Rega Planar 6 RS Turntable

The Rega Planar 6 RS is a carefully judged step-up from the already excellent Planar 6, bringing trickle-down engineering from Rega’s higher-end decks into a more attainable package. The headline upgrade is the inclusion of the RB880 tonearm, a design normally reserved for the Planar 8. This arm uses a precision, zero-tolerance bearing assembly with improved vertical bearings and ultra-low friction movement, allowing it to extract significantly more detail from the groove while maintaining exceptional tracking stability. Compared to the standard RB330, the RB880 offers greater rigidity and reduced play, translating into cleaner transients, better stereo imaging, and a more composed presentation overall.
