Its aluminum cantilever is fitted with an elliptical diamond stylus and mounted to a high-tech PPS-Fortron body using Rega's unique rhomboid shaped pivot pad. As always, Rega cartridges are hand-built by Rega in the UK. \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eWhen Rega first announced the original Apheta phono cartridge in 2006, it changed the way people looked at moving coil design. Crafted without the \"tie-wire\" that plagued most every other MC cartridge, Apheta was iconoclastic like many Rega products. It was fast, clear, dynamic and insightful, garnering praise in many quarters of the high-end audio world. \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eIn 2015 and 2016, respectively, Rega pushed forward with new designs that brought about the reference Aphelion ($4995) and reborn Apheta 2 ($1895). These two cartridges are based on the original concepts, but with the benefit of almost ten years of experience and a complete overhaul of the cartridge manufacturing facilities. Now Rega can build moving coil cartridges with a level of precision, speed, reliability, and height of technology that the company could only dream about way back when. \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003ch4\u003eThe Revolutionary Ania MC Cartridge\u003c\/h4\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eHaving surmounted the challenge of perfecting the original and expanding their horizons, Rega set their eyes on fashioning a moving coil cartridge for less than half the price of the Apheta 2. Now, your first thought might be \"there's no way to preserve quality while lowering the price\", and if this weren't Rega you might be right. But Rega is a 40+ year specialist at making things better and more reasonably priced. \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eRega leaned hard on its engineers' expertise and its suppliers. The first challenge was to construct a new cartridge body that preserved that benefits and lowered the cost from the aluminum-bodied Apheta 2, a marvel in its own right. Here, computer modeling and expert tool making allowed Rega to build a body from PPS-Fortron, a sophisticated polymer-glass amalgam, that has a complex shape, keeping strength high, mass low, and unwanted resonances to an absolute minimum. \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003ch4\u003eUnique \"Tie-Wire\"-less Design\u003c\/h4\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eOf course, Ania would not be a Rega moving coil if not for its unique \"tie-wire\"-less design. The tie-wire was originally conceived as a method to secure the cantilever, but this introduces nasty resonances that have to be tuned-out with the undesired result of reducing detail and speed. Being the curious types and unwilling to compromise, Rega's engineers sought out a method that eliminates the pesky tie-wire. Thus was born the pivot pad, a rhomboid-shaped device that positively locates the cantilever, adds zero mass, improves strength, and allows free movement so that the stylus can more accurately track the groove. \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eThe generator is formed by a floating iron cross attached to the inner tip of the cantilever, hand-wound with incredibly fine ultra-high purity copper wire.

These parts, including the high-power neodymium magnet, are borrowed directly from the doubly-priced Apheta 2.

Rega decided early on that instead of an evolution of the previous RP8, the new Planar 8 was to be developed and engineered to encapsulate the essence of the Naiad at an affordable price.

This material is sandwiched between two layers of HPL (high pressure laminate). HPL is exceptionally thin and extremely rigid. This new construction makes the new Planar 8 skeletal plinth 30% lighter than the original RP8, while offering increased rigidity over the previous model.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eDB Technology (Double Brace Technology)\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eIt's been said, \"Mass absorbs energy, and lost energy equals lost music.\" A super lightweight plinth combined with a phenolic resin double brace mounted specifically where the increased rigidity is required (between the tonearm mounting and the main hub bearing) forms a structurally sound “stressed beam” assembly. This rigid plinth design prevents energy absorption and unwanted resonances which will add unnatural distortions to the music.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eEqually, heavier mass can transfer more unwanted energy such as motor or bearing noise directly into the rotating record.

This tonearm uses Rega's advanced preloaded zero-tolerance bearing assembly adjusted to less than 1000th of a mm, giving friction-free movement and zero levels of unwanted play. This subtle but effective new structure is only visible via small windows at the rear of the new bias housing assembly. A thinner stainless steel balance weight is used, allowing greater adjustability and compatibility. Finally, the RB880 is terminated with a redesigned, low capacitance phono cable terminated with high quality, locking phono plugs to ensure the best possible connection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eHub Bearing Assembly\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eThe Planar 8 uses a new low mass central bearing assembly. A single piece machined aluminum sub-platter and hardened tool steel spindle run inside a custom brass housing which is cleverly mounted within the chassis.

