Witness the Magic of the Revolutionary RB220 Tonearm The third version of Rega’s classics is intended for a new generation of vinyl lovers. What impression will it have on older vinyl lovers? Aside from the rubber feet there’s no real attempt at isolation here, so you’ll need to use a rigid, level support. Ideally, it’ll be positioned well away from the speakers too. All turntables, even those with elaborate suspension systems, benefit from such an environment. The upper mid-range also seems to have just that tiny but more shimmer. Sam Beam’s effortless vocals on Iron and Wine’s magical ‘Beast Epic’ album had a little more air around them, making the presentation a little more realistic.Hub bearing - The Planar 2 has a new 11mm self-securing brass bearing (Patent Pending) offering improved fit and less stress on the bearing preventing the transfer of potential energy. The tolerance of the RB3000 tonearm is so tight that no adhesive is used at any point throughout the construction. Our latest low mass, precision engineered, vertical bearing assembly has been manufactured to further complement the inherent design philosophy of the Planar 10 turntable. A new 24v low noise, low vibration motor assembly is employed along with a freshly designed bearing housing to offer an improved fit and greater rigidity whilst reducing internal stresses. This has also been designed to remove potential energy problems from the plinth.

The RB3000 also uses our latest award-winning, aluminium, Rega arm tube (each one of which is meticulously hand polished, keeping mass to an absolute minimum) which was redesigned to redistribute mass and further reduce stresses and resonances. This advanced design tube increases the stiffness and rigidity of the overall assembly whilst reducing stress on the bearings even further. Some users have reported a hum or buzz in the speakers when using this turntable. Here is the solution: For many people from the analog generation, Rega is a synonym for a good sound and solid hi-fi from a mid-size British manufacturer, the one that has produced the most devices that have become history. Rega is best known for its good turntables, but its other devices – amplifiers and CD players – met the same expectations we have been accustomed to this brand in the middle of the seventies. At this time, the first model of the legendary turntable Planar 2 appeared, whose third generation we have the opportunity to test in this post.Innovative Design Elements: Glass platter, drive belt system, and low noise motor for superior sound b. Screw the balance weight along its shaft until the stylus is “floating” just 1mm clear of the record. Optional lid / plinth protectors - supplied to prevent marks on the plinth and keep it looking its best.
