New Rega Planar 6

Fluid "sloshing around"? Are you sure you have the right stuff in the bearing well? The WT damping fluid is a thick silicon goo, which resembles molasses or honey. It doesn’t "slosh", it oozes. You can turn the cup sideways and not have the silicon run out. It HAS to be that thick to be able to perform it’s task.

He didn’t say "sloshed" he said spilled. I have setup half a dozen or so WTT and the fluid is indeed a pain. Yes, it is thicker and would seem to stay in place, but it gets everywhere if you’re not careful and the cleanup is messy.

Not one of my favorite tables nor arms. Sound quality is pretty good when setup correctly. Actually the table isn’t bad, but that arm.

The new Rega Planar 6 is SWEET!  I've recommended and setup several of these.  IMHO, one of the nicest tables around for that price.

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

I had a Rega RP-6 and now have a WT Amadeus Mk.ll. While I agree with a lot of what the OP said how the two compared in operation, the WT is a much better sounding table. I still think the P-6 is a cool table for the money. You can't go wrong in purchasing one. IMO.

Just to clarify— the Rega P6 was replaced recently by the Planar 6.  The Planar 6 has multiple improvements including a better tonearm, platter, “plinth” and power supply. Before the upgrade, the less expensive Planar 3, which came out a while ago, actually had a better tonearm than the next step up in the Rega line (which was the P6). Now the Planar 3 and 6 have the same tonearm. A little confusing.   My new turntable is the upgraded Planar 6.

You beat me to it.  The older RP (ARE-PEE) 6 and the new PLANAR (PLAY-NER) 6 are pretty different.  I told Roy Gandy many years ago how confusing the models number were, but oh well.

Not sure if you knew, but the company's name was formed of the initials of its two founders (Tony RElph & Roy GAndy).  Little trivia there.
