Represents the state of the art for vinyl performance at the price, Very well made, Easy to setup and use
Not as 'pretty' as some other Regas, Won't always flatter poor pressings
Figures over Christmas for record sales suggested that we might (finally) have reached peak vinyl and the number of new arrivals into the medium is going to drop. This means that the future of the format is now about the ‘conversion rate' from people in t...
Rega's Planar 8 really advances the idea of what constitutes state-of-the-art vinyl playback at this price. Fitted with the Ania moving-coil cartridge it really hits the sweet spot of the format while the saving allows you to pick up the exceptionally tal...

Stunning sound, Expressive dynamics, Fine MC cartridge,
Design may not appeal to all,

Eine klangliche Offenbarung, Filigranes, unaufdringliches aber spannendes Designkonzept, Konzeptionell eigenständig
Der Antrieb kann auch bei aufgesetzter Abdeckung eingeschaltet werden
Rega Planar 8 mit Filzauflage. Mit Pucks sollte man vorsichtig pröbeln. Nicht zu schwer, ist die Devise. Im Test gings ohne.Der Planar 8 kostet 2590 CHF, dazu kommt noch der Tonabnehmer Apheta 2 für 1490 CHF. Das ist im Rückblick auf mein Klangerlebnis ve...
