Following its highly anticipated debut at The The Bristol Hi-Fi Show, the Rega Planar 6 RS is officially in production.

The "Rega Special" (RS) treatment has already proven to be a massive hit with the Planar 3 RS, a deck we frequently recommend to customers seeking the absolute best performance for their money. The new Planar 6 RS takes that high-value philosophy even further, bridging the gap to the high-end range by packing premium Planar 8 components into the classic P6 chassis. It is quite simply a "super-charged" version of one of our favourite turntables.

Key Features:
RB880 tonearm with custom stainless balance weight
Nd9 Reference MM factory fitted as standard
CNC Twin drive motor pulley
Tancast 8 foam core plinth with HP laminate and metal skin
Dual Layer float glass Opti-white clear platter
Custom matched Neo Mk2 turntable power supply
Twin Reference EBLT drive belts
24v synchronous low noise precision motor
Double Brace Technology
Smoked dustcover supplied as standard
Lifetime warranty against manufacture defects

Priced at £2000, and arrives early April.

It’s hard to believe a year has passed since our Michell & PMC Open Day! We spent the day puting the then-new Michell Apollo & Muse Phono Stage through its paces alongside the iconic Gyro SE and Orbe SE turntables and PMC Prophecy speakers.

Since that event, the Apollo has gone on to dominate the headlines with glowing reviews from Hi-Fi+, The Ear, and Hi-Fi News. It sounds absolutely fantastic paired with the new Michell Revolv and Gyro decks. Meanwhile, the PMC Prodigy range has just celebrated its first birthday by scooping up multiple ‘Best in Class’ titles at the What Hi-Fi? Awards. Want to hear this award-winning synergy for yourself? Drop by the showroom!

Take a look at the video we put together to see a snapshot of the event. We’d love to hear what kind of event should we host next at HiFiSound.

Back in March we held a very special event at HiFiSound in Stockton with Michell Audio & PMC. On display we featured newly launched Michell Apollo & Muse Pho...

The wait is over! After stealing the show at Bristol, the Rega AOS has officially landed at HiFiSound.

This isn't just another phono stage; it’s a "Reference in a half-width chassis." By distilling the high-end circuit topology of the flagship Aura into a more compact form, Rega has created the ultimate gateway to moving coil perfection.

Why the AOS is a game-changer:

Reference Pedigree: Built using the same "No Compromise" Class A philosophy as the award-winning Aura.

Pure Analogue: Zero digital control circuitry for the lowest possible noise floor.

Total Versatility: Fully adjustable loading to get the absolute best out of any MC cartridge.

Ready to Upgrade? We’ll Help You Get There!

Swap your current phono stage for the latest and greatest from Rega. We offer fair, expert valuations to help you bridge the gap to reference-grade sound.

Experience it for yourself:
