Unlike belt-drive and other systems, direct-drive systems rotate the motor at low speed and directly drive the platter, thus providing numerous advantages, such as the almost complete absence of degradation in S\/N ratio due to motor vibration and deceleration mechanisms, as well as high reliability over a long period time because of not requiring parts replacement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnd in 2016, Technics developed the twin-rotor, surface-facing, coreless direct-drive motor with rotor magnets placed on both sides, thereby eliminating the rotation irregularity of the motor, referred to as \"cogging,\" which was a unique issue for direct-drive systems. This motor was adopted for the SL-1200GR, which once again drew a significant response in the hi-fi market. The SL-1200GR2 inherits the same design philosophy with the new development of a single-rotor, surface-facing, coreless direct-drive motor, resulting in the elimination of cogging.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"subhead margin\"\u003eHigh-precision Motor Control for Ideal Rotation Conditions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe rotation control, which verifies and corrects the precision of the motor, uses the latest motor control technology cultivated in the development of Blu-ray disc devices, just as that used by the SL-1200GR. Sine waves stored in ROM are used for the control waveforms at a constant speed, and this achieves smoother and more stable rotation compared with using the simple sine wave generation with an external coil as in the conventional SL-1200MK5. In addition, the electrical circuitry has had tuning performed so that the newly developed motor of the SL-1200GR2 achieves maximum performance. The starting torque achieves 2.2 kg x cm with only a single rotor.

To increase the inertial mass and reduce vibration, the shape of the aluminum die-cast portion was optimized by simulation. At 2.5 kg (including the rubber mat), the SL-1200GR2 platter is 0.8 kg heavier than that of the previous SL-1200MK5. Also, the back surface of the platter has strengthening ribs added to improve rigidity. Increasing the surface area of contact with the deadening rubber achieves damping characteristics that are more than twice those of the SL-1200MK5.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"subhead margin\"\u003eTonearm Achieving High Initial-Motion Sensitivity\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe tonearm tracks the rotation of the record and enables reading with high precision, and the tonearm inherited by Technics is the traditionally used static-balance universal S-shaped tonearm, employing an aluminum pipe with excellent light weight and rigidity for the material of the tonearm pipe.\u003cbr\u003eWith its gimbal suspension construction, the tonearm bearing section uses a cut-processed housing that employs high-precision bearings, as in the SL-1200GR.

This enables the grooves etched into the records to be accurately traced.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn addition, one type of auxiliary weight comes included, and the cartridge can be swapped with a variety of other cartridges to match the music genre or feeling.

While inheriting the technology of the SL-1200GR, the insulators have had tuning performed specifically for the SL-1200GR2.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlso, the installation section of the insulators is equipped with a vertical adjustment mechanism using screws. This eliminates the rattle that occurs when the turntable is installed in a rack or the like and prevents unwanted vibration.

The \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.audioadvice.com\/products\/rega-planar-3-turntable-black-1\"\u003ePlanar 3\u003c\/a\u003e is considered by many to be the best value in their line.

The catch was that this unit would only be available in 2023. It turned out to be just a super value turntable, and we were very sad to see it go. We are happy to announce that the Rega 3 RS Edition brings back the spirit of the anniversary edition in what may be an even better value!

