Turntables — Rega PLANAR 6

The PLANAR 6 is a belt-drive turntable from Rega, sitting above the PLANAR 3 with the celebrated RB330 tonearm and a versatile choice of MM or MC cartridge options. The PLANAR 6 brings Rega's more accomplished current engineering to a serious analogue playback platform.

Key specs that matter

Two speeds are supported - 33 and 45rpm - via belt drive with a DC motor. The turntable comes pre-installed with the celebrated RB330 tonearm and a versatile choice of the Nd5 (MM), Nd7 (MM), or Ania Pro (MC) cartridge - a complete, factory-matched analogue front end spanning both cartridge types. At 447 x 120 x 360mm and 5.2kg, the PLANAR 6 maintains a manageable turntable chassis despite its more accomplished current engineering ambition.

Sound and use context

Expect exceptionally precise, detailed analogue playback reflecting the versatile cartridge choice spanning both moving-magnet and moving-coil options, representing Rega's more accomplished current turntable engineering ambition above the PLANAR 3.

Pairing

The pre-installed RB330 tonearm and choice of MM or MC cartridge come factory-matched, requiring no separate cartridge selection or alignment for immediate use.

Alternatives

Rega's own PLANAR 10 offers a considerably more accomplished flagship-adjacent alternative within the same broader Planar catalogue.
