The RPM1 is the new entry level deck from Project. This turntable looks stunning and in many ways seems to redefine what is possible with budget turntables. It’s sold as a package including arm and cartridge with an external power supply, and the motor is free standing so isn’t coupled to the main plinth - an idea that is rather radical at this price level (as is the fact that there is no provision for a dust cover). As starter turntables go this one is a cracker.

The Debut is already a classic budget turntable. Everything about is has been pared down to the minimum which is how it achieves its low price point, however the two important areas of sound quality and build quality are very much left intact. It comes complete with an Ortofon cartridge and can be setup within just a few minutes, making it the perfect deck for the enthusiast on a tight budget.

The standard version shown above costs £175, but it is also available with gloss paint finishes in white, red, blue (pictured below), yellow, green or piano black for £200.


The P1 is the latest budget turntable from Rega. It comes fitted with an Ortofon OM5 cartridge and Rega RB100 tonearm.

The Planar 78 is a single speed turntable designed specifically for playback of 78rpm records only. A matching mono 78 cartridge is available for £49.

The Planar 2 has been reborn, the latest version called the P2 is now available. It is also available with a Bias 2 cartridge factory fitted for a package price of £300. More details to follow.

The P3 (Planar 3) is basically an evolved version of the P2 featured above. It features new RB301 tonearm and combines it with a glass platter, an even lighter plinth and a low voltage motor. It is ideally suited to the Rega Elys cartridge although other designs (such as the Goldring 1000 series) can be fitted if spacers are used (which we can supply and/or fit).
The RB301 tonearm features the three point mounting and bias/anti-skate assembly as previously seen on the more expensive Rega tonearms. Higher grade wiring and connectors are also featured. The turntables low voltage AC motor lowers vibration and means that the deck can be upgraded by fitting an external TTPSU Rega power supply (£148, available in Black or Silver).

The standard finish is matt black as pictured, but there will be coloured versions available for a premium in the near future. We anticipate the colours will be silver, white, yellow, green, blue, purple and red.


Audio Note purchased the rights to continue making the Systemdex IIX when the original manufacturer ceased production several years ago. The TT1 (shown above) and the TT2 are evolutions of that basic design. Both decks use acrylic platters and motor pulleys with aluminium arm boards supported upon 3 springs.
The £999 TT2 has the addition of a second motor, positioned opposite the other to double the power available and also equalise the force on the bearing. Both decks sound neutral and fast without being lightweight and dynamics, which are still very good on the TT1 become outstanding on the TT2.
