New Rega Planar 6

@mofimadness +1

I've seen the spilled silicone of some friends' WTTs never really clean off.  Interesting, and in fact, unique product.  But not the rig for me.

Also strongly agree on the Planar 6

Having auditioned both generations, the current P6 now separates itself from the P3, and in my opinion, more than justifies the cost differential.  The previous generation RP6 seemed more like a upgraded RP3, and I questioned the additional cost

@etnier discussion of build quality and plinth ’sagging’

Hmmm...folks here have also called the RP8 out for sagging, so this very well may represent a design defect ala this foam material core. While it certainly expresses Rega’s philosophy of low-mass, I personally hold concerns about this material over the long-term.

Considering a new table, and both the RP8 and Technics SL1200GR have my attention, along with one or two others. But the foam core comes off as strange to me. Still, the table’s been in production for several years, and based on not hearing about it en masse, perhaps the issues have been fewer in number?
