Rega Planar 6 Turntable

The Rega Planar 6 turntable is built around the huge success of the Rega RP8 and RP10 turntables. The Planar 6 is the first new Rega turntable to be constructed using an ultra lightweight Tancast 8 polyurethane foam core plinth. This material was developed for the aerospace industry. The material is sandwiched between a new high pressure laminate (HPL). HPL is an exceptionally thin material, extremely rigid and is presented in a stunning Polaris matt grey finished with high gloss polymer black edge trim.

The Rega Planar 6 turntable benefits from a single piece machined aluminium sub-platter and a new 24v motor. The motor is hand tuned and matched to the supplied Rega NEO power supply and includes a Rega upgrade drive belt as standard.

The Rega Neo PSU uses the RP10 digital signal processing (DSP) generator built upon a high stability crystal. The DSP generator will divide the signal accurately from the crystal to the exact frequency required to turn the turntable platter at the selected speed. The DSP generator will also produce a near perfect sinusoidal waveform to drive the motor. This, along with an efficient drive amplifier, generates a 24V AC balanced signal of less than 0.15% distortion, which is unaffected by changes to the mains voltage and conditions. This then drives the turntables anti-vibration circuit, which is situated beneath the turntable.

You will be pleased to learn of a cost effective upgrade for the Rega Planar 6 and all Rega turntables that feature a 6mm threaded bolt to secure the 3 feet. The Solidair Audio Dub Star 50 isolation feet provided a lift in sound quality. We are hosting an in-store event between Thursday 12^th – Saturday 14^th October, focussing on the Solidair Audio Dub Star isolation feet. The demonstrations are by appointment and will last approximately 45 minutes. If you would like to learn more, please contact a Chris, John or Simon for more details.
