In the US the Project T1 is $450.00, the Rega Planar 1 Plus is $775.00. That's a big difference.
If you're in the US its more worth going for a Fluance turntable. I think this review is more for people who can't afford to ship Fluance models for $250 to their country haha
Another factor worth considering is that all Rega products are made in England, so if you can’t make up your mind, but like the idea of supporting British manufacturing that might be a deciding factor.
So happy you guys have covered this!
It was so highly requested it would have been rude not to! 😅
Great vid....and i love my T1 Analog ☺
Had the Rega RP1 back in the day.
Sounds amazing. Loved the aftermarket options.
So rega for me.
(today i have Technics... 😊)
Wow, I was just about to buy the T1 and now I see the new video from you, thanks, definitely will take it for consideration 😊
Let us know what you go for!
@@smarthomesounds well, finally, I am staying with my first choice which is T1 however I will be connecting it with ERA300, but Sonos line out adapter is not available yet, it will be on stock on June, so I need to be patient a lot longer :) anyway, thanks for the comparison video, I am really looking for some entry level device with decent sound quality, this should fit all my expectations. Cheers!
Hi - how'd did you get on with the Era300 set up, I'm about to get the exact same set up as you T1 with x2 Era300. I'd love to know if you've had any issues? Thanks

Just received a Planar 1 Plus Eco and it sounds fab for the money (£229). For the last 10 years I have really only been listening to streamed music and did a direct comparison between digital and analog with some of my 30+ year old LP's - the difference was mind blowing. I don't think I was hearing how horribly compressed and flat the streamed music sounds. No going back for me. Just need me some better speakers...
Hey from Texas. You guys are my favorite sound channel!
Hey! Thanks for the comment, glad you’re enjoying the content 👍🏻
@@smarthomesounds I have a sonos system and am thinking about saving up for the victrola. Would you recommend that for me over these two players?
I just got a Pro-Ject T1 Phono SB and I couldn't be happier.
At the same price; I'd pick the Rega every day. However, that cartridge it ships with is just a rebadged AT3600. I'd say the Om5e is probably the better cart+stylus of the two, but I'd upgrade that anyway. So remove the price difference factor, and remove the cartridge/stylus difference factor; Rega all the way. But for someone who isn't willing to change anything in favor of performance, or if there's a significant price difference in your locale; Pro-Ject it is.
Note I currently have a bunch of Pro-Ject turntables (incl. a T1), and the Rega RP1 (the Planar 1's predecessor).
Pro-ject T1...beautiful piece of kit.
Id definitely go with the Pro-ject. I'm constantly switching between 33 and 45 so suits my needs perfectly. And the switchable phono stage gives more flexibility. Having said that my last Pro-ject TT, the motor went and was very expensive, almost impossible to replace. But as you both say not much between them, it's personal choice. Im currenly running a Pioneer PL51 circa,1975 as my main TT. Im wondering how it would stack up sonically against one of these now! Great reviews guys 👍
Excellent video as usual, we would like to add we offer an unrivaled 'Lifetime Warranty' and all of our products are hand made in the UK👍
Great point 👍
Don’t worry, I just ordered a P1 plus ECO. I haven’t owned a record deck for years and never thought I’d be able to own a Rega. Rega being such a high end brand that was unobtainable when I was young. Now I’m 48 and finally getting one. Should sit nice with my Hegel H190 and Chartwell LS3/5
What would be a good choice of you don't require a built in phono trying to decide over Rega p1, project t1 or fluance rt82
Have owned both entry level Pro-ject and a Planar 1 in the past. Much as I think the Planar 1 looks like a toy it doesn’t sound like one. Slays anything else anywhere near this price on sound quality.
A few things you left off on the Rega no hinges at 3600 stylus and the warped platter and you can't adj the anti skate
Please provide the exact depth of the Rega Planar 1Plus turntable with the cover open and the distance from the front of the turntable's front legs.
Managed to snag a T1 on a 50% off sale. It will be my first modern TT. Till now I've used my grandfathers DUAL 1225, so I'm interested to see how it sounds in comparison to a real vintage one
Where did you get it for half off?
Got a P1 Plus. There was a hum amplified by the built in phono stage. Had to swap it.
Rega P1 for the sound and Pro-ject T1 for the feature. I have both and can't choose which one to return.
Good luck with that choice! It's a tough one! 🙃
Which one did you end up returning and why? Trying ro decide between the two
@@vascoernesto78 i sell both of them
Maybe you could address the obvious platter wobble on the Rega Planar 1 - I have a Project 1.2 which had a similar issue...it worsened to the point where the platter would scrape against the plinth. it drove me insane until I took the platter off and replaced it with a very old, very thick, classical LP. Considered buying the Rega but the platter wobble has put me off. Apparently it is not uncommon.
I actually had experience with a planner 1 and there was platter rock that I didn't like and there spindles seem to plastic to me the really only thing a rega has going for it is the arm.
What’s crazy is in Canada the rega is 400$ more than the T1… rega is just not really worth the extra dollars here unfortunately.
Hey guys just a suggestion, I wanted to listen more about the objective differences as which has better cartridge, torearm material, weight, and less of that fake arguing. It would be more informative
Rega. Definately. I have a P2 myself
Does the Pro-Ject T1 Phono SB Turntable come with that glass cover?
i believe it is plastic but yes it does
If I wasn't so attached to my current turntable, I'd have the Rega in heartbeat
Are you gonna make a video about a full Sonos system including the arc, 2 subs and 2 Sonos eras 300 as rears?
Yes, this will be coming soon on our channel :)
Ok, so after 10mins of this I am still stumped on which one to go for…😂🤣
Rega all the way. What did Project compromise on for the auto change from 33.3 to 45 RPM ? When was the last time someone played a 45 RPM on their table ? Changing the belt on capstan on the Rega adds no compromises. I may be biased - pun - as I’ve always used Rega tables . I own a Plannar 3 . Project is a great table , I’m not putting it down. It’s just the lights, and auto speed makes no sense to me . Rega P1 is plug, and play as well.

Why do a comparison if you’re not going to give a winner and there’s always a winner that has the edge no matter how small. All the info can be found on websites so why not let them be heard with different genres of music and allow us that experience instead of listening to textbook info that most people looking to buy would have already read.
I tell you fellas, I am never more envious of British people then when they are talking about hi-fi prices.
Say that those two turntables are six British pounds price difference, well in the good old USA those two turntables roughly have a 300 US dollar price difference, in favor of the project.
So for my money the project is the way to go plus with the speed box you don't have to worry about taking the platter off and switching speed, not to mention the fact that project has better built quality.
Don't get me wrong I personally think that the raga is the better sounding table, however after having owned four different Rega turntables over the last 5 years, I can't really trust anymore that when I buy one it will come out of the box working properly.
During that same time frame I've purchased for and recommended project turntables to friends and family. When they made the purchase I set these turntables up for them as well, and I have to say that none of those projects have ever exhibited the build quality snafus that I've noticed with Rega products.
Is rega has Bluetooth?
No
