The Planar 6 RS is pretty much perfection

AV Forums

Classic styling, serious performer

Built around a lightweight foam core plinth sandwiched between high-pressure laminate layers, the Planar 6 RS is engineered to minimise resonance and unwanted vibration, allowing the stylus to trace the groove with greater accuracy and less coloration. The result is a presentation that feels clean, fast, and highly transparent, with excellent rhythmic drive and a strong sense of musical coherence.

At its heart is Rega’s low-noise 24V motor system paired with a precision sub-platter and bearing assembly, designed to deliver exceptional speed stability and reduced mechanical noise. This ensures that even dense or dynamic recordings remain controlled and natural, without smearing or timing drift.

High performance Rega Nd9 cartridge

The RS package is elevated further with a factory-fitted Rega Nd9 Cartridge, a high-performance moving magnet cartridge engineered for excellent tracking ability, low distortion, and finely resolved detail retrieval. It brings added openness and texture to the sound, revealing subtle information in recordings while maintaining Rega’s signature energy and musical drive.

A high-quality external power supply completes the design, helping to isolate the motor system for even smoother rotation and improved sonic stability.

Who is this for?

The Planar 6 RS Edition is for the audiophile who wants the Planar 6's celebrated performance elevated to a higher standard in every dimension — finish, motor matching, tonearm and cartridge — in a single, definitive package.

The brushed aluminium HPL plinth shares its heritage with the Planar 8, the RB880 tonearm brings a level of rigidity and tracking precision normally reserved for the upper range, and the included Nd9 cartridge and hand-tuned Neo MK2 power supply make this a genuinely complete high-end source. It's aimed at the listener who has a resolving system ready to receive it — a quality phono stage, reference-level amplification, and speakers that will expose everything the record contains.

It is a device I could happily use for the rest of my days, revelling over the performance and swooning over the looks. The Planar 6 RS is pretty much perfection and has to be seen as the current Best in Class.

This turntable combines the control of a high mass design with the speed and musicality that is the Rega hallmark, from here it looks like phenomenal value.

There’s an added quality to what you hear from the Planar 6 RS which is almost certainly down to the presence of the full plinth. And while you could be blunt and describe it as ‘colouration’, the reality is that it gives the Planar 6 RS an unmistakably ‘Rega’ sound that will win many people over.