This platter is constructed from two different high quality Pilkington glasses. As a general rule, the only part of a turntable that requires extra mass is the turntable platter in order to achieve constant rotational speed. However, a heavier platter creates more problems for the main bearing design, so again an ideal compromise creates the best solution. Practically speaking, this means keeping as much of the mass to the outside rim of the glass platter to create more flywheel effect but keeping the inside of the platter as light as possible without sacrificing stiffness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e24v Low Noise Motor Assembly\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eThe Planar 8 uses Rega's latest generation, 24-volt synchronous, low vibration motor technology. Uniquely mounted, it uses the highest level of coupling while retaining higher vibration isolation than any previous model. This new motor mounting technique (mounted from the bottom) has been taken directly from the ultimate Rega turntable, the Naiad. This unique mounting method removes all stress on the motor body. The reduced vibration and more rigid mounting deliver superior drive from the new EBLT drive belts. Each motor is hand tuned to match its own custom Neo power supply before fitting to the turntable to optimize the anti-vibration circuit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eEBLT Drive Belts\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eFor three years Rega has been researching and developing with chemists the use of a new bespoke rubber compound for drive belts.

It uses the RP10 DSP (digital signal processing) generator built upon a high stability crystal. The DSP generator will divide the accurate signal from the crystal to the exact frequency required to turn the platter at the selected speed. The DSP generator will also produce a near perfect sinusoidal waveform to drive the motor. This, along with an efficient drive amplifier, generates a 24-volt, AC-balanced signal of less than 0.15% distortion, which is completely unaffected by any changes in the mains\/line voltage and conditions. This then drives the turntable's anti-vibration circuit, which is situated beneath the turntable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eOptional Ania MC Phono Cartridge\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eThe optional Ania MC moving coil phono cartridge is the perfect partner for the Planar 8.

Technical characteristics such as 'roundness' and 'parallel-ity' are critical. Over the past three years, Rega has found a new manufacturing process which improves on all these characteristics resulting in a micron perfect bearing fit. The RB3000 is the first Rega arm to benefit from these improvements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eThe entire tonearm structure is designed to have the minimum of mechanical joints while using the stiffest materials in all critical areas. The tolerance of the RB3000 tonearm is so tight that no adhesive is used at any point throughout the construction. Rega's latest low mass, precision engineered, vertical bearing assembly has been manufactured to further complement the inherent design philosophy of the Planar 10 turntable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eThe RB3000 tonearm uses Rega's advanced, preloaded zero tolerance bearing assembly adjusted to less than 1000th of a mm.

This material is sandwiched between two layers of HPL (high pressure laminate). HPL is exceptionally thin and extremely rigid. This new construction makes the new Planar 8 skeletal plinth 30% lighter than the original RP8, while offering increased rigidity over the previous model.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eDB Technology (Double Brace Technology)\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eIt's been said, \"Mass absorbs energy, and lost energy equals lost music.\" A super lightweight plinth combined with a phenolic resin double brace mounted specifically where the increased rigidity is required (between the tonearm mounting and the main hub bearing) forms a structurally sound “stressed beam” assembly. This rigid plinth design prevents energy absorption and unwanted resonances which will add unnatural distortions to the music.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eEqually, heavier mass can transfer more unwanted energy such as motor or bearing noise directly into the rotating record.

