Rega Planar 78 Turntable
Planar 78 is based around the Planar 1 plinth which is a relatively new thermoset gloss laminated plinth with vastly improved appearance and new ergonomically positioned on/off switch located on the underside.
This plinth is coupled with the latest RB220 arm that features the latest Rega designed "zero play" ball bearing assembly with ultra-low friction performance (Patent Pending), new automatic bias assembly, re-designed stiffer vertical bearing housing, integrated arm clip, and their custom arm tube.
Planar 78 is the first 78rpm deck Rega have made with a 24v motor to ensure it offers low noise and better speed stability. The platter is of a 23mm phenolic resin type with a higher mass to also aid speed stability.
The Planar 78 is supplied without cartridge but Rega manufactures a dedicated 78 moving magnet cartridge, the RB78 (sold separately)