They are simple, elegant, and built with real engineering. Since 1973, Rega has been building products in the Southend-on-Sea facility in the UK. What started as one man with Roy Gandy has now grown to over 100 employees. They even source about 85% of their raw materials from UK suppliers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThey are obsessed with manufacturing perfection and pay a lot of attention to tolerances, accuracy, and special materials. The build quality certainly shows through with their longevity. We still have customers bringing in 40 year and older turntables into our stores that just need a minor tuneup, and they are back in business for another decade.\u003c\/p\u003e \n\n\u003cp\u003eLike the Planar 3 50th Anniversary Edition, the Planar 3 RS Edition is close in price to the standard Planar 3. When you see all you get, you probably agree with us that this is a no-brainer if you are considering a Planar 3, and it’s probably one of the best values in turntables on the market today.\u003c\/p\u003e \n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"col_half\"\u003e\u003cimg style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; max-width: 100%;\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0572\/3281\/8260\/files\/PL3_RS_ND5_Front_LidOpen_Mat_Neo_3724.jpg\" alt=\"Rega Planar 3 RS Turntable with open lid and Neo PSU\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"col_half col_last\"\u003e\u003cimg style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; max-width: 100%;\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0572\/3281\/8260\/files\/PL3_RS_ND5_LSide_LidOpen_Mat_Neo_3720.jpg\" alt=\"Rega Planar 3 RS Turntable with open lid and Neo PSU\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"col_narrow\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"hp-title\"\u003eWhat Do You Get in the Planar 3 RS Turntable?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Planar 3 RS turntable includes Rega’s RB330 tonearm. The RB330 has fantastic bearings and some of the tightest tolerances you will see for its price range. Plus, it’s designed to be a perfect match for any Rega phono cartridge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eRega spent over 10 years developing a new line of moving magnet phono cartridges called the ND series. These are the first moving magnet phono cartridges to use Neodymium magnets. The new ND models are patent pending with tons of new high tech they have learned over the decades to extract more information from your record grooves. This is one of the big differences between the Anniversary Planar 3 and the new RS, as the RS comes with the middle model \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.audioadvice.com\/products\/rega-nd5-mm-phono-cartridge\"\u003eND5 cartridge\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEach ND5 is hand-built by expert Rega technicians for precision performance. It features a true elliptical nude stylus, for which Rega actually uses a grinding process to get the stylus to the perfect shape. A redesigned generator delivers exceptional channel balance, while the optimized pole gap enhances linearity and minimizes crosstalk, resulting in a noticeably wider soundstage. They even wind the coils inside the cartridge themselves using tightly wound 38-micron wire. This new lower inductance and impedance generator produces an outstanding high-frequency response for a moving magnet cartridge. Finally, they took some tech from their higher-end moving coil cartridges and used a glass-filled PPS body, which is both lightweight and rigid.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \n\u003cp\u003eWhen a company puts 10 years into developing a new design, you can bet the farm the improvement is quite significant, which we heard the first time we played around with the new ND5.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eRega has always had packages where you can save some money if you buy a Rega phono cartridge and turntable together. The standard Planar 3 gives you the option of the ND5 from their new ND series of cartridges.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \n\u003cp\u003eAnother thing we love about all of the better Rega cartridges is their three-point mounting system. Most phono cartridges just have two points, and you always wonder if you mounted the cartridge perfectly square, even when using a gauge. Rega’s three-point system takes the guesswork out, as it will be perfect every time when you install it on a Rega tonearm. With the Planar 3 series, the table comes with the cartridge pre-fitting and tested from their factory in the UK.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIf you’ve seen a Rega turntable, you’ve likely noticed the iconic float glass platter. Rega has been refining this design for over 50 years, starting with their very first models. The current Planar 3 features a 12mm polished opti-white float glass platter chosen for its superb rotational stability. This helps give it that perfect pitch, which helps you better hear the rhythm and pacing in your music, which has helped make Rega famous.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eRega’s double brace technology, initially developed for their higher-end models, is now a key part of the standard Planar 3. It couples the tonearm mount and main bearing with a lightweight aluminum brace, reinforcing rigidity exactly where it matters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThese are all the things in common with the Planar 3 and the Planar 3 RS. Currently, the Planar 3 with an ND5 is $1595. The Planar 3 RS is $1795, so let's see all the extras you get for $200.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"col_full\"\u003e\u003cimg style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; max-width: 100%;\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0572\/3281\/8260\/files\/11-DSC09508.jpg\" alt=\"Rega Planar 3 RS Turntable\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"col_narrow\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"hp-title\"\u003eRega Planar 3 50th Anniversary Edition Extras\u003c\/h3\u003e    \n  \u003ch2 class=\"subhead margin\"\u003eTuned Neo PSU MKII\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRega introduced an external speed control unit with the Planar 6 turntable called the Neo PSU. This lets you quickly switch from 33 to 45 with the push of a button and offers fine-tuning of the speed. They later improved this to the Neo MKII. It also comes in a nice case that matches the look of other Rega audio gear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIf you know much about audio, external power supplies and controllers usually add another level of performance to gear, which is no exception with the Neo MKII.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Neo MKII uses technology to help reduce motor vibrations and provide a more consistent speed. On the Planar 3 RS, the motor and Neo MKII are hand-tuned by an engineer on each one to reduce motor vibrations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis is an option available as an upgrade to the regular Planar 3, and most people hear a pretty big difference when they add one. It takes the sound people love about Rega, which is that intimate, live sound, and moves it up a notch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Neo MK II PSU currently sells for $445 if you buy it as an option for a Planar 3, but it is included with the new Planar 3 RS.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 class=\"subhead margin\"\u003eCNC Machined Drive Pulley\u003c\/h2\u003e \n\u003cp\u003eRega developed a special CNC machined motor drive pulley for the Planar 6. This is even more precise in shape than the standard Planar 3 pulley. And as you guessed, it comes standard with the Planar 3 RS. Rega does not sell this separately, but if we had to take a guess, we think it would be around $100.\u003c\/p\u003e    \n\n\n\u003ch2 class=\"subhead margin\"\u003eReference EBLT Drive Belt\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA while back, Rega went on a quest to develop a new type of belt for their turntables. When you think about it, this is a really key part that could cause speed inconsistencies if the belt stretched or got out of shape. Like they usually do, they took this to the extreme and worked with a team of chemists to find a new belt material. Then, they designed their own special cutting machine to manufacture the belts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAfter each belt gets this precision cut, it is frozen cryogenically and barrelled to remove any possible remnants from the cutting process. They want this belt to be as round as possible. Getting to this level of perfection means you will have better speed, accuracy, and stability. Plus, they found out this new material lasts 50% longer than their older type, lowering your maintenance costs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThere are two different versions of this new EBLT drive belt: the Advanced model and the Reference model. The Reference one gets a more expensive curing process, producing an even more perfectly round belt.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe current Rega Planar 3 comes with the Advanced model, and if you want to buy the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.audioadvice.com\/products\/rega-reference-eblt-drive-belt\"\u003eReference belt\u003c\/a\u003e as an upgrade, it costs $75.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIf you are reading between the lines, you have probably figured out the Planar 3 RS comes with the Reference belt.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \n\u003ch2 class=\"subhead margin\"\u003eNew Aluminum Skin\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Planar 3 RS gets a never-before-seen finish on a Rega turntable, dark brushed aluminum. This thin skin covers their HPL laminated plinth and adds an extra level of rigidity compared to laminate. Plus, it looks super cool! Like the higher-end models, you also get a smoked dust cover with the Planar 3 RS.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWe are not really sure what the extra cost of the aluminum skin is, but we do know this special dust cover is an option for the Planar 3 and sells for $135.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSo let’s get out our calculator. $445 for the Neo MKII, $100 for the pulley, $75 for the belt, $135 for the dust cover and an unknown for the better plinth. Those add up to at least $755 in upgrades for only $200 more! As we said, it is a no-brainer if you are considering the Planar 3 and also what has to be one of the best deals out there in turntables.  Our only wish would be if they offered the Planar 3 RS with more cartridge options as part of the package as it is so good, many people might want to opt for the Rega ND7 or even the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.audioadvice.com\/products\/rega-ania-pro-moving-coil-cartridge\"\u003eAnia moving coil\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e   \n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"col_half\"\u003e\u003cimg style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; max-width: 100%;\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0572\/3281\/8260\/files\/PL3_RS_ND5_Onside_Screen_Closeup_3863.jpg\" alt=\"Rega Planar 3 RS turntable detail view\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"col_half col_last\"\u003e\u003cimg style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; max-width: 100%;\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0572\/3281\/8260\/files\/PL3_RS_custom_pulley_3860.jpg\" alt=\"Rega Planar 3 RS turntable detail view\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"col_narrow\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"hp-title\"\u003eHow Does the Planar 3 RS Turntable Sound?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe had a chance to compare the Planar 3 RS to the standard Planar 3. We have to say, the ND5, which is on both of them, makes more of an improvement than anything else when we think about how the older cartridges sounded. It's also getting very good press and being lauded as the best moving magnet in its price range. It is clearer, tracks better, is more dynamic, and to us, has less surface noise.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhen comparing the two, we felt the sound just flowed better with a more relaxed feeling. The best turntables in the world strive for extreme speed consistency, which is what we think makes a recording sound more like live music. You get that sense of excitement and can better hear what the musicians are trying to portray. Almost all of the upgrades in the Planar 3 RS Edition over the standard Planar 3 are about better speed consistency. That is what we heard when comparing the two, just more of that live feeling. We even felt there might be a tiny bit more bass impact due to the aluminum skin, but we also may have been fooling ourselves as they were very close there.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"col_full\"\u003e\u003cimg style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; max-width: 100%;\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0572\/3281\/8260\/files\/16-DSC09514.jpg\" alt=\"Rega Planar 3 RS turntable detail view\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"col_narrow\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"hp-title\"\u003eOverall Recommendation\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe are so happy Rega decided to revive the special deal the 50th Anniversary table was with the new Planar 3 RS.

