This is an expansion to the exceptional Planar 6 RS that substitutes the Nd9 moving cartridge with Rega's Ania moving coil cartridge and adds the Fono MC moving coil phono stage, providing a compelling value for customers who prefer moving coils.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eULTRA LIGHTWEIGHT PLINTH\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRega 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 foundations of the standard Planar 6 and upper tier skeletal range. The Planar 6 RS Edition uses the same premium HPL combined with the stunning RS brushed metal aluminium skin with matching edging.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eRB880 PRECISION TONEARM\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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 a Rega made, low capacitance phono cables terminated with high specification phono plugs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e24V AC SYNCHRONOUS MOTOR\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e24V low noise synchronous 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eREGA ANIA CARTRIDGE\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRega’s Moving Coil cartridge design is unique in its approach to achieving an ultra-low mass generator which is undamped (no tie wire) using a unique rhomboid pivot for the cantilever powered by a purpose designed, exclusive to Rega, Neodymium magnet system.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e This type of design requires a zero-tolerance engineered cartridge body which is Rega’s area of expertise and with the Apheta 3 and Aphelion 2 products these bodies are machined from one piece of the highest quality aluminum. This is a difficult and expensive process requiring all of Rega’s years of experience to achieve. In particular, the “zero” tolerancing of the body is required in the alignment and dimension of the pivot pad mounting hole and the magnet mechanism mounting hole relationship.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eDOUBLE BRACE TECHNOLOGY\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEqually, 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eNEO MK2 TURNTABLE POWER SUPPLY\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rega","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42642536824878,"sku":"REGA-P6-RS-AFS","price":3195.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0035\/4058\/2446\/files\/Screenshot-2026-08-18-105917.jpg?v=1787077550","url":"https:\/\/audioartcable.com\/products\/rega-planar-6-rs-afc-turntable","provider":"Audio Art Cable","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
