Aesthetically it's basic, but this Rega system is greater than the sum of its parts

Rega SYSTEM-ONE-BLK-EU system
System One is the whole argument of this brand in one carton: a Planar 1 turntable, an io amplifier, a pair of Kyte loudspeakers, the mini remote and two three-metre lengths of Rega speaker cable. Nothing is missing and nothing was cheapened to make the package work — the io's built-in moving-magnet phono stage means the Planar plugs straight in, and its two line inputs leave room for a streamer or a television later. Set-up is half a minute on the deck and a screwdriver on the speakers. Buy it as a first real system, or as the answer to the question of what you give someone who has never owned one.

In the press
This system does what Rega components have always been particularly good at; producing a musically coherent and thoroughly engaging listening experience.

It is probably clear by now that this System One combination pleasantly surprised me.
