The Rega Planar 6 RS Edition represents a significant leap in performance, bridging the gap between the standard Planar 6 and the high-end Planar 8. This "Rega Special" edition retains the classic form factor and dustcover but incorporates elite engineering usually reserved for the tier above. Built on an ultra-lightweight Tancast 8 foam core plinth with a unique aluminum HP laminate skin, it provides a rigid, low-resonance foundation for its advanced components. The RS Edition comes factory-fitted with the precision RB880 tonearm and the multi-award-winning Nd9 moving magnet cartridge, both expertly aligned for immediate high-fidelity playback. Accuracy is further enhanced by a hand-tuned 24v motor driving an aluminum sub-platter via a CNC twin drive pulley and dual Reference EBLT drive belts, all governed by the included Neo MK2 PSU.

Rega Reference EBLT Upgrade Drive Belt

Custom made premium Reference EBLT drive belt. Fitted as standard to all Planar 8 and Planar 10 turntable models from March 8th 2021. The Rega Reference EBLT drive belt is the culmination of many years of R&D and advanced tooling trials. The most accurate drive belt they have ever produced, the Reference EBLT is now fitted as standard to all Planar 8 and Planar 10 turntable models as standard. The Reference belt is suitable for all Rega turntables but highly recommended for the Planar 6 and any Planar 3 using the Rega Neo TT PSU. Each belt is moulded on Rega's highly accurate custom tooling using a unique secret blend. Once moulded, the belts are cryogenically frozen and barrelled to remove any excess flash in order to create perfect cross sectional roundness which is critical for accurate speed and stability. In normal use and conditions, the lifespan of the EBLT drive belt is 50% longer than the previous model. All Reference belts go through a unique curing process which guarantees the highest achievable level of accuracy. Technical Specifications: Rega Drive Belt: Reference EBLT monomer Diameter / cross sectional roundness: Improved stability / Speed accuracy Lifespan: 50% longer lifespan than a polychloroprene belt Advanced curing process: Improved consistency in modulus of material