By these measures, the level of performance clearly outperforms the usual standards of its class. The SL-1200GR invites more audio enthusiasts to enjoy music with the rich, robust sound of analog records.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCoreless Direct-Drive Motor Achieving Stable Rotation\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn 1970, Technics commercialized the world‘s first direct-drive turntable, and the system took the world by storm. Unlike belt-drive and other systems, direct-drive systems rotate the motor at low speed and directly drive the platter, thus providing numerous advantages, such as the almost complete absence of degradation in S\/N ratio due to motor vibration and deceleration mechanisms, as well as high reliability over a long period time because of not requiring parts replacement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnd in 2016, Technics developed the twin-rotor, surface-facing, coreless direct-drive motor with rotor magnets placed on both sides, thereby eliminating the rotation irregularity of the motor, referred to as \"cogging,\" which was a unique issue for direct-drive systems. This motor was adopted for the SL-1200G, which once again drew a significant response in the hi-fi market. The SL-1200GR inherits the same design philosophy with the new development of a single-rotor, surface-facing, coreless direct-drive motor, resulting in the elimination of cogging.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHigh-precision Motor Control for Ideal Rotation Conditions\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe rotation control, which verifies and corrects the precision of the motor, uses the latest motor control technology cultivated in the development of Blu-ray disc devices, just as that used by the SL-1200G. Sine waves stored in ROM are used for the control waveforms at a constant speed, and this achieves smoother and more stable rotation compared with using the simple sine wave generation with an external coil as in the conventional SL-1200MK5. In addition, the electrical circuitry has had tuning performed so that the newly developed motor of the SL-1200GR achieves maximum performance. The starting torque achieves 2.2 kg x cm with only a single rotor. The same startup time of 0.7 s (at 33 1\/3 rpm) as the SL-1200G has been achieved.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePursuing Rigidity and Vibration Damping Characteristics\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe platter achieves high rigidity and vibration damping characteristics by using a two-layer construction with deadening rubber applied to the entire rear surface of the aluminum die-cast to eliminate the unnecessary resonance that is otherwise relayed to the record, thereby producing clear sound.\u003cbr\u003eTo increase the inertial mass and reduce vibration, the shape of the aluminum die-cast portion was optimized by simulation. At 2.5 kg (including the rubber mat), the SL-1200GR platter is 0.8 kg heavier than that of the previous SL-1200MK5. Also, the back surface of the platter has strengthening ribs added to improve rigidity. Increasing the surface area of contact with the deadening rubber achieves damping characteristics that are more than twice those of the SL-1200MK5.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTonearm Achieving High Initial-Motion Sensitivity\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe tonearm tracks the rotation of the record and enables reading with high precision, and the tonearm inherited by Technics is the traditionally used static-balance universal S-shaped tonearm, employing an aluminum pipe with excellent light weight and rigidity for the material of the tonearm pipe.\u003cbr\u003eWith its gimbal suspension construction, the tonearm bearing section uses a cut-processed housing that employs high-precision bearings, as in the SL-1200G. The high initial-motion sensitivity of 5 mg or less is achieved through manual assembly and adjustment by skilled Japanese artisans. This enables the grooves etched into the records to be accurately traced.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn addition, one type of auxiliary weight comes included, and the cartridge can be swapped with a variety of other cartridges to match the music genre or feeling. (Applicable cartridge weight when using the supplied auxiliary weight: 10 - 16.4 g (not including the supplied headshell))\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHigh-quality Terminals for Both Sound and Appearance\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe turntable uses gold-plated phono terminals for detachable cables, and so a wide variety of cables can be selected. Also, the use of metal shielding construction inside the case reduces the effects of external noise.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHigh-rigidity Body and High-damping Silicon Insulators for Smooth Sound and Isolation from Various Vibrations\u003cbr\u003eThe SL-1200GR ensures high rigidity by using a body with a two-layered construction solidly unifying the BMC and the aluminum die-cast chassis. For the insulators supporting the body, as with the SL-1200G, the SL-1200GR uses special silicon rubber that ensures both high vibration damping characteristics and long-term reliability. Vibration in the horizontal direction is absorbed by reinforcement with cylindrical tubes using microcell polymers. While inheriting the technology of the SL-1200G, the insulators have had tuning performed specifically for the SL-1200GR.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlso, the installation section of the insulators is equipped with a vertical adjustment mechanism using screws. This eliminates the rattle that occurs when the turntable is installed in a rack or the like and prevents unwanted vibration. In addition, the exact horizontal adjustment of the platter and record surface reduces rotation irregularity due to slanting, thereby enabling more stable record playing.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Technics","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45319444135959,"sku":"TECHNICS:SL-1200GR-SLV","price":270.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0806\/0639\/6439\/files\/5ap8agjdmdpl_eba659e9-a135-4c39-b541-307aa7ed8e1f.jpg?v=1784649934"},{"product_id":"rega-planar-6-rs-special-edition-turntable-nd9-cartridge-brushed-aluminum-532zht","title":"Rega Planar 6 RS Special Edition Turntable - ND9 Cartridge - Brushed Aluminum","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"col_narrow\"\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 class=\"subhead margin\"\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRB880 tonearm with custom stainless balance weight\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNd9 Reference MM factory fitted as standard\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCNC twin drive motor pulley\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTancast 8 foam core plinth with HP laminate and metal skin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDual layer float glass Opti-white clear platter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCustom matched Neo MK2 turntable power supply\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwin Reference EBLT drive belts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e24 V synchronous low noise precision motor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDouble Brace Technology\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSmoked dustcover supplied as standard\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 class=\"subhead margin\"\u003eClassic Styling, Serious Performer\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Rega Planar 6 RS Edition is constructed using a unique Tancast 8 foam core plinth finished with an aluminium metal skin HP laminate with matching edging.

