We decided early on that instead of an evolution of the previous RP8, the new Planar 8 was to be developed and engineered to encapsulate the essence of 'Naiad' at an affordable price. Our aim was to deliver a level of performance far beyond what has been achieved at this price point before. Every aspect of the Planar 8 is engineered to extract as much detail from the vinyl surface as possible. We have used the most advanced materials and engineering solutions built around a supremely lightweight plinth to ensure the greatest level of performance." - Rega π KEY FEATURES motor type: belt-drive operation type: fully manual phono preamp: n/a speeds: 33 RPM, 45 RPM tonearm shape: straight counterweight setting: yes anti-skate setting: yes VTA / height adjustment: n/a detachable headshell: n/a platter material: glass outputs: RCA phono removable RCA: yes dust cover: yes, hinged dimensions: 16.5" (w) x 4.9" (h) x 12.4" (d) / 420 x 315 x 125mm weight: 9.5 lb / 4.2 kg π¦ COMES WITH dust cover
