Rega Planar 6 Turntable This Second Hand REGA Planar 6 with Exact Cartridge and with the Neo PSU MK2 is a remarkable choice for audiophiles seeking to enhance their vinyl listening experience. Design and Build: The REGA Planar 6 is constructed with a unique ultra-light foam core plinth made from Tancast 8 polyurethane, originally developed for the aerospace industry. This core is sandwiched between high-pressure laminate (HPL), which is both exceptionally thin and rigid, ensuring minimal resonance. The plinth is finished in a stunning Polaris matt grey with a high gloss polymer black edge tr
The Rega Planar 6 stands out for its precise RB330 tonearm and minimalist engineering, delivering taut, rhythmic playback that punches above many pricier rivals. At AUD1,200 with unknown condition, this asking price is a clear bargain against our recent comparable AUD listings—median AUD2,234, ranging from 25th percentile AUD1,973 to 75th percentile AUD2,440—assuming it's a stock turntable without major mods.
Before biting, verify the bearing condition (listen for platter noise or drag) and power supply integrity, as these fail first on used Planars; also confirm inclusion of the Neo PSU if specified, original dust cover, and cartridge (stock Elys 2 is a baseline). Age over 5 years warrants a full service check.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Rega Research, founded in 1973 in Essex, England, by Roy Gandy and Tony Relph, emerged from Gandy's lifelong passion for vinyl playback. A Ford engineer and music enthusiast, Gandy built his first turntable, the Planet, in his spare time, blending the founders' surnames to create the Rega name. From humble beginnings in a derelict mill, the company quickly gained traction with early models like the Planar 2 and Planar 3, establishing its heritage as a British hi-fi pioneer dedicated to precision engineering and hand-assembly.
Rega specializes in turntables and tonearms, its cornerstone products, but has expanded into a full ecosystem including cartridges, integrated amplifiers like the Elicit and Brio, phono stages such as the Fono, and speakers like the Ela series. While early efforts included loudspeakers and electronics from the 1980s onward, the brand prioritizes vinyl-centric components over headphones, DACs, or cables, all designed in-house for musical fidelity using specialist materials and tight tolerances.
Rega holds a revered position in the high-end hi-fi market as a niche boutique icon, prized by audiophiles for affordable, lifetime-quality performance that emphasizes music over gimmicks. Globally exported to over 50 countries from its Essex facility employing more than 150, it remains a symbol of British ingenuity, with turntables like the Planar series securing enduring loyalty among vinyl revivalists.