The tonearm will automatically move to the lead-in groove of the selected record size. Once playing, the automatic tonearm functions are entirely disengaged until the arm reaches the lead-out groove. At the lead-out groove, the tonearm will automatically lift and return to the arm rest and the turntable will shut down. Because the automatic functions are entirely mechanical, they bear no influence over sound quality during playback!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 class=\"subhead margin\"\u003eImproved Tonearm \u0026amp; Gimbal Bearing\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe A2 automatic record player features an ultra-low-mass 8.3″ aluminum tonearm.

Its mass greatly reduces unwanted resonance and isolates the turntable from external vibration. The A2 then employs a system wherein the tonearm, platter bearing, and motor are affixed to a separate, floating sub-chassis. This isolates the most critical components of the turntable from external noise, resonance \u0026amp; interference. This can be especially advantageous when, for example, your loudspeakers are near your turntable in proximity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 class=\"subhead margin\"\u003eMassless Tracking Force Adjustment\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDamping the counterweight makes the tonearm as a whole more robust. It also decouples the counterweight from the tonearm which reduces resonant frequencies. Tracking force is set by adjusting a precision spring (as from the wristwatch industry!) affixed to the tonearm bearing. This keeps the center of gravity directly above the bearing center.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 class=\"subhead margin\"\u003eWhy a Suspended Sub-Chassis Design?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe automatic mechanism is sizable and comprised of many parts.

As its name sounds, Wow is a slow cyclical speed variation. The most severe example is the sound of a severely warped record, where the stylus travels faster on the rising side of the warp and slower on the descending side, causing abrupt changes in musical pitch. Flutter is what we call very fast and small variations that are usually generated by the motor. The C 588 addresses both of these problems with proven and effective solutions. A specialized, high precision, synchronous clock motor is both very smooth and accurate, especially when driven from a stable AC voltage. To ensure a clean and stable AC voltage we isolate the AC Mains by first converting it to a clean DC voltage, and then electronically generating the precise AC frequency to regulate the synchronous motor. Using a specially formulated belt to drive the platter further filters and isolates any remaining vibration. All rotating parts are made from aluminum alloy machined to very tight tolerances to eliminate any eccentricity or vibration in the drive system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTONEARM AND CARTRIDGE\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe C 588 features a custom designed carbon fiber tonearm shaft with a fixed metal head shell and features a decoupled counterweight and magnetic anti-skate compensation. An Ortofon 2M Red cartridge is factory installed and offers superb tracking and a delicately nuanced full range sound. The C 588 uses a longer than usual 9” tonearm to optimize overhang and reduce the tracking angle error. To perfectly align the stylus we include adjustments for azimuth and vertical tracking angle, and include a gauge to calibrate the alignment, a rarity at this price point.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCLOSING THE TRIANGLE\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo fully realize the micro-dynamics of music requires a very tight mechanical coupling of the platter and the tonearm. This forms a triangle, as vibrations can travel from record being played, to the platter, through the shaft and bearing to the base (plinth), up the arm mount through the arm pivot and down the arm to the cartridge and stylus. There are many separate parts in this path and some of them are required move relative to one another through mechanical bearing interfaces. If there is any play in these mechanical interfaces musical energy will be lost. This why NAD has paid strict attention to precision machining, assembly, and testing that is so important in a turntable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eRESONANCE CONTROL AND ISOLATION\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReducing all spurious vibrations to a minimum is critical to getting the best result when playing vinyl. Since these vibrations can come from various sources, both internal and external, the materials and dimensions must all be carefully calculated reduce and balance all the resonances to prevent a buildup of energy at particular frequencies. To isolate external vibrations from the loudspeakers or footfalls bouncing the floor, we use a massive MDF base with specially tuned vibration damping feet, along with a thick non-resonant dust cover.

The Gyrodec has been improved over the years and is still offered by Michell Engineering to this day.

Their turntable history dates back to the 1960s, when they manufactured broadcast-grade direct-drive tables for Japanese radio stations that had to perform flawlessly day after day. That background in precision engineering shapes how they approach every product they make, including the DP-500BT.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe DP-500BT actually draws some design inspiration from Denon's current flagship, the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.audioadvice.com\/products\/denon-dp-3000ne-direct-drive-turntable\"\u003eDP-3000NE\u003c\/a\u003e, including its minimalist two-tone matte finish and S-shaped tonearm profile.

It looks clean and modern without leaning into retro aesthetics, which means it fits as naturally into a contemporary living room as it does a more traditional one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe build is solid. The platter is die-cast aluminum, which gives it the mass and rotational stability you want for consistent speed. The cast metal feet absorb vibrations from whatever surface the table is sitting on, which matters because a turntable stylus is extraordinarily sensitive and will pick up any vibration it encounters, not just what is in the record groove.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is in the box:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTurntable and platter (packed separately)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFelt platter mat\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePre-installed moving-magnet cartridge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRCA cables with signal ground wire\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAC power adapter with regional plug adapters\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRemovable dust cover with hinges\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col_full\"\u003e\u003cimg style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; max-width: 100%;\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0572\/3281\/8260\/files\/Denon-DP-500BT_Lifestyle-008.jpg\" alt=\"Denon DP-500BT Turntable on a shelf\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col_narrow\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"hp-title\"\u003eBelt-Drive: Why It Matters at This Price\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe DP-500BT uses a belt-drive system, meaning the motor is physically separated from the platter by a rubber belt. That separation keeps motor vibration out of the playback path in a way that direct-drive designs at this price struggle to match.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDirect-drive turntables have real advantages. They get up to speed almost instantly and let you manipulate the record by hand, which is why DJs love them. But for someone sitting down to listen to music, that motor sitting directly under the platter introduces noise that a belt-drive sidesteps.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere are some very strong direct-drive turntables out there, particularly at the higher end of the market where the motor technology is sophisticated enough to close that gap. At this price though, belt-drive is where we would point most listeners.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnother reason belt-drive tends to perform well is platter mass. Once a heavy platter gets up to speed it tends to hold that speed consistently without the constant micro-corrections that direct-drive motors make. Wow and flutter is the measurement used to quantify those speed inconsistencies, and the lower the number the better. Denon specs the DP-500BT at 0.1% WRMS, and the die-cast aluminum platter is doing real work to hit that number.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe have a \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.audioadvice.com\/blogs\/expert-advice\/belt-drive-vs-direct-drive-turntables\"\u003efull video\u003c\/a\u003e on belt-drive versus direct-drive turntables if you want to go deeper on this topic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"hp-title\"\u003eTonearm \u0026amp; Cartridge\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe tonearm is a static-balanced S-shaped design, which helps keep the cartridge better aligned with the groove as the arm travels from the outer edge of the record to the inner grooves, reducing tracking error in the process. It is a well-proven approach that works well for a turntable at this level.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe tonearm uses a universal headshell that twists and locks in place. When you are ready to upgrade the cartridge, you simply twist off the headshell and drop in a new one. No tools, no complicated alignment process from scratch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe included cartridge is a moving-magnet design with a spherical stylus, model DSN-85. A spherical tip is the most durable and easiest to set up, which makes it a smart choice for a table at this level. It will get you listening immediately and track your records safely. When you are ready to hear what this tonearm is actually capable of, dropping in a cartridge with an elliptical stylus will be a noticeable improvement in detail retrieval and groove tracing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col_half\"\u003e\u003cimg style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; max-width: 100%;\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0572\/3281\/8260\/files\/Denon-DP-500BT-Studio-Images-01.jpg\" alt=\"Close up of Denon DP-500BT Cartridge\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col_half col_last\"\u003e\u003cimg style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; max-width: 100%;\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0572\/3281\/8260\/files\/Denon-DP-500BT-Studio-Images-12.jpg\" alt=\"Close up of Denon DP-500BT Tonearm\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col_narrow\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"hp-title\"\u003eSetting Up the DP-500BT\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSetup takes about fifteen minutes.