This tonearm uses Rega's advanced preloaded zero-tolerance bearing assembly adjusted to less than 1000th of a mm, giving friction-free movement and zero levels of unwanted play. This subtle but effective new structure is only visible via small windows at the rear of the new bias housing assembly. A thinner stainless steel balance weight is used, allowing greater adjustability and compatibility. Finally, the RB880 is terminated with a redesigned, low capacitance phono cable terminated with high quality, locking phono plugs to ensure the best possible connection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eHub Bearing Assembly\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eThe Planar 8 uses a new low mass central bearing assembly. A single piece machined aluminum sub-platter and hardened tool steel spindle run inside a custom brass housing which is cleverly mounted within the chassis. This new mounting is designed to eradicate unwanted potential energy being transferred or stored in the plinth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSuper Flywheel Effect Triple Layer Glass Platter\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eThe Planar 8 uses a three-piece laminated glass platter, which is the result of collaboration with a British glass engineering company. This platter is constructed from two different high quality Pilkington glasses. As a general rule, the only part of a turntable that requires extra mass is the turntable platter in order to achieve constant rotational speed. However, a heavier platter creates more problems for the main bearing design, so again an ideal compromise creates the best solution. Practically speaking, this means keeping as much of the mass to the outside rim of the glass platter to create more flywheel effect but keeping the inside of the platter as light as possible without sacrificing stiffness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e24v Low Noise Motor Assembly\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eThe Planar 8 uses Rega's latest generation, 24-volt synchronous, low vibration motor technology. Uniquely mounted, it uses the highest level of coupling while retaining higher vibration isolation than any previous model. This new motor mounting technique (mounted from the bottom) has been taken directly from the ultimate Rega turntable, the Naiad. This unique mounting method removes all stress on the motor body. The reduced vibration and more rigid mounting deliver superior drive from the new EBLT drive belts. Each motor is hand tuned to match its own custom Neo power supply before fitting to the turntable to optimize the anti-vibration circuit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eEBLT Drive Belts\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eFor three years Rega has been researching and developing with chemists the use of a new bespoke rubber compound for drive belts. Using a specialized curing system, the new drive belt offers superior consistency of modulus (a constant representing the degree to which a substance has a particular property, especially elasticity). These new belts are manufactured on Rega-designed, state of the art, super-accurate tools that produce 'perfectly round' and 'dimensionally accurate' belts, which are critical for perfect speed stability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eHigh-Stability Neo PSU with Electronic Speed Change\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eThe Neo PSU offers a smooth power supply, an advanced anti-vibration circuit, and fine electronic speed adjustment. It uses the RP10 DSP (digital signal processing) generator built upon a high stability crystal. The DSP generator will divide the accurate signal from the crystal to the exact frequency required to turn the platter at the selected speed. The DSP generator will also produce a near perfect sinusoidal waveform to drive the motor. This, along with an efficient drive amplifier, generates a 24-volt, AC-balanced signal of less than 0.15% distortion, which is completely unaffected by any changes in the mains\/line voltage and conditions. This then drives the turntable's anti-vibration circuit, which is situated beneath the turntable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eOptional Ania Pro MC Phono Cartridge\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eThe optional Ania MC moving coil phono cartridge is the flagship partner for the Planar 8. As the latest member of Rega's MC cartridge series, the new Ania Pro uses Rega's advanced Vital profile nude diamond stylus. This profile is designed to extract as much detail from the vinyl surface as possible. It delivers tight bass warm mid-ranges and accurate top end frequencies to offer well-balanced and detailed performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eUsing Rega's unique hand-wound micro coil, the Ania Pro is housed in a unique PPS highly rigid body, ensuring accurate construction and Rega’s three point fixing method.

It uses a unique rhomboid pivot for the cantilever powered by a purpose-designed, exclusive-to-Rega Neodymium magnet system. This type of design requires a zero-tolerance engineered cartridge body, which is Rega’s area of expertise and with the Apheta 3 these bodies are machined from one piece of the highest quality aluminum. This is a difficult and expensive process requiring all of Rega’s years of experience to achieve. In particular, the “zero” tolerancing of the body is required in the alignment and dimension of the pivot pad mounting hole and the magnet mechanism mounting hole relationship.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eConventional MC cartridges utilize a steel suspension system (tie wire) which creates a high amplitude H.F. resonance (normally around 8-12kHz). Such resonance is unacceptable and is usually damped by a rudimentary piece of foam rubber. However, the foam rubber deteriorates with age and cannot prevent the complete structure from vibrating and \"ringing.\" The specifics and adjustment of the tie wire and damping determine whether the cartridge is under damped (bright) or over damped (warm and bass heavy).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eA happy medium is rarely achieved. This encouraged Rega to pursue a new direction inspired by modern materials and the basic laws of magnetism. The Apheta 3 contains neither a tie wire nor a foam damper.

