The Rega Planar 8 Turntable with Ania Pro MC Cartridge owes its design to Rega’s top-of-the-line turntable, the ‘Naiad’. Rega made a decision at the very beginning that rather than progression of the RP8 model. The new Planar 8 would be created and engineered to be the embodiment of ‘Naiad’ at a house-hold price. They were aiming to provide a level of performance previously unheard of at this price point
Rega Planar 8 Turntable with Ania Pro MC Cartridge
The Planar 8 design’s main focus is precision, purity, enhanced clarity, and outstanding sound reproduction. Their intention is that the turntables they manufacture would give the listener a lot of pleasure through sound that shows its depth with enhanced clarity. Plus, musicality, and outstanding sound reproduction.
The combination of Planar 8’s avant-garde features with the Ania Pro MC Cartridge version. Makes it possible to accurately identify all vinyl record grooves to the tiniest details of their sound.
Rega RB880 Tonearm
Mainly in every round, including the low maintenance point threshold intentionally built to avoid friction up to a completely balanced, individually composed, and manufactured RB880 tonearm, the Planar 8 exemplifies perfection. Its 24v low noise synchronised motor perfectly drives the table’s spin with exactitude and uniformity. It has incorporated the most recent materials and engineering techniques. Integrating with the lightest plinth possible to obtain the highest level of performance.
Hub bearing assembly
Planar 8 implements a new light weight central bearing assembly. Underneath the custom brass housing comes the spindle. Which is a single piece machined aluminium sub-platter and hardened tool steel spindle.
Super flywheel effect triple layer glass platter
Planar 8 laminated glass platter is a three piece collaboration with a British glass engineering company. The new platter is made of two different high-quality Pilkington glasses. As a rule of thumb, the only component of a turntable that needs additional mass is the turntable platter to enable it to reach a constant rotational speed.
On the other hand, a heavier platter gets the main bearing design more and more problem. Therefore, the great results are the best compromise solutions. But at the same time not to sacrifice the stiffness of the inside of the platter. Hence, keeping it as light as possible.
