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 The outer frame of the RP8 has been replaced by a single-piece removable dust cover, reducing mass even further.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 Apheta 3
Fifteen years of developmentRega has refined its moving coil cartridges for more than fifteen years, using undamped micro-mass generators and jointless bodies. The Apheta 2 was a great success and the Apheta 3 builds on it, borrowing from the flagship Aphelion 2 the nude Fine Line diamond stylus mounted at 90 degrees. The aim is to recover even more detail from the groove.Sound characterThe Apheta 3 delivers clear, transparent highs, exceptional resolution, rich low frequencies and very good channel separation. The sound is musical and natural, with correct rendering of instrumental timbre and fast transient response. It is a cartridge that reveals what is really on a good pressing, without adding brightness or weight.The ideal partnerRega calls it the ideal partner for the Planar 8 and Planar 10, and through retailers it is also available factory-fitted as a package at a more favourable price. It also suits the Planar 6 and the RB330 and RB880 tonearms, while Rega's Aura MC phono stage is its natural companion. It needs an MC phono stage.

Rega Aphelion 2
Fourth generation, top of the rangeThe Rega Aphelion 2 is the fourth generation of the British company's hand-built moving coil cartridges and its reference model. It builds on the original Aphelion and the Apheta 3, but Rega's engineers re-examined and refined every individual element. Rega itself describes it as the best-performing cartridge it has made to date.Sound characterIts presentation is musical and natural, with rich timbres, transparency and balance. The frequency ranges knit together without exaggeration, detail is exceptional and bass is well articulated and defined, within a natural, convincing soundstage. Jason Kennedy of The Ear described it as a revelation, precisely because it shows what records really sound like.For reference systemsThe Aphelion 2 was designed for Rega's reference turntables, such as the Planar 10 and the Naia, and for the RB3000 tonearm. Rega recommends the Aura MC phono stage and the Aethos and Osiris amplifiers as partners. It is available to special order.

Rega RB3000
Where tonearm design reaches its limitsThe Rega RB3000 is a reference tonearm with new features that, according to Rega, push the boundaries of tonearm design. Every unit is built entirely by hand by skilled technicians. The improved bearings are selected one by one to match their spindle on both inside and outside diameter, a method that recovers more detail from the record surface.Its place in the rangeThe RB3000 is the tonearm supplied with the Planar 10, Rega's reference turntable, and its new vertical bearing assembly was designed specifically for it. As an upgrade, it fits any turntable with a Rega-type mounting hole and is the final step before the RB Titanium.Recommended cartridgesRega recommends the RB3000 with its moving coil cartridges: the Aphelion 2, Apheta 3, Ania Pro and Ania. With the Aphelion 2 and the Aura MC phono stage it forms the company's reference replay system. The cartridge is sold separately.

Rega Aura Reference MC Black
Rega's reference phono stageThe Aura MC is Rega's flagship phono stage. It is a fully adjustable, fully balanced three-stage design dedicated exclusively to moving coil (MC) cartridges and made in England. It was developed without compromise, with the aim of recovering all the information held in a record groove, and is the natural partner for the Planar 10, the Naia and the flagship Aphelion 2 cartridge.Nothing superfluousRega deliberately added no functions that do not contribute to the sound, so the signal path is never burdened. The large, purpose-designed enclosure, weighing 13 kg, houses a regulated power supply with a large toroidal transformer and offers both unbalanced (RCA) and balanced (XLR) outputs.Reviews and warrantyThe Aura MC has earned five stars from What Hi-Fi? and The Ear, an Editor's Choice from Hi-Fi Choice and a Best Buy from AVForums. Jason Kennedy described it as a clearly top-notch phono preamplifier. It is covered by Rega's Lifetime Limited Warranty against confirmed manufacturing defects.

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 Aethos
No compromise, for faithful reproductionThe Rega Aethos is an integrated amplifier without compromise, with one goal: faithful reproduction of music. Hand-built in England in a new custom case, it follows a dual mono architecture and delivers 125 W per channel into 8 Ω and 156 W into 6 Ω, using four 160 W Sanken output transistors per channel. It is a purely analogue amplifier, for systems where every link in the chain matters.The evolution of the Elex-R and Elicit-RThe Aethos builds on the experience of the award-winning Elex-R and Elicit-R but raises the bar at every point: a discrete class A FET line stage, polypropylene capacitors in the signal path, Rega K-Power capacitors and a regulated power amplifier supply. Rega invested heavily in circuit design and construction, using components of the highest specification.Recognised by the international pressSince its launch, the Aethos has won successive What Hi-Fi? awards as the best stereo amplifier in its class (2020 to 2024), a Hi-Fi Choice group test win (2024) and a Stereo+ Product of the Year award. It is the ideal partner for Rega's Planar 10 turntable and the Isis and Valve Isis CD players.