The outer frame of the previous model has now been removed and a new stylish, removable, single-piece dustcover has been introduced, further reducing the overall mass of the turntable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003e\"If you are looking for maximum musical intensity for your pound, dollar, or euro you will be very hard pressed to find a better turntable at anywhere near this price,\" reports Jason Kennedy, Editor of \u003cem\u003ethe-ear.net\u003c\/em\u003e in an October 2018 review. \"I am a Rega RP10 user myself but I’ve been hearing new things on this newcomer at nearly half the price, it truly is a triumph of analogue audio engineering.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eUltra Lightweight Plinth\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eThe Planar 8 is the second Rega turntable constructed using the company's latest ultra lightweight Tancast 8 polyurethane foam core (a material developed for the aerospace industry). This material is sandwiched between two layers of HPL (high pressure laminate). HPL is exceptionally thin and extremely rigid. This new construction makes the new Planar 8 skeletal plinth 30% lighter than the original RP8, while offering increased rigidity over the previous model.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eDB Technology (Double Brace Technology)\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eIt's been said, \"Mass absorbs energy, and lost energy equals lost music.\" A super lightweight plinth combined with a phenolic resin double brace mounted specifically where the increased rigidity is required (between the tonearm mounting and the main hub bearing) forms a structurally sound “stressed beam” assembly. This rigid plinth design prevents energy absorption and unwanted resonances which will add unnatural distortions to the music.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eEqually, heavier mass can transfer more unwanted energy such as motor or bearing noise directly into the rotating record. The use of braces instead of the complete skin allows double thickness phenolic resin in these key areas, while providing further weight reduction to the plinth which directly addresses the issue of mass absorption and unwanted energy transmission.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eRB880 Tonearm\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eFor the new RB880 tonearm, Rega introduced an improved vertical bearing assembly constructed using an aluminum and stainless-steel, low mass assembly with vastly improved stability and rigidity. This tonearm uses Rega's advanced preloaded zero-tolerance bearing assembly adjusted to less than 1000th of a mm, giving friction-free movement and zero levels of unwanted play. This subtle but effective new structure is only visible via small windows at the rear of the new bias housing assembly. A thinner stainless steel balance weight is used, allowing greater adjustability and compatibility. Finally, the RB880 is terminated with a redesigned, low capacitance phono cable terminated with high quality, locking phono plugs to ensure the best possible connection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eHub Bearing Assembly\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eThe Planar 8 uses a new low mass central bearing assembly. A single piece machined aluminum sub-platter and hardened tool steel spindle run inside a custom brass housing which is cleverly mounted within the chassis. This new mounting is designed to eradicate unwanted potential energy being transferred or stored in the plinth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSuper Flywheel Effect Triple Layer Glass Platter\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eThe Planar 8 uses a three-piece laminated glass platter, which is the result of collaboration with a British glass engineering company. This platter is constructed from two different high quality Pilkington glasses. As a general rule, the only part of a turntable that requires extra mass is the turntable platter in order to achieve constant rotational speed. However, a heavier platter creates more problems for the main bearing design, so again an ideal compromise creates the best solution. Practically speaking, this means keeping as much of the mass to the outside rim of the glass platter to create more flywheel effect but keeping the inside of the platter as light as possible without sacrificing stiffness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e24v Low Noise Motor Assembly\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eThe Planar 8 uses Rega's latest generation, 24-volt synchronous, low vibration motor technology. Uniquely mounted, it uses the highest level of coupling while retaining higher vibration isolation than any previous model. This new motor mounting technique (mounted from the bottom) has been taken directly from the ultimate Rega turntable, the Naiad. This unique mounting method removes all stress on the motor body. The reduced vibration and more rigid mounting deliver superior drive from the new EBLT drive belts. Each motor is hand tuned to match its own custom Neo power supply before fitting to the turntable to optimize the anti-vibration circuit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eEBLT Drive Belts\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eFor three years Rega has been researching and developing with chemists the use of a new bespoke rubber compound for drive belts. Using a specialized curing system, the new drive belt offers superior consistency of modulus (a constant representing the degree to which a substance has a particular property, especially elasticity). These new belts are manufactured on Rega-designed, state of the art, super-accurate tools that produce 'perfectly round' and 'dimensionally accurate' belts, which are critical for perfect speed stability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eHigh-Stability Neo MK2 PSU with Electronic Speed Change\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eThe Neo MK2 PSU offers a smooth power supply, an advanced anti-vibration circuit, and fine electronic speed adjustment. It uses the RP10 DSP (digital signal processing) generator built upon a high stability crystal. The DSP generator will divide the accurate signal from the crystal to the exact frequency required to turn the platter at the selected speed. The DSP generator will also produce a near perfect sinusoidal waveform to drive the motor. This, along with an efficient drive amplifier, generates a 24-volt, AC-balanced signal of less than 0.15% distortion, which is completely unaffected by any changes in the mains\/line voltage and conditions. This then drives the turntable's anti-vibration circuit, which is situated beneath the turntable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eOptional Ania MC Phono Cartridge\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eThe optional Ania MC moving coil phono cartridge is the perfect partner for the Planar 8.

