Brand: Rega
Product type: Analogue
The Planar 8 was inspired by the ultimate Rega turntable, the ‘Naiad’. It was decided early on that instead of an evolution of the previous RP8, the new Planar 8 was to be developed and engineered to encapsulate the essence of ‘Naiad’ at an affordable price. The aim was to deliver a level of performance far beyond what has been achieved at this price point before.
Every aspect of the Planar 8 is engineered to extract as much detail from the vinyl surface as possible. Rega have used the most advanced materials and engineering solutions built around a supremely lightweight plinth to ensure the greatest level of performance. The Planar 8 is supplied with the new RB880 tonearm and NEO TT-PSU as standard which offers electronic speed change, advanced anti-vibration control and user adjustable electronic fine speed adjustment to ensure total accuracy and control over the motor. The outer frame of the RP-8 has now been removed and a new stylish, removable, single piece dustcover has been introduced further reducing the overall mass of the turntable.
Available with optional, factory fitted, cartridges namely the Nd7 (MM) plus the Ania, Ania Pro & Apheta-3 (MC) designs.
