Description

The Rega Planar 8 Turntable with No Cartridge is an innovative product that pushes the boundaries and improves vinyl sound quality. It does not come with a pre-installed cartridge. This new feature gives audiophiles more freedom to choose their cartridge, adding flexibility. What sets The Rega Planar 8 Turntable apart from all others is how well thought out every part of its engineering process has been.

New Rega Planar 8 Turntable Absorption

The plinth is made from HPL (High Pres­sure Laminate) sandwiched around Tancast 8 foam. This effectively forms an energy absorbing box within an energy absorbing box and enables the plinth to float on a sub chassis sprung by the cooperation of three massive polymer compound feet coupled to the mass of the central bearing sub-assembly. Such a robust assembly and ultra light platform greatly reduce unwanted resonances caused by vibration.

Controlling unwanted movement between the arm and the plinth is most significant. Given this, alloy brackets connect the arm with the main bearing assembly. To insulate the tonearm from the plinth. Another layer consisting of two sheets of HPL sandwiching a Tancast 8 foam core is used for anti-vibration mounting plates.

A combination that is lightweight yet rigid enough will not tie down your moving coil cartridge too much, assuming it is freed from being just what they are.

High Quality Sound Reproduction With Enhanced Clarity

Any cartridge can be used with the Planar 8. This way, individuals can mould different characteristics according to their preference while others create various sound scapes depending on their liking.
