planar gallery Inspired by Rega’s flagship Naiad turntable, the Planar 8 is built around an ultra-lightweight Tancast 8 polyurethane foam core plinth, a material originally developed for the aerospace industry. This skeletal design, paired with a phenolic resin double brace system, creates a “stressed beam” assembly that maximises rigidity while minimising unwanted resonances. The RB880 precision tonearm features an advanced zero-tolerance bearing assembly, ensuring friction-free movement and exceptional stability. Coupled with the Neo MK2 power supply, offering electronic speed change and fine speed adjustment, the Planar 8 also boasts a triple-layer glass platter with a super flywheel effect for flawless rotational consistency. The innovative EBLT drive belt, crafted from a bespoke rubber compound, guarantees superior speed stability, making this turntable a standout in its class.
