Rega Planar 1 Plus speed issue

[nopiano]

The only turntable I have ever owned had a strobe with speed adjustment. Is this feature not available any more?

Technics and a few others still fit strobes. It’s most useful if you’re a musician and need to tune a recording to your instrument. And then to reset it accurately.

We still don't seem to have established whether or not it is his power supply that is causing the issue.... How was the idea of faulty power supply determined

From a manufacturing point of view most likely to be a batch than an individual case these days... shocked that Rega have that though. makes me think they have subcontracted something out (as all manufacturers do).. but that is normally picked up quickly, and a recall happens.

Hello everyone!
I recently purchased a brand new Rega Planar 1 plus turntable and realised that it was running awfully slow- i timed it at 32 instead of 33 1/2 rpm so returned it and just received a replacement unit- only to realise that it also has the same.
Before I return it and ask for my hard-earned cash back and look for another brand I wanted to ask if there’s anybody out there running into the same issues. I find it hard to believe that a brand such as Rega would not have thorough quality control processes and ship out faulty units. I have tried plugging it into different outlets but it is still running slow… what could the issue be?

PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!

I read somewhere that the Planar 1 struggles sometimes with records heavier than 180gr. it might be even more noticeable if coinciding with another of the problems everyone else suggested.
if that is the case, the units are not faulty. just not powerful enough.

Rumours are rife. Unless you personally have experienced ir then it's best not to mention it here as it will only be jumped on by forum members.....
