(Rega Special) adopts many key engineering features from the next tier Planar 8 model whilst retaining the classic Rega form factor and dustcover. The ultra lightweight high rigidity plinth makes the perfect platform to mount the precision RB880 tonearm, which is factory-fitted and expertly aligned with the multi-award-winning Nd9 moving magnet cartridge.
Designed using the latest 3D CAD technology, the RB880 is the result of almost 40 years of tonearm design experience. This tonearm features an aluminium vertical bearing housing, a redesigned sleeve and vertical bearing shaft (both manufactured from stainless steel) to improve mounting stability and overall rigidity. The advanced tonearm tube is designed using intelligent redistribution of mass, ensuring this arm will exhibit fewer points of possible resonance. The extreme levels of stability achieved, coupled with almost friction-free movement from the high-precision hand-matched bearing assemblies, guarantee to gather more information from your vinyl than ever before. You will also find Rega-made, low-capacitance phono cables terminated with high specification phono plugs.
Rega has pioneered the use of lightweight, rigid plinths over many years. Our unique, ultra-lightweight Tancast 8 foam core with a highly rigid phenolic resin skin (HPL) is the foundation of the standard Planar 6 and upper-tier skeletal range. The Planar 6 RS Edition uses the same premium HPL and features a stunning RS brushed-metal aluminium skin with matching edging.
24V low noise synchronous low voltage precision motor and PCB assembly, fitted with a custom CNC twin drive machined aluminium pulley. Each motor is hand-tuned to the Neo Mk2 PSU to minimise vibration and perfectly set speed.
Each Nd9 is meticulously hand-made by our highly skilled technicians. The Nd9 uses our most advanced “fine line” nude diamond profile, bonded to a Boron rod cantilever for maximum detail retrieval. This profile has an exceptionally small radius: a monocrystalline man-made diamond with a minor radius of just 3µm (microns) as viewed from the top and 30µm in the vertical when viewed from the front. This profile allows immediate adjustment to very small changes in the vinyl due to the small contact area of the diamond, which results in exceptional levels of detail being retrieved. The design uses brand new generator geometry with perfect symmetry to achieve highly accurate channel balance.
The Planar 6 RS Editions plinth is strengthened further using our double brace system. Mounted specifically where the increased rigidity is required (between the tonearm mounting and the main hub bearing) this forms a structurally sound “stressed beam” assembly. This rigid plinth design prevents energy absorption and unwanted resonance, which will add unnatural distortions to the music. Equally, a heavier mass can transfer more unwanted energy, such as motor or bearing noise, directly into the rotating record. The use of braces instead of the complete skin allows double-thickness phenolic resin in these key areas, which directly addresses the issue of mass absorption and unwanted energy transmission.
The Neo MK2 PSU is an advanced turntable power supply providing user-controllable fine speed adjustment, an advanced anti-vibration motor circuit, and the convenience of electronic speed change. The Neo MK2 vastly reduces motor noise and improves speed stability and rotational speed accuracy.