When the record ends, the tonearm lifts and the platter stops on its own. You still manually lower the tonearm onto the record to get things started, so the experience of playing a record is the same. It just saves you from having to be in the room when the side ends, which is a real convenience if you want to walk away or doze off on the couch without worrying about your stylus sitting in the run-out groove and wearing it down to the point where it needs replacing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"subhead margin\"\u003eSpeed Options: 33 1\/3, 45, and 78 RPM\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe DP-500BT supports all three speeds. The 78 RPM option does not get talked about much but it is a real differentiator at this price. A lot of turntables skip it entirely because it is a smaller market, but if you have older shellac records or you are into collecting early 20th century pressings, this turntable can play them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e78 RPM records are cut with a wider groove than modern vinyl and actually prefer a spherical stylus to track properly. The included spherical stylus works well for 78s, and if you want a dedicated 78 setup, you can keep a second headshell mounted with a 78 stylus and swap between them in seconds thanks to the universal headshell design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"subhead margin\"\u003eBuilt-In Phono Preamp\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe DP-500BT has a built-in switchable phono preamp. If you are connecting to powered speakers or an amp without a dedicated phono input, you need the preamp switched on. It handles the RIAA equalization and brings the cartridge's low-level signal up to something your other equipment can use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you are going into a receiver that already has a phono stage, or if you want to run a separate outboard preamp, you flip the switch and send the raw phono signal straight out the RCA outputs instead. The built-in stage sounds perfectly decent for casual listening and will not hold you back at this level. But that bypass switch means when you are ready to upgrade, something in the $200 to $400 range can make a real difference and the DP-500BT is already set up to accommodate it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col_full\"\u003e\u003cimg style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; max-width: 100%;\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0572\/3281\/8260\/files\/Denon-DP-500BT_Lifestyle-009.jpg\" alt=\"Denon DP-500BT Turntable\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col_narrow\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"subhead margin\"\u003eBluetooth Streaming\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe DP-500BT has built-in Bluetooth with aptX, aptX HD, and aptX Adaptive support. These are the higher-quality codecs that get you closer to CD quality over a wireless connection, assuming the device you are pairing with also supports them. Standard Bluetooth defaults to SBC, which compresses the signal aggressively. aptX HD is a meaningful step up, and aptX Adaptive goes further with variable bitrate up to 24-bit\/96kHz on compatible hardware.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow to pair it:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlug the turntable in\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePress and hold the Bluetooth button until the indicator light flashes blue and red\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePut your device into pairing mode\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe DP-500BT connects automatically\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA solid blue light confirms the connection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\nThere is a physical volume knob under the front edge of the platter for the Bluetooth output. The RCA and Bluetooth outputs also work simultaneously, so you do not have to choose one or the other or disconnect anything when switching between them.\n\u003cp\u003eIt is worth understanding what happens when you use Bluetooth though. Vinyl is an analog format, and the moment you transmit wirelessly you are converting that analog signal to digital. If your goal is a pure analog signal path, cables will always give you a better result. Use Bluetooth when convenience is the priority and the RCA outputs when sound quality is.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"hp-title\"\u003eSound Quality\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe dropped the needle on John Mellencamp's \"Pink Houses\" and what stood out immediately was how well the DP-500BT held the rhythm and pace of the track. The mass of the die-cast aluminum platter combined with the belt-drive system keeps speed stable in a way that really comes through on music with a strong rhythmic foundation. It just sounds like vinyl is supposed to sound. The built-in phono stage is transparent enough that it is not holding anything back at this level.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"subhead margin\"\u003eHow It Compares: Denon DP-500BT vs. Pro-Ject Debut EVO 2\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.audioadvice.com\/products\/pro-ject-debut-evo-2-hi-fi-turntable\"\u003ePro-Ject Debut EVO 2\u003c\/a\u003e comes in at $799 and is worth mentioning as a comparison point. It has a carbon fiber tonearm, no Bluetooth, and no built-in phono stage. It puts everything into the analog performance side of the equation. If pure analog performance is the only thing that matters to you and you already have a phono stage, it is worth a look.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe DP-500BT costs $100 more and makes a different bet.

The DP-500BT streams wirelessly via Bluetooth with aptX, aptX HD, and aptX Adaptive support. For the best wireless audio quality, pair it with headphones that support the same codecs.