Reference turntable with ceramic bracing, RB3000 tonearm and PL10 power supply
Inspired by the Naiad
The Planar 10 belongs to Rega's Reference series and is inspired by the Naiad, the company's laboratory turntable. According to Rega it is the first production turntable to use ceramic bracing, which provides an exceptionally rigid mount for the RB3000 tonearm and the custom main bearing. This version comes in matt Polaris grey, with the PL10 PSU power supply, and is supplied without a cartridge. It is hand-built in England.
Main bearing and dust cover
The low-mass sub-platter is machined from aluminium and carries a hardened tool steel spindle running in a custom brass housing. The assembly is mounted so as to limit the energy stored in the plinth. As on the Planar 8, the outer frame has been dropped in favour of a single-piece removable dust cover, for even lower weight.
Cartridge and system
The Planar 10 pairs ideally with Rega's Apheta 3 or Aphelion 2 moving coil cartridges and a phono stage such as the Aura MC. Rega recommends amplifiers such as the Aethos and Osiris. It has received accolades from Stereophile, Hi-Fi Choice (Editor's Choice), Hi-Fi World (Best Turntable 2020) and What Hi-Fi? (5 stars).
Skeletal plinth with ceramic bracing
The Planar 10 plinth is the most extreme application of Rega's low-mass philosophy in the Planar range. Any material that is not essential is removed, so there is no mass to store energy and return it to the stylus.
Tancast 8 and HPL
The core is Tancast 8 polyurethane foam sandwiched between two layers of High Pressure Laminate. The plinth is 30% lighter than that of the RP10 and at the same time more rigid. The skeletal shape, which follows the outline of the tonearm and platter, further reduces mass and the surface area that can resonate.
Ceramic DB bracing
Double Brace technology here gains a ceramic top brace, combined with a phenolic bottom brace. Together they form a stressed beam between the tonearm mount and the main bearing. The ceramic material is exceptionally stiff for its weight, so the critical section linking the stylus to the record spindle becomes almost immovable without adding overall mass.
The result
Less stored energy means fewer unwanted resonances and a cleaner background from which the fine detail of a recording can emerge. Stereophile described the Planar 10 as detailed, very quiet and extremely precise, with solid stereo image focus, while The Ear called it a significant step up from the Planar 8.
Finish
The matt Polaris grey HPL surface is durable and understated, while the single-piece smoked dust cover follows the clean, skeletal outline of the turntable without a heavy outer frame. It is a design that puts performance first, with nothing added for show.
RB3000 tonearm
The RB3000 succeeds the RB2000 and is one of the most advanced tonearms Rega has ever made. Every unit is assembled by hand by the company's technicians.
Bearings matched one by one
Bearings are individually selected to fit precisely with the spindle they will work with. The preloaded bearing is adjusted to a tolerance of less than one thousandth of a millimetre, for almost friction-free movement with no play. This lets the stylus follow the finest groove modulations, resulting in more detail.
Fewer joints, no adhesive
The RB3000 structure has very few mechanical joints and uses no adhesive at all, so there are no points that absorb or store energy. The low-mass vertical bearing improves stiffness and reduces friction, while the redesigned aluminium arm tube uses redistributed mass for greater rigidity.
Hand-finished
The arm tube is polished by hand and left unpainted. The arm has an integrated anti-skating mechanism, a cueing lever, an arm clip and 3-point cartridge fixing. Its 11 g effective mass and Rega's standard geometry allow it to work with top moving coil cartridges such as the Apheta 3 and Aphelion 2, both of which Rega offers as factory-fitted options on the Planar 10.
Wiring
The internal wiring is fitted by hand, and the aluminium arm tube is cast under very high pressure for outstanding rigidity. Together with the matched bearings, this gives the RB3000 its precise, stable tracking.
Ceramic platter and PL10 PSU
The heart of the music, as Rega puts it, is the combination of an exceptionally accurate platter with a motor that turns with absolute stability.
Diamond-cut ceramic oxide
The platter is made from ceramic oxide powder that is compressed, fired and diamond-machined for perfect flatness. Its shape provides a flywheel effect, while improved coupling to the sub-platter ensures accuracy and stable speed. The particular stiffness of ceramic contributes to a clean, controlled presentation with deep, well-defined bass.
Motor and belt
The 24 V low-noise synchronous motor is mounted from below, a method taken from the Naiad, and hand-tuned to its own PL10 power supply. The EBLT belt uses a special rubber compound that Rega developed over three years and is produced on precision tooling so that it is round and dimensionally accurate.
PL10 power supply
The PL10 PSU, in its own custom case, uses a DSP generator based on a crystal reference to drive the motor. It reduces motor vibration and offers electronic switching between 33⅓ and 45 rpm, as well as user fine speed adjustment. The separate box keeps the power supply and its interference away from the turntable, and Diapason called the Planar 10 one of the best turntables it had heard at any price.
Power supply size
The PL10 PSU measures 21.8 x 8 x 32 cm and weighs 3 kg, so it fits easily next to the turntable or on another shelf of the system rack.
