Rega Replay turntable launch

British manufacturer Rega has introduced the Replay, an entry-level belt-drive turntable designed for a plug-and-play experience. Developed over three years, the device aims to simplify setup for vinyl enthusiasts by arriving with the tonearm and cartridge pre-aligned and factory-set, requiring no manual balancing or complex adjustments.

The turntable features a lightweight skeletal plinth design, utilizing a laminate with a black MDF core. Technical specifications include the RB110 precision tonearm with low-friction bearings, a 24V synchronous motor, and a 23mm phenolic resin platter for rotational stability. It is equipped with a factory-installed Rega Carbon moving magnet cartridge and fixed antiskating settings.

Handcrafted in the United Kingdom, the unit includes a CNC-machined aluminum pulley for speed changes between 33⅓ and 45 RPM, a transparent dust cover, and is priced at approximately 349 Euro. Unlike many modern entry-level models, the Replay maintains a minimalist approach without wireless features or an integrated phono stage.