Like many of the audio startups of the time, Rega began in his garage, which turned out to be very close to their current factory in the UK. For 45 years, Rega has been all about producing very high value products that can also stand the test of time. It seems like almost once a month we see a very old Rega coming into our shop for an update to a new cartridge. We usually put a new belt on these and they are good for another long period of time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRega’s engineering staff has a different philosophy than many other HiFi companies. While many companies feel like they must produce new models every year or so just to keep things fresh, Rega only makes a change when they have discovered enough engineering improvements to make a big improvement in performance.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMany times this performance improvement results in an update to an older model. Over the last few years, this has been the case with the Rega turntable line up. We’ve seen the RP1 go the the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.audioadvice.com\/videos-reviews\/rega-planar-1-turntable-review\/\"\u003eP1\u003c\/a\u003e, the RP2 go to the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.audioadvice.com\/videos-reviews\/rega-planar-2-turntable-review\/\"\u003eP2\u003c\/a\u003e, and the RP3 move up to a \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.audioadvice.com\/videos-reviews\/rega-planar-3-turntable-review\/\"\u003eP3\u003c\/a\u003e. Based upon that information, you might think that we are moving from an RP8 to a P8 and the same thing is happening. \u003cstrong\u003eHowever, in this case, the new Planar 8 is actually based on Rega’s 40th anniversary no holds barred Naiad that sells for 45,000 US.\u003c\/strong\u003e Their engineers wanted to make a much more affordable version of the Naiad. The result of their design and research led them to a model that fell at about the same price range as the older RP8, so while it does replace it, it also has more performance upgrades than we usually see when Rega upgrades a model!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRega is well known for the high performance phono cartridges and usually bundles them with their tables for a decent savings. This is the case with the Planar 8 as well. You can get it without a cartridge for $3,495, with their Ania moving coil for $4,145, with their Ania Pro moving coil for $4,475, or with their Apheta 3 moving coil for $4,945.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSince the Apheta combo is such a good deal, we used that set up for our testing in this review\u003cstrong\u003e.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"hp-title\"\u003eDesign \u0026amp; Build Quality\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSince the Planar 8 is based on the Rega Naiad, we thought it would be fun to spend a little time on the Naiad itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRega has always had 3 core design philosophies they adhere to on every turntable they make.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe first is to keep the platter spinning at the most constant speed possible. Secondly, Rega wants to minimize vibrations by using a very light and stiff subchassis designed to keep any external resonances from making their way into the table Finally, they want to deliver a tonearm\/cartridge combination that extracts as much information as possible out of your record grooves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen Rega designed the Naiad, they took most of this to the very extreme! First, they made the subchassis super small and constructed it out of hand carved carbon fiber. The bracing was made out of a lightweight ceramic material. The tonearm uses titanium in several places and they decided to use Zirconia for the hub, spindle, and bearing. It's no wonder this literal jewel of a turntable sells for almost $45,000!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col_half\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"Rega Naiad\" src=\"https:\/\/www.audioadvice.com\/wordpress2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/rega_naiad1.jpg\" style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; max-width: 100%;\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col_half col_last\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"Rega Naiad\" src=\"https:\/\/www.audioadvice.com\/wordpress2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/rega_naiad.jpg\" style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; max-width: 100%;\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col_narrow\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLike the Naiad, the P8 is a very unique looking turntable and far different than most of the other Rega models. \u003cstrong\u003eThis is due to the engineers trying to make the P8 as light and stiff as possible.\u003c\/strong\u003e To many, it will look like an audio work of art sitting in your system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAll Rega turntables are manual in design\u003c\/strong\u003e, which means you do all the work, but also get the great sound a manual turntable offers. You’ll need to turn it on, lower the tonearm on the record surface using the cue lift, then raise it when the record is over. This is typical for about 99.9% off all the good turntables in the world today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eYou will also need a phono stage for the P8 and most Rega tables.\u003c\/strong\u003e If you choose the Ania, Ania Pro, or Apheta 3, you will need one capable of handling a moving coil cartridge. Rega’s own Fono MC or Aria MK3 MM\/MC are great choices for a phono stage as they are perfectly matched to the Rega cartridges.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSome Rega tables give you a choice of colors, however, with the P8, it comes in just black. And unlike some other tables on the market that have a funky shape to them, the P8 does include a specially fitted dust cover. We must say though, we greatly prefer the look of the P8 with the dust cover out of sight!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBuild quality is super high and this is one fun table to take out of the box! The plinth seems almost weightless, while the glass platter carries considerable weight. The Planar 8 is one heck of a great design with first class build quality!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"hp-title\"\u003eFeatures \u0026amp; Technology\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.audioadvice.com\/videos-reviews\/rega-planar-6-turntable-review\/\"\u003eRega Planar 6\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e has been a popular table at Audio Advice since its release in 2018. For those of you considering the P6 and the P8, we will have a review comparing the two models very soon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRega is known for using lots of high tech materials in their designs to help your vinyl come to life. The new P8 is just full of materials and design ideas new to the audio world. We like to start from the bottom up on most turntable reviews and go out from there to tell you about the tech found in the Planar 8.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col_full\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"rega planar 8\" src=\"https:\/\/www.audioadvice.com\/wordpress2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/planar8_build-1024x502.jpg\" style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; max-width: 100%;\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col_narrow\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen Rega did the Planar 6, they came up with a new design for the feet. These are made from a super lightweight rubber material called Santoprene. \u003cstrong\u003eThe feet are hollow with reinforcement trim rings made of aluminum.\u003c\/strong\u003e Rega chose to use this same type of foot on the Planar 8 and we must say they are great keeping external energy away from the table.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe feet attach to a unique plinth design that comes from the learnings Rega discovered in the Niaid. It is a skeletal structure made out of a material that came from the aerospace industry, Tancast 8.