Know before you buy
The Neo PSU provides a stable, vibration-free power supply that allows for precise electronic speed control. It features a DSP generator that ensures your records play at the exact correct speed and allows for fine-tuning adjustments without needing to manually move the belt.
The Rega Planar 6 is typically sold as a turntable deck, though many retailers offer it bundled with a factory-fitted cartridge. Please check your specific package contents, as the inclusion of a cartridge can vary by region and retailer.
The Tan-Cast 8 polyurethane foam core is incredibly lightweight yet rigid, which helps minimize unwanted resonance. By reducing the mass of the plinth, the turntable prevents energy from being stored and released back into the record, resulting in a cleaner, more detailed sound.
The Planar 6 comes standard with Rega's upgraded drive belt, which offers improved consistency and stability over standard belts. It is designed to be a high-performance component, so you likely won't need to look for an upgrade for quite some time.
The RB330 uses advanced CAD/CAM engineering and a high-precision bearing housing to ensure near-frictionless movement. This allows the stylus to track the grooves of your records with much greater accuracy, leading to better information retrieval and less distortion.
Yes, a smoked dust cover is included with the Planar 6. It is designed to be easily removable, allowing you to take it off during playback if you prefer the look or believe it improves the sonic performance by reducing potential vibrations.
