Rega Planar 6 RS Turntable
Rega Planar 6 RS Turntable
RS Edition special build • RB880 tonearm • factory-fitted Nd9 moving magnet cartridge • Neo MK2 PSU included • CNC twin-drive pulley • twin Reference EBLT belts
Meet the Planar 6 RS
The Rega Planar 6 RS Turntable is a special-edition performance deck that pulls key engineering elements from Rega’s higher-tier designs while retaining the familiar Planar 6 form factor and dustcover. Built around an ultra-light, ultra-rigid Tancast 8 foam core plinth with a brushed metal aluminum skin, it is engineered to minimize stored energy, reduce resonance, and create a highly stable platform for the RB880 tonearm and factory-fitted Nd9 moving magnet cartridge.
System note: this RS Edition is designed for listeners who want a complete, higher-spec Planar 6 package with premium tonearm, cartridge, and power-supply upgrades already in place from the factory.
Highlights & Benefits
- RS Edition engineering — adopts meaningful design elements from Rega’s next-tier models while preserving the practical Planar 6 footprint.
- Factory-ready premium front end — supplied with the RB880 tonearm and Nd9 moving magnet cartridge already fitted and aligned.
- Lighter, stiffer plinth philosophy — the Tancast 8 foam core structure with HPL and brushed metal skin is designed to resist resonance while avoiding unnecessary mass.
- Improved drive accuracy — the CNC twin-drive pulley and twin Reference EBLT belts help improve rotational consistency and speed control.
- Power-supply advantage — the included Neo MK2 PSU adds electronic speed change, fine speed adjustment, and lower motor noise.
- Reference-minded Planar package — the Rega Planar 6 RS Turntable is ideal for listeners who want a refined, low-resonance Rega deck with serious factory-specified upgrades rather than a base platform to modify later.
Technology & Design
Tancast 8 ultra-light plinth — Rega’s lightweight plinth philosophy focuses on reducing energy storage and unwanted resonance. On the RS Edition, the foam core structure is combined with a premium HPL layer and brushed metal aluminium skin for a stiffer, more refined platform.
RB880 precision tonearm — normally associated with higher-tier Rega models, the RB880 uses a redesigned sleeve, stainless vertical bearing shaft, and highly precise hand-matched bearings to improve rigidity and information retrieval.
24V low-noise motor system — each motor is hand tuned to the Neo MK2 PSU and driven by a custom CNC machined aluminum twin-drive pulley for lower vibration and greater speed accuracy.
Double Brace Technology — strategic bracing between the tonearm mount and main bearing forms a more rigid stressed-beam structure, helping reduce flex while avoiding the unwanted energy storage that can come with heavier plinth designs.
In a carefully matched vinyl system, the Rega Planar 6 RS Turntable is engineered to deliver greater speed precision, cleaner transient behavior, and the low-level detail retrieval expected from a serious analog source.
FAQ — Planar 6 RS
What makes the RS Edition different from a standard Planar 6?
The RS Edition adds the RB880 tonearm, factory-fitted Nd9 moving magnet cartridge, CNC twin-drive pulley, twin Reference EBLT belts, brushed metal aluminium skin finish, and the matched Neo MK2 PSU as part of the package.
Does it include a cartridge?
Yes. It is supplied with the Nd9 moving magnet cartridge factory fitted and aligned.
Is the external power supply included?
Yes. The custom-matched Neo MK2 turntable power supply is included as standard.
What platter does it use?
It uses a 16mm dual-layer float glass platter in opti-white clear glass.
Who is this turntable best suited for?
It is best for listeners who want a premium Rega analog front end with meaningful factory upgrades already integrated, rather than starting with a lower-spec platform and upgrading later.