\u003c\/strong\u003e The P6 was the first table from Rega to use this great new material. Tancast 8 is a polyurethane foam core sandwiched between two layers of black high pressure laminate. The engineers at Rega we have spoken to feel Tancast 8 is a breakthrough material for turntables. We expect we will see it in all of Rega’s new designs in the higher end price ranges. \u003cstrong\u003eOn the Planar 6, the edges of the foam core are covered in laminate, but to reduce mass even more, Rega leaves the edges naked in the Planar 8. Its like you can see a cutaway of Tancast 8 with this design.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRega uses a bracing design that couples the tonearm mount to the mount for the platter bearing and the Planar 8 does not deviate from this design.. In most of the other tables using this, the bracing is made out of aluminum. \u003cstrong\u003eBut for the Planar 8 they used a custom made phenolic resin aluminium skin brace. This great design reduces energy absorption and unwanted resonances from getting into the playback system.\u003c\/strong\u003e You’ll see other turntable makers use a huge, heavy plinth, while Rega takes the opposite approach, and we must say the proof is in the listening and their design comes to deliver an amazing clean sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col_full\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"rega planar 8 tonearm\" src=\"https:\/\/www.audioadvice.com\/wordpress2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/planar8_tone_arm-768x446.jpg\" style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; max-width: 100%;\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col_narrow\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen we move on to the hub and turntable bearing assembly, we once again see designs drawn from the Naiad. The subplatter which supports the main platter is machined from a single piece of aluminum. This is attached to a hardened steel spindle which sits inside a custom brass housing using a new design that filtered down from the Naiad. \u003cstrong\u003eThis new mounting design keeps energy from transferring down to the plinth.\u003c\/strong\u003e Rega also incorporated a similar hub and subplatter system in the new Planar 6.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMoving on to the platter, we find Rega’s classic glass platter design. \u003cstrong\u003eThe platter is super critical in keeping things spinning at a constant speed.\u003c\/strong\u003e One way to have good speed consistency is to use a very heavy platter, and as we all know, once something heavy gets moving, it tends to keep moving. However, a heavy platter can put more strain than is needed on the turntable bearing, so Rega uses a method to have the best of both worlds. \u003cstrong\u003eThe Planar 8 has a triple glass platter with most of the thickness on the perimeter of the platter.\u003c\/strong\u003e This gives a great flywheel effect for excellent speed stability, but keeps things lighter than if the whole platter was this thickness, very clever! The RP8 also used a triple glass platter as well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith the Naiad, Rega learned that isolating the motor to the nth degree can have a big impact on performance.. This new motor mounting principal is another design that derived from the Naiad. \u003cstrong\u003eUnlike most other Rega tables, the Planar 8 motor is mounted from the bottom using a new coupling technique.\u003c\/strong\u003e The bottom mount reduces stress on the motor and prevents unwanted energy transferring into the plinth. You’ll also notice the motor pulley has two precision slots for the dual belt system. Like the Planar 6, the Planar 8 comes with the Neo outboard speed control box. However, with the P8, each motor is hand tuned to the Neo that comes with it for even better speed stability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe engineering team at Rega has been doing some homework with chemists over the last three years to try and come up with a better material for turntable belts. \u003cstrong\u003eThis new type of belt is called the EBLT drive belt. Rega and the chemists came up with a special curing system that gives a more consistent elasticity which is pretty important in a turntable belt.\u003c\/strong\u003e The $40,000 Naiad uses 3 belts, so it was no surprise to see 2 on the Planar 8. The multi-belt system gives even better speed consistency. This is just another thing you don’t see, but that is going on behind the scenes to give you better sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Neo PSU speed control box is pretty interesting as well. It uses a specially designed DSP circuit that gets its reference from a very stable crystal. This can feed a perfect AC signal to the 24V AC motor. \u003cstrong\u003eThe beauty of this design is not affected by the power coming out of your wall, which as we all know can vary a lot over time. You’ll have perfect speed irrespective of how good or bad your AC power is over time.\u003c\/strong\u003e Rega then fine tunes the Neo to the motor in that exact Planar 8. Another advantage of having the motor speed control away from the turntable is the reduction in any possible noise. This idea is not new to Rega, as several high performance turntables have a separate power supply for the motor. The Neo also makes switching from 33 to 45 happen with just the push of a button.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe finally get to the tonearm, another new design called the RB880. The Planar 6 uses the RB330, the same arm found on the Planar 3, but the Planar 8 gets a jump to the RB880. \u003cstrong\u003eThis aluminum and stainless steel beauty has far better tonearm bearings than their other models, with tolerances down to 1000th of a millimeter!\u003c\/strong\u003e They also improved the bearing structure in the RB880. There is absolutely zero chatter in the bearing (a pet peeve of ours) and it just feels totally free of any friction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe also like the three point mounting system Rega incorporates in their better tonearms. When coupled with one of their higher performance cartridges, this assures you of a perfectly aligned cartridge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe phono cables coming out of the Planar 8 are of very high quality and even have locking RCA ends for a tight fitting connection. They are a hard wired connection all the way through, so they are not detachable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen you think about all this great new tech Rega put into the Planar 8, you can be sure it's going to be a great performer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"hp-title\"\u003ePerformance\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFor testing the Planar 8 we set up the new \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.audioadvice.com\/cambridge-audio-edge-nq-preamplifier.html\"\u003eCambridge Audio Edge NQ\u003c\/a\u003e preamp with the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.audioadvice.com\/cambridge-audio-edge-w-power-amplifier.html\"\u003eEdge W power amp\u003c\/a\u003e, with the new \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.audioadvice.com\/eat-e-glo-petit-phono-pre-amplifier.html\"\u003eEGlo Phono stage\u003c\/a\u003e from EAT.\u003c\/strong\u003e Rega will probably be mad at us for not using theirs, but we wanted to give this guy a whirl too! The speakers were the latest B\u0026amp;W 802s, with all Transparent cables.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs we were thumbing through our LPs to pick out what to listen to, we came across several classics (mostly from 1977-78) we had not played in a while so we decided to give them a shot. Before we started listening, we cleaned all of the records on the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.audioadvice.com\/audio-desk-vinyl-cleaner-pro-automatic-lp-cleaning-machine.html\"\u003eUltra Disc cleaning machine.\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe first track we tried was “Under the Boardwalk\/Sand In My Shoes” from the Persuasions’ \u003cem\u003eNo Frills\u003c\/em\u003e album. This was a very popular demo cut we used to play a lot back in the late 80s and it was fun to pull it out again. \u003cstrong\u003eThe very first thing that jumped out was the total silence in between the notes.\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eWe have found that as you move up to better and better turntables, the level of surface noise you hear goes down dramatically. The Planar 8 was outstanding in this regard!