Like the standard Planar 6, the RS Edition includes a custom-matched Neo MK2 PSU and a hand-tuned low-noise 24V motor which drives the aluminium sub platter. In addition, this is now driven via an upgraded CNC twin drive pulley and two Rega Reference EBLT drive belts for improved accuracy and speed control. To complete the package, the precision RB880 tonearm (usually found on the Planar 8), depending on preference, is supplied mounted with the highly acclaimed Nd9 moving magnet cartridge.
