Product Summary
The Rega Planar 78 is a specialist turntable designed purely for customers who want to enjoy 78 RPM records properly. Rather than trying to be an all-purpose deck, it focuses entirely on getting the best from shellac and 78 RPM collections, making it a very appealing option for collectors and anyone with a serious interest in older recordings.
That dedicated approach is a big part of the appeal. Rega has stripped away unnecessary extras and focused on the parts that matter most, including the RB220 tonearm, low-noise 24 V motor and Advanced EBLT drive belt. The result is a turntable built to give 78 RPM records stable, consistent playback while still keeping the straightforward, fuss-free ownership that makes Rega decks so popular.
