Rega - Planar 6 RS Edition Turntable

The Rega Planar 6 RS Edition (Rega Special) adopts many key engineering features from the next tier Planar 8 model whilst retaining the classic Rega form factor and dustcover.

The ultra lightweight, high rigidity plinth makes the perfect platform to mount the precision RB880 tonearm, which is factory fitted and expertly aligned with the multi-award winning Nd9 moving magnet cartridge. This turntable ships with the Nd9 Reference MM cartridge factory fitted as standard, in the Aluminium Metal HP Laminate finish.

The Planar 6 RS Edition is constructed using Rega's unique Tancast 8 foam core plinth finished with an aluminium metal skin HP laminate with matching edging. This assembly creates a highly rigid, ultra-light platform, ideal for mounting advanced components whilst reducing resonance. 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 — 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) is supplied mounted with the highly acclaimed Nd9 moving magnet cartridge — the ultimate Planar 6 package. The plinth is strengthened further using Rega's double brace system, mounted between the tonearm mounting and the main hub bearing to form a structurally sound "stressed beam" assembly that prevents energy absorption and unwanted resonance.
