I watched this twice before ordering, once a day while it was shipped, and again during my unboxing. This is fantastic- definitely helped and made set up a breeze. Thank you.

Took delivery of an RP6 today and found this video very helpful. My previous turntable was an RP1 (bought in the late 70s) and this model is a noticeable step up in every aspect.

Excellent setup video, thank you. Worth noting that the P6 is supplied with a smoked dustcover and the white belt has now been replaced with our latest black advanced EBLT drive belt (which is also used on Planar 8 and Planar 10 models).

This is a fantastic turntable! I've had mine about 2 years now...went with an AT33PTG/II which is a perfect match for the Rega RB330 arm. It never disappoints. Rega tables and arms are so dependable, and they're not made in Taiwan or China!!! Their QC is still as it was back in the day! LOVE REGA!!!!

One of the best turntables I've ever heard for the price!

Really appreciate a dedicated set up.over generic.

Es una tremenda tornamesa! Me cambie a esta desde una planar 2 y el cambio fue increíble (misma cápsula y mismo preamp) La recomiendo 100%

Just set up my new P6 with the help of this video. Made it easy, thanks.

How can it be that NO one is doing it the way Rega suggest in their manuals? They write: balance the tonearm, so it floats 1mm above the RECORD surface. If you do this, then be sure to have a blank sided record, so when you lift the arm towards the spindle, to see if it's clear of the surface? The blank sided record is for your safety, and if you do it this way, it's much more accurate then the way showing here. Cheers

My wife & I enjoy the Planar 6 with the Ania MC cartridge. Rule #1 don't play records with the dust cover on as it introduces rumble. Rule #2 enjoy the music.

I would like it if you gave a couple of recommendations for Phono Stage at an appropriate price point for the Planar 6.

Why do some videos say put anti skate with Exact 2 cartridge to zero or just under 1?

I am on the verge of buying my first turntable. Should I buy the Rega Planar 6 and Ania mc pro combo? It has good reviews and seems to be a good start? Thanks for the vid. I enjoyed it.

Surely behind the speakers is the best place

[adaboyz]

If you are getting hum, feedback, pops through your speakers when touching the tonearm move the power supply and player furthest away from the amplifier.

The arm looks cheap for the money, for that money I prefer a clearaudio.
