SOUND ADVICE ‘BEST OF 2026’ Awards

Rega Mercury & Solis and the P6 RS turntable take the spoils.

The Mercury & Solis are masterpieces, and one of the very best of amp combos ever conceived

“Rega’s flagship amplifier is not simply the culmination of everything that they know about the business of making amplifiers (although it’s that too) and neither is it ‘only’ a beautifully built and comprehensively specified pair of devices. What they are is a physical manifestation of musical joy that will handle anything you throw at them without fear or favour and deliver it at any level you fancy and very little gets near them”.

Do you want the best turntable that £2000 will allow? Here's the answer...

“The Planar 6 RS is that rarest of products (in any category, not just hifi) where there is literally nothing to be said against it. Thanks to borrowing components from the Planar 8 it’s brilliant value for money and it delivers sensational performance without needing a moving coil phonostage to do it. Finally, it’s proportionally perfect; one of the prettiest turntables available at any price. This is the best turntable anywhere near this price point and a very worthy award winner”.
