Vinyl Record Player Rega Planar 8 Ania (Polaris Grey)

Rega Planar 8 Ania (Polaris Grey)

Your entry into the world of audiophile pleasure begins with the Rega Planar 8 Ania vinyl turntable. Inspired and inspired by Rega's legendary Naiad, this turntable is a sophisticated blend of elegant design and high technology that will exceed your expectations.

Each element of the Rega Planar 8 Ania is specially designed to maximize the extraction of detail from the vinyl surface. Using advanced materials and engineering solutions, we have created an extremely lightweight cabinet to achieve the highest level of performance. With the Rega Planar 8 Ania, you get the new RB880 tonearm and Neo PSU, which provide electronic speed change, advanced anti-vibration control, and the ability to customize the electronic speed control for absolute precision and control over the motor.

With the Rega Planar 8 Ania, you'll get the best sound possible thanks to the removal of the previous model's outer frame. A new, one-piece cover has now been introduced, which not only gives it an elegant look, but also helps to reduce the overall weight of the turntable, improving its performance. Rega engineers have successfully combined high-quality materials and advanced technology to create a device that will satisfy even the most discerning audiophile. Designed with every detail in mind, the Rega Planar 8 Ania sets new standards in sound reproduction, delivering an unparalleled musical experience to every high-end audio enthusiast.

The Rega Planar 8 Ania is defined as an innovative vinyl turntable that incorporates cutting-edge technology into its design. Its construction is based on the use of the latest Tancast 8 polyurethane core developed for the aviation industry. This material is sandwiched between two layers of HPL (high-pressure laminated film), which results in a skeleton platter that is 30% lighter, yet significantly stiffer than the previous RP8 model. This technological integration contributes to improved acoustic efficiency and high-quality sound. The Rega Planar 8 Ania embodies a harmonious blend of aesthetics and functionality, making it the perfect choice for audiophiles looking for the highest quality sound reproduction in their audio system.

The thin-walled platter, along with the phenolic resin brace, provides a rigid "stressed beam" design to prevent energy absorption and unwanted resonances that can add adverse distortion to music.

The Rega Planar 8 Ania vinyl turntable has set a new benchmark for high-end audio equipment, combining aesthetic appeal with technological innovation. Its unique design and the use of advanced materials make it exceptional in the audio market. One of the key features is the RB880 tonearm, which impresses with its efficiency and accuracy of sound reproduction. An important aspect is the improved vertical bearing, which increases the stability of the turntable. The use of low weight aluminum tooling not only improves performance, but also provides outstanding stability. The compact and elegant design of the Rega Planar 8 Ania is complemented by technical excellence, making it the perfect choice for audiophiles who appreciate the highest sound quality and unrivaled design.

Another important element is the drive belt, developed over three years, which uses a new rubber alloy to achieve exceptional module stability (a constant representing the degree to which a substance has a particular property, especially elasticity).

The Rega Planar 8 Ania uses a new low mass center bearing, aluminum subplatter and steel spindle, all working in a copper housing. This new mount is designed to eliminate unwanted potential energy that can be transferred or stored in the platter.

One of the key features of this turntable is the three-layer glass platter, developed in collaboration with a recognized British company specializing in the production of glass materials. This platter is made using two different high quality glass plates from Pilkington, which guarantees a high degree of stability and minimal resonance. This approach to construction helps to achieve exceptional sound quality, ensuring the clarity and detail of music reproduction. This player is a work of art, where innovative technology and excellent design come together to satisfy the most demanding audiophiles.

A scientific approach to the weight of the player allows for as much mass as possible to be retained on the outer edge of the player, creating a flying wheel effect, while keeping the interior of the player as light as possible without sacrificing rigidity.

The Rega Planar 8 Ania is powered by a new, synchronous, low-vibration 24V motor that provides a higher level of vibration isolation than ever before. This unique mounting method, adopted straight from the Naiad line, eliminates any impact on the motor housing, resulting in less vibration and a more rigid mount. Each motor is manually tuned to the specific Neo PSU to optimize the anti-vibration circuit.

The Neo PSU offers a stable power supply, an advanced anti-vibration system and precise electronic speed control. It utilizes an RP10 DSP oscillator based on a highly stable crystal.

The DSP oscillator will divide the precise signal from the crystal into the right frequency to rotate the player at the selected speed. It also generates a near-perfect sine wave to drive the motor. Together with the efficient amplifier, a balanced 24 V signal is provided, which is completely unaffected by any changes in the mains voltage. This is due to the anti-vibration circuit located under the turntable.

You deserve the best, and the Rega Planar 8 Ania is designed to exceed your expectations in the world of audiophile audio. Be a part of this exceptional vinyl record experience and experience music in its purest form. Step into the future of audio with the Rega Planar 8 Ania!
