Rega Planar 6
RP8 and RP10 technology in a more accessible formThe Planar 6 succeeds the award-winning RP6 and is Rega's first turntable with a Tancast 8 foam core plinth. It takes the ideas behind the RP8 and RP10, namely an ultra-light yet rigid base, a matched motor and a separate power supply, and brings them to a price class where, according to Rega, its performance exceeds its cost. This version comes in matt Polaris grey with high-gloss black edge trim, together with the RB330 tonearm and the Neo PSU MK2 power supply, without a cartridge. It is hand-built in England.Platter, sub-platter and feetThe platter consists of two layers of float glass, one smoked and one clear, bonded under pressure, as on the RP8. It sits on a sub-platter machined from a single piece of aluminium and carefully balanced. A wool felt mat is included; it is anti-static and does not stick to records. The feet are aluminium with an elastomer insert to isolate the turntable from the surface it stands on.Cartridge choice and systemWithout a factory-fitted cartridge, the Planar 6 leaves the choice to you: it pairs ideally with the Rega Nd5, Nd7 and Nd9 (MM) or the Ania, Ania Pro and Apheta 3 (MC). Depending on the cartridge you will need an MM or MC phono stage, such as the Rega Fono MM MK5 and Fono MC MK4, or an amplifier with the matching input.

Rega Planar 8 Black + Neo PSU
An affordable NaiadThe Planar 8 is not simply an evolution of the RP8. Rega designed it from scratch to capture the essence of the Naiad, its experimental reference turntable, in a far more accessible class. The result is a skeletal, ultra-light turntable with the RB880 tonearm and the Neo PSU MK2 power supply, supplied without a cartridge, in matt Polaris grey. The outer frame of the RP8 has been replaced by a single-piece removable dust cover, reducing mass even further. It is hand-built in England.Triple-layer platter and main bearingThe platter consists of three layers of glass of different thicknesses, bonded under pressure. Most of its mass sits at the rim for a strong flywheel effect, while the lighter centre reduces load on the bearing. The platter rests on a sub-platter machined from a single piece of aluminium, with a hardened steel spindle running in a brass housing.Choosing a cartridgeWithout a factory-fitted cartridge, the Planar 8 can be paired with the Rega Nd7 and Nd9 (MM) or the Ania Pro, Apheta 3 and Aphelion 2 (MC). For moving coil cartridges Rega recommends phono stages such as the Aura MC. Among other awards, the Planar 8 has been named What Hi-Fi? Best Turntable Over £2000 (2019) and Hi-Fi Choice Group Test Winner (2023).

Rega Planar 3 RS
Rega Special: the Planar 3 without compromiseThe Planar 3 RS Edition (Rega Special) is the upgraded version of Rega's best-known turntable. It keeps the dimensions and minimalist philosophy of the Planar 3, but adopts solutions previously reserved for the Planar 6, 8 and 10: an HPL laminate plinth with a brushed aluminium skin, a separate Neo PSU MK2 power supply, a Reference EBLT belt and a factory-fitted Nd5 cartridge. It is hand-built in England.Design and finishThe dark brushed metallic aluminium surface is framed by high-gloss black edging, giving the RS a more premium look than the classic Planar 3. The dust cover is smoked, while the 12 mm Optiwhite float glass platter with a polished edge acts as a flywheel for stable rotation. The main hub uses a patented brass bearing with an improved fit.Ready to playTonearm and cartridge arrive factory-aligned, so setup takes only a few minutes. You will need an MM phono stage or an amplifier with an MM input, such as the Rega Fono MM MK5, Elex MK4 or Elicit MK5. Among other awards, the Planar 3 RS was named What Hi-Fi? Product of the Year 2025.

Rega ND9
The peak of the Nd seriesThe Nd9 is the highest-performing moving magnet (MM) cartridge Rega has ever made. It is a hand-built stereo cartridge that combines the Nd series' N55 neodymium magnet with a boron cantilever and a fine line nude diamond stylus, technologies derived from the company's flagship moving coil cartridge, the Aphelion 2. A glass-filled PPS body and Rega pivot pad technology complete the design.For Rega tonearmsThe Nd9 uses Rega's three-point mounting exclusively, so it is intended for Rega tonearms. It is available factory-fitted to the Planar 8, at a lower price than buying it separately, and Rega also recommends it for the Planar 3 RS Edition and Planar 6. With an output of 5 to 6 mV it works with any MM phono stage, such as the Fono MM MK5.Awards, rebuild and warrantyThe Nd9 has been recognised by Hi-Fi Choice, The Ear (Editor's Choice), AVForums (Best Buy) and Audiograde. Through the Rega rebuild scheme, a worn cartridge can be rebuilt with a new cantilever, stylus and pivot pad at a reduced price. It is covered by Rega's Lifetime Limited Warranty against manufacturing defects.