\u003c\/strong\u003e The only noise we ever heard was when there was a scratch on the LP causing a pop. The track is all acapella with lots of rhythm. The four male vocalists each stood out with fantastic sound staging. We were quickly tapping our toes to this great version of a classic song.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNext up was John Prine’s \u003cem\u003eBruised Orange\u003c\/em\u003e album from 1978 (the year Audio Advice opened for business). One of our all time favorite cuts is on this album: That's the Way That the World Goes 'Round”. \u003cstrong\u003eThis is full of great harmonies, but the true test is being able to hear the overdubbing of the recorders and being able to separate out the penny whistle playing at the same time. The bass track on this album can be over bloomed if the system is not right, but with the combination we had set up for this listening session, the sound was just magical.\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eEvery instrument stood out and the whole recording felt super energetic.\u003c\/strong\u003e We think this is one of the big pros of the Planar 8, the music just seems to come to life! Dynamics are incredible. Another thing about this recording is you need a cartridge\/tonearm combination that can track really well to make it through with no distortion. The combination of the new RB880 arm with the Apheta 3 tracks about as well as anything we have ever heard. It sailed through this and some of the other more difficult passages.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnd speaking of hard to track with lots going on, we pulled out The Neophonic String Band’s title album from 1977 on Direct Disk Labs. \u003cstrong\u003eThis one has lots of strings with several very hard to track vocal cuts but the Planar 8 just ate it up, making all of the instruments come to life.\u003c\/strong\u003e The harmonics on the strings were just rich as all get out on “Foggy Mountain Breakdown” and we never sensed any strain in the vocals on “In the Pines”. We also found ourselves tapping both feet to “Foggy Mountain Breakdown”!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFinally, we grabbed another Direct to Disc, this time from JVC Japan, Sugarloaf Express recorded in 1977. This album features Lee Ritenour and a host of other great jazz musicians. If you like jazz and run across this one in the used bins, be sure and pick it up. \u003cstrong\u003eThe title track starts out with some very dynamic percussion with lots of cymbal action. The Planar 8 put these right up front and crystal clear. In contrast to this, Ritenour’s electric guitar comes in very smooth and softly in the background before taking over. This was just beautiful with the Planar 8!\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou know you have a great system put together when all you want to do is pull out more vinyl and when other people coming into the room they just stop and listen, which is exactly what happened with this testing system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"hp-title\"\u003eOverall Recommendation\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs we said, you can get the Planar 8 in three versions. If you have a great cartridge already that will work with the RB880 arm, you might consider the model without a cartridge. However, we feel, the combination with the Apheta 3 is unquestionably the way to go. The cartridge mates perfectly with the RB880 arm and Rega’s method of turntable isolation used in the Planar 8. The sound that combo produces is full of energy, separates instruments amazingly well, tracks like crazy, and gives you a totally silent background. Plus it is just one heck of a lot of fun to listen to! It is a great example of British sound that is true to the music.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe also have reviews of the Rega \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.audioadvice.com\/videos-reviews\/rega-planar-1-turntable-review\/\"\u003ePlanar 1\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.audioadvice.com\/videos-reviews\/rega-planar-2-turntable-review\/\"\u003ePlanar 2\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.audioadvice.com\/videos-reviews\/rega-planar-3-turntable-review\/\"\u003ePlanar 3\u003c\/a\u003e, and \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.audioadvice.com\/videos-reviews\/rega-planar-6-turntable-review\/\"\u003ePlanar 6\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Rega","offers":[{"title":"No Cartridge \/ Black","offer_id":45319537786903,"sku":"REGA:PLANAR8-NOCART","price":509.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"No Cartridge \/ White","offer_id":45319537819671,"sku":"REGA:PLANAR8-WHT-NOCART","price":509.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Rega Ania MC \/ Black","offer_id":45319537852439,"sku":"REGA:PLANAR8-ANIA","price":524.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Rega Ania MC \/ White","offer_id":45319537885207,"sku":"REGA:PLANAR8-WHT-ANIA","price":621.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Rega Ania Pro MC \/ Black","offer_id":45319537917975,"sku":"REGA:PLANAR8-ANIAPRO","price":671.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Rega Ania Pro MC \/ White","offer_id":45319537950743,"sku":"REGA:PLANAR8-WHT-ANIAPRO","price":671.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Rega Apheta 3 MC \/ Black","offer_id":45319537983511,"sku":"REGA:PLANAR8-APHETA3","price":741.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Rega Apheta 3 MC \/ White","offer_id":45319538016279,"sku":"REGA:PLANAR8-WHT-APHETA3","price":741.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Rega ND7 MM \/ Black","offer_id":45319538081815,"sku":"REGA:PLANAR8-ND7-BLK","price":584.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Rega ND7 MM \/ White","offer_id":45319538147351,"sku":"REGA:PLANAR8-ND7-WHT","price":584.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Rega ND9 MM \/ Black","offer_id":45319538180119,"sku":"REGA:PLANAR8-ND9-BLK","price":630.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Rega ND9 MM \/ White","offer_id":45319538278423,"sku":"REGA:PLANAR8-ND9-WHT","price":630.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0806\/0639\/6439\/files\/jogsopbow1fv_91fe73e5-49d8-4d8f-b57c-b9aa674599fb.jpg?v=1784651740"},{"product_id":"pro-ject-x8-evolution-turntable-ntq3qb","title":"Pro-Ject X8 Evolution Turntable","description":"\u003cdiv data-content-type=\"html\" data-appearance=\"default\" data-element=\"main\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col_narrow\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"hp-title\"\u003eAudiophile Implementations\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe X8 turntable is a true high-end solution with major technical features adapted from the Xtension 9 and 10. The precision balanced platter is machined out of a single piece of aluminum and damped with a TPE (Thermo Plastic Elastomer) insert. The platter rotates on an inverted bearing with ceramic ball and PTFE thrust pad. To decrease the load on the bearing, an opposing neodymium magnet repels the platter from the plinth and bearing, ensuring smooth and quiet operation for decades to come.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe massive MDF chassis is supported by custom feet which are are CNC machined out of aluminum and are fully height-adjustable. They utilize TPE damping technology, very effectively decoupling the X8 from the surface it is placed on. The combination of mass and damping provide a very stable system, isolating the stylus from both airborne and structural vibrations, without being finicky to setup and remains stable and properly aligned over time. You hear your music, not the turntable. The 9cc EVO carbon tonearm utilizes inverted cardanic tonearm bearings, has four stainless steel tips mounted in ABEC 7 quality ball bearings mounted in a C-shaped section to minimize resonances. The low mass one-piece carbon fiber tonearm tube is crafted in a conical shape to minimize standing wave vibrations. The tonearm wire loom is one piece, from the cartridge to the 5pin DIN output, designed to allow either single ended or True Balanced phono connection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"subhead margin\"\u003eTrue Balanced – Get Blown Away\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWitching to balanced is no subtle upgrade and promises to redefine ‘reference’ sound quality in your turntable system.
