Simply Sound & Vision has an ethos of not selling products we wouldn’t have in our own homes. Products from Rega Research are no exception to the rule. You may well know Rega for their 50 years of turntable manufacturing, which is still carried out by hand in Essex. You may not be aware that Rega also manufactures exquisite amplifiers and speakers, all under the watchful eye of Rega’s founder, the Guru that is Roy Gandy.
Simply Sound & Vision is honoured to stock Rega products. Our most popular product is the Rega Planar 1 PLUS. Technology at Rega trickles down from the £30,000 Rega Naiad through their entire range. The Planar 1 PLUS, in particular, appeals to so many customers as it has a ‘line level output’ compatible with almost all amplifiers and active and smart speakers with a line input. The slightly lower cost Planar 1 has a very low level ‘Moving Magnet’ requiring either a phono pre-amp or amplifier with an input specifically for turntables. The Rega Planar 1 has won more awards than most and for good reason. The Planar 1 is a seriously good turntable at a seriously good price and is a visual feature piece in any room.
Simply Sound & Vision specialises in multi-room music streaming, however we of course appreciate and enjoy the engagement and emotion of listening to music on vinyl, whether it’s the nostalgia of listening to the (70’s Prog Rock) music collection from your younger years or the warmth and authenticity of the sound (like how Guinness mysteriously tastes better in Ireland). The Vinyl revival started in the UK around 2009 when MP3 downloads and the earliest music streaming services started replacing CD sales. Vinyl started riding a wave of comeback success, and it continues to do so. Vinyl is back (it was never really gone), so sit back, dust off your 33s, and take time to enjoy your music again.
Rega’s Io amplifier and Kyte speakers are not specific to turntables; they can be valuable components of a lovely Hi-Fi setup. The compact design and transparent yet dynamic signature sound of the Rega Kyte will delight, as they have Rega’s precision and quality DNA running through them.
