - a complete, factory-matched analogue front end. The platter uses a distinctive ceramic material chosen for its low-resonance characteristics. At 420 x 115 x 350mm and 4.7kg, the PLANAR 10 maintains a manageable turntable chassis despite its serious engineering ambition.

Sound and use context

Expect exceptionally precise, detailed analogue playback reflecting the distinctive ceramic platter's low-resonance characteristics combined with the celebrated RB3000 tonearm, representing Rega's more accomplished current turntable engineering ambition.

Pairing

The pre-installed RB3000 tonearm and choice of Apheta 3 or Aphelion 2 cartridge come factory-matched, requiring no separate cartridge selection or alignment.

Alternatives

Rega's own flagship NAIA offers Rega's absolute current flagship alternative with the Aphelion 2 cartridge included as standard within the same broader turntable catalogue.