Rega Ania Pro
The Ania with a stylus from the AphetaThe Rega Ania Pro is a moving coil cartridge that keeps the rigid body and hand-wound generator of the Ania but upgrades the most critical detail: the stylus. Here Rega uses a nude diamond with a Vital profile, the stylus philosophy inherited from the Apheta range, to recover as much information from the groove as possible. It is easy to recognise by its red protective cover.Sound characterRega sums up its sound in three phrases: tight bass, warm mids and accurate highs. The result is balanced and detailed, with wide dynamic range, a spacious soundstage and natural tonal balance. Reviewers at Hi-Fi Choice and The Ear described it as a clear step up from the Ania, especially on Rega turntables.Which turntables it is made forRega recommends the Ania Pro as the ideal cartridge for the Planar 6 and Planar 8, and offers versions of both turntables with the cartridge factory-fitted. It also suits the Planar 3 and any Rega tonearm with three-point fixing, such as the RB330 and RB880. It needs a phono stage with an MC input.

Rega Aria MK3 MM / MC
Two phono stages in oneThe Aria MK3 is Rega's phono stage for listeners who want to use both moving magnet (MM) and moving coil (MC) cartridges. It features two completely separate stages, one for MM and one fully adjustable for MC, each with its own input and its own circuit designed specifically for the type of cartridge it serves. It is housed in a half-width aluminium enclosure.Pure analogueThe Aria MK3 is a purely analogue system with no digital control circuitry. Rega deliberately avoided any unnecessary function that would burden the signal path, keeping only what serves the music. Stereonet described it as musical, engaging and tonally smooth, with an awful lot to like for the money.Partnerships and warrantyRega recommends it with the Ania, Ania Pro, Apheta 3 and Aphelion 2 cartridges, the Planar 6, Planar 8 and Planar 10 turntables and the Aethos amplifier. It is covered by Rega's Lifetime Limited Warranty against confirmed manufacturing defects.

Rega Elex MK4
The amplifier that brings your music to lifeThe Rega Elex MK4 is a high-performance integrated amplifier designed for accurate, natural sound. It is based on the award-winning class A/B power circuit of earlier Rega designs and delivers 72 W per channel into 8 Ω and 90 W into 6 Ω, driving demanding loudspeakers with ease. A Rega DAC with two digital inputs is added on the rear panel, with a headphone output on the front.A new case that doubles as a heatsinkThe MK4 arrives in a new case that brings it in line visually with the rest of the Rega range. The entire enclosure acts as a heatsink, improving heat dissipation and the thermal stability of the circuit over long listening sessions. Measuring 43.2 x 8.2 x 34 cm, it occupies the usual space of a full-width amplifier.Flexibility for any systemFour line inputs, MM phono, optical and coaxial digital inputs, a pre-amp output and a record output allow the Elex MK4 to fit almost any system and to be upgraded later with an external power amplifier. It includes thermal, short-circuit and DC protection, while key components such as high-quality relays, polypropylene capacitors and Sanken output transistors are selected for sound quality.

