Elevate Your Vinyl Experience: The Rega Planar 8 Turntable
Inspired by the Legendary Naiad, Priced for the Passionate Listener.
At Skylabs, we believe that true audio fidelity shouldn't be a distant dream. The Rega Planar 8 turntable is a testament to this conviction, born from the ambitious goal of capturing the soul of Rega's ultimate turntable, the 'Naiad', and making it accessible to every dedicated vinyl enthusiast. This isn't just an upgrade to a previous model; it's a revolutionary leap forward, engineered to deliver a listening experience that far surpasses its price point.
A Masterclass in Engineering for Unrivaled Detail.
Every element of the Planar 8 is meticulously designed to unearth every nuance hidden within the grooves of your records. Rega has employed cutting-edge materials and innovative engineering, centered around a supremely lightweight plinth. This minimalist design philosophy ensures that every ounce of energy is dedicated to extracting the purest sound, free from unwanted resonance or vibration.
The Planar 8 comes equipped with the precision of the new RB880 tonearm and the stability of the updated NEO MK2 power supply. This pairing provides you with effortless electronic speed changing, sophisticated anti-vibration control, and the ability to fine-tune the speed for absolute accuracy. The result is a turntable that puts you in complete control of your listening experience.
Refined Aesthetics, Pure Performance.
In a move that is both stylish and functional, the outer frame of its predecessor has been removed in favor of a sleek, removable, single-piece dustcover. This not only enhances the turntable's modern aesthetic but also further reduces its overall mass, contributing to its remarkable performance.
Stunning Finishes to Match Your Style.
Choose the timeless elegance of the classic black or the striking modern look of the new matt white finish. The white Planar 8 is paired with a clear dustcover and a stunning triple-layer float glass platter, creating a visually captivating centerpiece for your audio system.
Please Note: All new Planar 8 turntables now ship as standard with the new and improved NEO MK2 power supply.
