REGA TURNTABLE FAQ


Does my turntable require a phono stage?

Yes, Rega turntables require a phono stage with the exception of the Planar 1 Plus (which has a phono-pre amp built-in).

Your hifi system may have a dedicated phono stage connection & if not you can purchase one of Rega's stanadlone phono pre-amps such as the Fono A2D or Fono MM.

Are Rega turntables manual?

Yes, all Rega turntables are manual and require you to lift the arm off & on the record.

What speeds are supported?

Rega turntables support 33rpm & 44rpm records.

Are there exceptions to the lifetime guarantee?

Rega's lifetime guarantee covers manufacturing defects.

Consumable items such as the needle & belt are not covered.

The warranty does not cover accidental damage.

Any other questions?

Please get in touch with our team of Hifi experts - there is no such thing as a silly question!

ROY GANDY

Looking back, my life’s passions have mostly been sensual; food, females, fast cars, music, wine, sailing and skiing.

My motivations, activities and work have stemmed from the need to fuel these passions rather than enjoyment of the process.

If I was born with a talent, it is the intuition to recognise when something is wrong and the impulsiveness to correct it or search for what is right.
