The Planar 8 draws inspiration from Rega’s flagship ‘Naiad’ turntable, aiming to deliver its core performance qualities at a more accessible price. Rather than being an evolution of the RP8, it is a complete re-engineering focused on maximizing vinyl detail retrieval. Built around an exceptionally lightweight plinth and utilizing advanced materials and engineering techniques, the Planar 8 sets a new standard in its class. It comes equipped with the latest RB880 tonearm and Neo power supply, featuring electronic speed control, sophisticated anti-vibration technology, and user-adjustable fine speed tuning for precise motor accuracy. The previous outer frame has been replaced with a sleek, removable single-piece dust cover, further reducing the turntable’s overall mass.
