Precision, stability and musical calm — engineered for serious analogue listening
Rega Planar 6 Product Introduction
The Rega Planar 6 marks a decisive step into high-performance analogue replay within the Rega range.
While remaining faithful to Rega’s low-mass, high-rigidity philosophy, the Planar 6 introduces advanced materials and external electronic speed control to achieve a higher level of precision, stability and refinement.
At Authentic High End, the Planar 6 is often chosen by listeners who want a clear technical and musical upgrade over the Planar 3 — without moving to the skeletal reference designs of the Planar 8 and beyond.
Positioning Within Rega
The Planar 6 sits:
and represents the point where Rega’s turntables become decidedly reference-oriented, both in construction and performance.
It is designed for:
committed vinyl listeners
revealing analogue systems
those who value pitch stability, timing and composure
Design Philosophy: Advanced Materials, Same Core Belief
The Planar 6 continues Rega’s rejection of excessive mass, but introduces next-generation materials to further control resonance and energy flow.
Key principles include:
an ultra-light foam core plinth laminated with high-pressure skins
carefully positioned structural rigidity
minimised energy storage and rapid energy evacuation
The goal is not to add weight, but to increase stiffness without mass, allowing the cartridge to retrieve information with greater accuracy.
Neo PSU: Electronic Speed Control as Standard
The Planar 6 is supplied as standard with the Rega Neo PSU.
The Neo PSU provides:
This results in a calmer, more focused presentation, particularly noticeable on sustained notes, piano recordings and complex rhythmic material.
Tonearm & Mechanical Integrity
The Planar 6 is fitted with the RB330 tonearm, designed and manufactured in-house by Rega.
The RB330 offers:
In the context of the Planar 6’s advanced plinth and power control, the RB330 allows the cartridge to perform with greater confidence and stability.
Listening Experience
The Rega Planar 6 sounds:
notably more stable and composed than Planar 3 models
rhythmically precise and confident
quieter in background, allowing detail to emerge naturally
deeply engaging without analytical edge
Music feels more anchored and effortless, with improved separation and flow — especially in demanding passages.
Build Quality & Longevity
Despite its technical sophistication, the Planar 6 remains true to Rega’s practical ethos:
It is built to be enjoyed daily, not constantly adjusted.
System Integration
The Planar 6 integrates seamlessly into high-quality analogue systems:
excellent match with Rega integrated amplifiers and Linn Majik DSM or Selekt DSM
ideal partner for high-quality MM or MC cartridges
suitable for systems where vinyl is a primary source
At Authentic High End, the Planar 6 is often recommended when clients want a decisive step up in analogue performance, without moving to the skeletal Planar designs.
Why We Selected the Planar 6 at Authentic High End
We selected the Planar 6 because it delivers meaningful, audible improvements exactly where they matter:
speed accuracy
stability
musical composure
It stays true to Rega’s core values while offering a level of performance that satisfies even very experienced vinyl listeners.
