Product Overview

The Rega Replay is the result of over 50 years of British turntable engineering distilled into the most accessible point of entry Rega has ever made. Three years in development, the Replay arrives factory-set and ready to play in under a minute. No arm balancing, no fiddly adjustments, no guesswork. Unbox it, attach the balance weight, connect to your amplifier or phono stage, and drop the needle. That’s it.

What you get in return is a genuinely high-fidelity vinyl experience: detailed, dynamic sound from a hand-assembled RB110 tonearm with ultra-low friction bearings, a factory-fitted and aligned Rega Carbon moving magnet cartridge, and a phenolic resin platter with real flywheel effect for stable, consistent speed. Every Replay is handmade in the UK and backed by Rega’s unrivalled lifetime warranty, reassurance you rarely find at this price point.

Whether you’re playing your first record or returning to vinyl after years away, the Replay removes every barrier between you and the music.

Features

  • Hand-assembled RB110 tonearm — Built with Rega-designed ultra-low friction bearings (patented) and an ergonomically redesigned headshell for improved usability. Includes a 111g plug and play balance weight and a factory pre-set bias setting, so no manual adjustment is ever needed.
  • Factory-fitted Rega Carbon cartridge — Each Carbon moving magnet cartridge is meticulously fitted and perfectly aligned at the factory to guarantee optimum performance straight out of the box. The stylus is user-replaceable when the time comes.
  • 24V low-noise synchronous motor — A bespoke all-in-one motor module with a CNC machined aluminium pulley, integrated PCB, power switch, rear foot, and inbuilt ventilation for minimal noise and vibration.
  • 23mm phenolic resin platter — Higher mass than typical entry-level platters, creating a flywheel effect for improved speed stability. Includes a custom white mat with a textured underside designed to grip the platter surface.
  • Performance brass central bearing housing — Engineered for improved fit and reduced stress on the bearing itself, minimising the transfer of potential energy for quieter, more stable playback (patent pending).
  • High-rigidity skeletal plinth — Laminated low-mass design with a black MDF core, balancing structural rigidity with the low mass needed to reduce unwanted resonance.
  • EBLT advanced drive belt — Rega’s own belt design for consistent, accurate speed transfer from motor to platter.
  • Isolation foot assembly — Latest-generation feet designed to increase stability and reduce vibration transfer from the surface the turntable sits on.
  • Removable dustcover with anti-rotational device — Custom-fit cover that stays secure and won’t shift during use.
  • Lifetime warranty — Every Replay is handmade in the UK and backed by Rega’s lifetime warranty.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Rega Replay?

The Rega Replay is a manual belt-drive turntable handmade in the UK, built around Rega’s hand-assembled RB110 tonearm and a factory-fitted Carbon moving magnet cartridge, developed over three years as an introduction to high-fidelity vinyl playback without complex setup.

Does the Rega Replay come with a cartridge already fitted and aligned?

The Rega Replay comes with a Rega Carbon moving magnet cartridge fitted and aligned at the factory, so no cartridge installation or alignment procedure is required before playing the first record. The Carbon cartridge’s stylus is replaceable, allowing it to be renewed when worn without replacing the full cartridge body.

Does the Rega Replay need a phono stage or amplifier with a phono input?

The Rega Replay’s RCA output carries a phono-level signal that requires a compatible phono input, either built into an amplifier or provided by a separate external phono stage, before it can be connected to a speaker amplifier.

How do I set up the Rega Replay?

Setting up the Rega Replay involves pushing the supplied 111g balance weight onto the rear of the RB110 tonearm as far as it will go, connecting the RCA leads to an amplifier or phono stage, and removing the stylus guard before cueing a record. Rega states the complete setup takes under one minute, with no manual tonearm balancing required.

What playback speeds does the Rega Replay support?

The Rega Replay plays records at 33 1/3 and 45 RPM, with speed selection made manually by repositioning the EBLT advanced drive belt on the motor pulley. The turntable is driven by a 24V low-noise synchronous motor.

What tonearm does the Rega Replay use?

The Rega Replay uses Rega’s hand-assembled RB110 tonearm, supplied with a 111g balance weight that is pushed fully onto the rear of the arm as part of the initial setup. The setup procedure does not require separate arm balancing or manual bias adjustment.

What is the Rega Replay’s plinth made of?

The Rega Replay uses a skeletal low-mass plinth built from a high-rigidity laminated structure with a black MDF core, designed to provide a rigid mounting point for the tonearm and bearing while keeping overall mass low. The complete turntable including the dustcover measures 415mm wide, 320mm deep, and 115mm tall, and weighs 2.2 kg.

How does the Rega Replay compare to the Rega Planar 1?

The Rega Replay and Rega Planar 1 share the same RB110 tonearm, Carbon cartridge, 24V synchronous motor, and phenolic resin platter. The Planar 1 steps up with a more developed plinth, a heavier build at 4.2 kg versus the Replay’s 2.2 kg, and additional finish options in black, walnut, and white. The Replay is Rega’s entry point, built for the simplest possible setup experience.
