Rega Planar 8 Turntable

Posted by The Sound Organisation on Oct 15th 2018

We're Delighted To Introduce You To Rega's Latest Turntable, The Planar 8

The new planar 8 was inspired by Rega's reference turntable, the 'Naiad'. Rega decided early on that as opposed to an evolution of the previous RP8, the new Planar 8 would be more advanced and engineered to encapsulate the essence of 'Naiad' at a more attainable price.

From Rega:

The Planar 8 was inspired by the ultimate Rega turntable, the 'Naiad'. We 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. Our 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. We 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 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 previous model has now been removed and a new stylish, removable, single piece dustcover has been introduced further reducing the overall mass of the turntable.
