Every aspect of the Planar 8 is designed to extract as much detail as possible from the surface of the vinyl record. Rega has used the most advanced materials and engineering solutions built around an extremely lightweight base to ensure the highest level of performance. The Planar 8 comes standard with the new RB880 tonearm and Neo MK2 power supply which offers electronic speed change, advanced anti-vibration control, and user-adjustable fine speed control to ensure precision and total control over the motor.
