Rega Dustcover for the Planar 8 and Planar 10

The Rega Dustcover for the Planar 8 and Planar 10

An acrylic dust cover made by Rega, sold singly, for the Planar 8 and Planar 10. It is a tabletop design — it covers the whole turntable and stands on the surface around it rather than hinging to the plinth.

That design exists because of what those two decks are. Both use a skeletal plinth with deliberately little material in it, and hanging a hinged cover off one would add mass at exactly the point Rega spent years taking it out.

Fit and Materials

Which Turntables

It fits the Planar 8 and the Planar 10. Both share the skeletal plinth and the same footprint this cover was cut around, which is why a single part serves the pair.

Why Tabletop Rather Than Hinged

A tabletop cover touches the shelf rather than the turntable, so nothing is bolted to the plinth and a knock on the cover does not travel straight into the arm.

The practical consequence is that you need clear space around the deck, not just above it. Measure the shelf rather than the turntable before ordering, because the cover has to land somewhere.

Who Is This Cover Best For?

• You own a Planar 8 or Planar 10 — Rega lists both for this cover
• Your deck has a skeletal plinth — an open design has more to protect, not less
• You want nothing attached to the turntable — a tabletop cover adds no mass to the plinth
• Your shelf has room around the deck — this stands on the surface, so it needs the footprint
• Your Rega is a P-series or a Planar 6 — those take different covers, listed in dustcovers

How Do You Fit It?

Lower it over the turntable so it rests on the shelf around the deck. Lift it straight up to remove — because it is not hinged, there is no arc to swing and no risk of catching the arm on the way past.

Pairs Well With

What most Planar owners keep alongside.

• Record brushes — a pass before each side, whatever the cover does
• Stylus cleaning — for the dust that reaches the stylus anyway
• Record mats — mat thickness affects the clearance under a cover
• Replacement styli — what settled dust costs in the end

Frequently Asked Questions

Will it fit my turntable?

Rega lists it for the Planar 8 and Planar 10. Other Rega turntables use their own covers.

How many do I need?

One, sold singly. It is a fitting rather than a consumable.

Does it need space around the turntable?

Yes — it is a tabletop design that stands on the shelf rather than hinging to the plinth, so measure the surface rather than the deck before ordering.
