Rega Planar 6 RS Turntable

Ultra-Lightweight Plinth

Rega has spent decades perfecting the science of high-rigidity, low-mass plinths. The Planar 6 RS Edition is built upon our signature Tancast 8 foam core, a material originally developed for the aerospace industry. While the standard range utilises a phenolic resin skin, the RS Edition features a stunning brushed-metal aluminum HPL skin with matching edging. This creates an incredibly stiff yet lightweight foundation that effectively kills resonance before it can reach the stylus.

RB880 Precision Tonearm

The RB880 is the culmination of 40 years of tonearm evolution. Designed using 3D CAD technology, it features a stainless steel vertical bearing shaft and a redesigned sleeve for maximum mounting stability. By intelligently redistributing mass across the tonearm tube, Rega engineers have eliminated potential resonance points. Combined with hand-matched, friction-free bearing assemblies, the RB880 provides the extreme stability required to extract every microscopic detail from your vinyl.

Double Brace Technology

To further stiffen the assembly, the RS Edition employs Rega’s "stressed beam" double brace system. By mounting high-thickness braces specifically between the tonearm and the main hub bearing, we increase rigidity exactly where it's needed most. This targeted approach avoids the pitfalls of heavy, mass-loaded plinths—which often absorb energy and transfer motor noise—ensuring that the only energy being processed is the music itself. 

24V Low-Noise Motor

At the heart of the drive system is a 24V AC synchronous motor, paired with a custom CNC-machined twin-drive aluminum pulley. To ensure near-silent operation and perfect timing, every motor is hand-tuned to its specific Neo MK2 power supply before leaving the factory, virtually eliminating vibration. 

Neo MK2 Power Supply

The Neo MK2 is a sophisticated outboard power controller that brings digital precision to analogue playback. It features an advanced anti-vibration circuit and allows for convenient electronic speed changes. By providing user-controllable fine speed adjustment and a stabilised power signal, the Neo MK2 significantly enhances rotational accuracy and speed stability.

Nd9 Reference Moving Magnet Cartridge

Meticulously hand-built by expert technicians, the Nd9 is our most advanced moving magnet cartridge to date. It utilises a "fine line" nude diamond profile bonded to a specialised Boron rod cantilever for unrivalled detail retrieval. With a minor radius of just 3μm, the monocrystalline diamond has a tiny contact area that can track the smallest variations in the record groove. Combined with a brand-new, perfectly symmetrical generator geometry, the Nd9 delivers highly accurate channel balance and an incredibly wide soundstage.

We endeavour to despatch same day for orders placed up to 1pm on available stock items (items with stock message "Usually dispatched within 24 hours"). Please remember to check with us first for a physical stock check if next day delivery is important to you. Any items with stock message "Usually dispatched within 72 hours" are items that we do not hold in stock but order in from the importer or manufacturer as soon as a customer order is received. Occasionally these may be delayed beyond 72 hours due to importer/manufacturer stock levels but we will inform you as soon as we can if this is the case.