Planar 8 engineering in the classic Planar 6 form
Rega Special: a step above the Planar 6
The Planar 6 RS Edition (Rega Special) borrows engineering from the Planar 8 while keeping Rega's classic form with a full dust cover. It builds on the plinth and dimensions of the award-winning Planar 6 and adds the RB880 tonearm, the Nd9 moving magnet cartridge, twin drive with two Reference EBLT belts and a brushed aluminium skin, the same as on the Planar 3 RS. The Neo PSU MK2 power supply is included, and the turntable is hand-built in England.
Platter and finish
The 16 mm platter consists of two layers of Opti-white float glass bonded under pressure for greater rigidity and flywheel effect. It sits on a sub-platter machined from a single piece of aluminium and carefully balanced, and an anti-static wool mat is included. The brushed metallic aluminium surface with matching edging and the smoked dust cover give a clean, premium look.
Awards and system
The Planar 6 RS was named Best Turntable £1,500–£2,500 at the What Hi-Fi? 2026 Awards and rated Exceptional by Sound Advice. With the Nd9 (MM) cartridge it needs an MM phono stage or an amplifier with an MM input, such as the Rega Fono MM MK5, Elex MK4, Elicit MK5 or Aethos.
RS plinth with Double Brace
The base of the Planar 6 RS follows Rega's philosophy of low mass and high rigidity, but with materials and a finish that lift it a class above the standard Planar 6.
Tancast 8 foam and aluminium
The core is Tancast 8, an extremely light polyurethane foam from the aerospace industry. It is clad with High Pressure Laminate and an outer brushed aluminium skin with matching edging. The result is an ultra-light yet very stiff plinth that stores minimal energy and returns almost no vibration to the stylus.
Double Brace technology
Between the tonearm mount and the main bearing, Rega places double-thickness phenolic resin on the top and bottom faces of the plinth. The braces are used only where extra stiffness is needed, so overall mass does not increase. This creates a rigid beam between the two points that define the relationship between stylus and record, limiting resonance and the transfer of motor and bearing noise.
What you hear
In practice, the stiffer base translates into a blacker background, cleaner detail and more precise bass. AVForums reviewers noted that while the differences from the Planar 6 may look cosmetic, the improvement in performance is clear, and they felt it could challenge rivals costing up to twice as much. Sound Advice, for its part, found it equal to or better than the Planar 3 RS in every respect and judged it the best balance of price, performance and features it had tested in a long time.
Twin drive and Neo PSU MK2
Stable speed is the foundation of correct timing and pitch. On the Planar 6 RS, Rega uses a solution taken from its higher models: a twin pulley and two belts.
CNC twin pulley and two EBLT belts
The motor pulley is CNC-machined with two grooves for two Rega Reference EBLT belts. The belts are moulded and specially treated so they hold their shape consistently over time, which is essential for a belt that must stay perfectly round. With two belts, drive is transferred to the aluminium sub-platter more evenly, improving speed accuracy and control. Until recently, twin EBLT drive was a privilege of the more expensive Planar models; here it comes in a turntable with classic dimensions and a full dust cover.
Motor matched to its power supply
The 24 V low-noise synchronous motor is hand-tuned to its own Neo PSU MK2. The power supply uses a DSP generator with a crystal reference and drives the motor with a sine wave, while the anti-vibration circuit reduces motor noise. Switching between 33⅓ and 45 rpm is electronic, with no need to touch the belts.
Fine adjustment
The user can adjust the speed in 0.01 rpm steps from the rear of the power supply. The Neo PSU MK2 is fed by the Rega PS1 wall supply (24 V AC, 350 mA) and consumes just 7.2 W, with the motor output protected by a resettable fuse. Speed can be verified with Rega's optional Strobe Kit, giving full confidence that every record plays exactly as intended.
RB880 tonearm and Nd9 cartridge
The Planar 6 RS takes the tonearm usually found on the Planar 8 and pairs it with Rega's flagship moving magnet cartridge, the Nd9, assembled and aligned at the factory.
RB880
Rega describes the RB880 as an arm that extracts more detail from the record surface. It has a redesigned aluminium vertical bearing housing with a stainless steel sleeve and shaft for better mounting stability. The new arm tube with redistributed mass reduces resonance, while hand-selected bearings provide almost zero friction. The cartridge is fixed at three points and the arm is assembled by hand, complete with a low-capacitance phono cable. Its 11 g effective mass and Rega's standard geometry leave room for a future upgrade to moving coil cartridges.
Nd9: Rega's flagship MM
The Nd9 is a hand-built moving magnet cartridge with a Fine Line nude diamond measuring 3 x 30 µm, mounted on a boron cantilever. The combination tracks groove modulations precisely and delivers fine detail with excellent channel balance. A neodymium magnet, miniaturised parallel coils and a rigid PPS body complete the design, and each cartridge is built by hand at Rega.
Easy to connect
Fitted with Rega's 3-point fixing and with an output of 5–6 mV and a tracking force of 1.75 g, the Nd9 works with any MM phono input. Rega also offers the Planar 6 RS with the Ania moving coil cartridge as a separate version, for listeners who already own or plan to buy a moving coil phono stage.
