Rega Planar 6 with Nd5 (MM) or Nd7 (MM) cartridge factory fitted.
The Rega Planar 6 Turntable is constructed around a unique ultra-light foam core plinth and HPL laminates. It is designed to deliver a level of performance beyond anything at this price. The Planar 6 features the RB330 tonearm and a dual-layer float glass platter. The supplied Neo turntable power supply provides convenient speed selection, advanced anti-vibration control, and electronic fine speed adjustment.
The Rega Planar 6 Turntable is built around the huge success of the RP8 and RP10 turntables. It is the first new Rega turntable to be constructed with an ultra-lightweight Tancast 8 polyurethane foam core plinth (a material developed for the aerospace industry). This material is sandwiched between a new HPL (high pressure laminate). HPL is exceptionally thin whilst extremely rigid and is presented in a stunning Polaris matt grey finished with high gloss polymer black edge trim.
The Planar 6 now benefits from a single piece, machined aluminium sub-platter, a new 24 V motor hand tuned and matched to its own Neo power supply and a custom drive pulley fitted with the upgraded drive belt.
The Planar 6 will now ship with a new-look NEO MK2 power supply as standard.

John D’souza –
I was after a high-end turntable that would deliver superior sound quality and the Rega Planar 6 fit the bill. I had been wanting to upgrade my turntable for a while and I’m very glad I chose this one. It has a minimalist design with a belt drive. I was a bit concerned about putting an expensive turntable together but it was much easier than I had anticipated. My only issue is that I’ve been finding it difficult to find more vinyl lp records.

It has a dual-layer float glass platter, a double brace technology and superb timing, agility and dynamism. The Rega Planar 6 delivers a level of performance beyond anything that I have heard in its price range.
