Rega Planar 6 RS Edition Turntable, Planar 8 Engineering in the Classic Planar 6 Form
The Rega Planar 6 RS Edition (RS for Rega Special) adopts many key engineering features from the next-tier Planar 8 while keeping the classic Rega form factor and dustcover. Its ultra-lightweight, high-rigidity plinth is the perfect platform for the precision RB880 tonearm, factory-fitted and expertly aligned with one of two award-winning cartridge options to suit your taste: the Nd9 moving magnet or the Ania moving coil. A serious performer in classic Rega styling, the Planar 6 RS Edition is available now at Vinyl Sound in Buffalo, NY USA.
Classic Styling, Serious Performer
The Planar 6 RS Edition uses Rega's unique Tancast 8 foam-core plinth finished with an aluminium metal-skin HP laminate and matching edging, creating a highly rigid, ultra-light platform that reduces resonance. Like the standard Planar 6 it includes a custom-matched Neo Mk2 PSU and a hand-tuned, low-noise 24V motor driving the aluminium sub-platter, now via an upgraded CNC twin-drive pulley and two Rega Reference EBLT drive belts for improved accuracy and speed control. The precision RB880 tonearm, usually found on the Planar 8, completes the ultimate Planar 6 package.
Key Features
Highlights include the RB880 tonearm with custom stainless balance weight, a choice of Nd9 moving magnet or Ania moving coil cartridge factory-fitted, the CNC twin-drive motor pulley, a Tancast 8 foam-core plinth with HP laminate and metal skin, a dual-layer float-glass Opti-white clear platter, the custom-matched Neo Mk2 power supply, twin Reference EBLT drive belts, a 24V synchronous low-noise motor, Double Brace Technology, and a smoked dustcover as standard. The Ania moving coil can also be packaged with Rega's Fono MC phono stage. Every Planar 6 RS is backed by Rega's Lifetime Limited Warranty against manufacturing defects.
