Rega Glass Platter for Planar Turntables

Yes, this platter is a direct upgrade for the Planar 1, RP1, and P1 models. It is designed to be a simple drop-in replacement for the standard platter included with those turntables.

The 10mm Optiwhite glass platter provides greater mass and consistency compared to standard platters. This increased stability helps maintain a more constant rotational speed and reduces unwanted vibrations, resulting in better playback precision and detail.

Because this platter is the standard thickness for the Planar 2, it should not require any adjustments to your tonearm height or tracking force if you are using a standard Rega cartridge. However, it is always good practice to double-check your tracking force after any maintenance.

While the glass surface is designed to be used directly, you can certainly use a felt or rubber record mat if you prefer. Using a mat can help protect your records from the glass surface and may offer subtle changes to the sound signature.

The glass platter is very low maintenance. You can simply wipe it down with a clean, dry microfiber cloth to remove dust. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners that could leave a residue on the surface.