Technical characteristics such as 'roundness' and 'parallel-ity' are critical. Over the past three years, Rega has found a new manufacturing process which improves on all these characteristics resulting in a micron perfect bearing fit. The RB3000 is the first Rega arm to benefit from these improvements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eThe entire tonearm structure is designed to have the minimum of mechanical joints while using the stiffest materials in all critical areas. The tolerance of the RB3000 tonearm is so tight that no adhesive is used at any point throughout the construction. Rega's latest low mass, precision engineered, vertical bearing assembly has been manufactured to further complement the inherent design philosophy of the Planar 10 turntable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eThe RB3000 tonearm uses Rega's advanced, preloaded zero tolerance bearing assembly adjusted to less than 1000th of a mm.

The use of braces instead of the complete skin allows increased thickness in these key areas, while providing further weight reduction to the plinth which directly addresses the issue of mass absorption and unwanted energy transmission.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eRB3000 Tonearm\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eRega is renowned for the quality of its tonearm bearing assemblies – in particular for the accurate manufacturing of its bearing housing and bearing spindles. Technical characteristics such as 'roundness' and 'parallel-ity' are critical. Over the past three years, Rega has found a new manufacturing process which improves on all these characteristics resulting in a micron perfect bearing fit. The RB3000 is the first Rega arm to benefit from these improvements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eThe entire tonearm structure is designed to have the minimum of mechanical joints while using the stiffest materials in all critical areas. The tolerance of the RB3000 tonearm is so tight that no adhesive is used at any point throughout the construction. Rega's latest low mass, precision engineered, vertical bearing assembly has been manufactured to further complement the inherent design philosophy of the Planar 10 turntable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eThe RB3000 tonearm uses Rega's advanced, preloaded zero tolerance bearing assembly adjusted to less than 1000th of a mm. This gives friction free movement and zero levels of unwanted play. Simply put, friction free bearings with no play enable ridges in the record groove of less than a micron to be read.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eThe RB3000 also uses Rega's latest award-winning, aluminum arm tube, which was redesigned to redistribute mass and further reduce stresses and resonances. Also, each arm tube is meticulously hand polished, keeping mass to an absolute minimum. This advanced design tube increases the stiffness and rigidity of the overall assembly while reducing stress on the bearings even further.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eHub Bearing Assembly\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eThe Planar 10 demonstrates attention to detail and modern CNC engineering advances. This allows new compromises, bringing Rega’s main bearing design closer than ever to the unachievable ideal. The Planar 10 uses a new low mass central bearing assembly. A single piece machined aluminum sub-platter and hardened tool steel spindle run inside a custom brass housing designed with improved mechanical integrity. The complete assembly is cleverly mounted within the chassis to eradicate unwanted potential energy being transferred or stored in the plinth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCustom Ceramic Platter\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eThe P10 uses a custom ceramic, flywheel effect platter which contributes to the speed stability. The platter is produced from ceramic oxide powder, which is compressed, fired and diamond cut to ensure perfect accuracy and flatness across the surface. The latest platter features a modified construction with improved coupling to the sub platter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e24-Volt Low Noise Motor Assembly\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eThe Planar 10 uses Rega's latest generation, 24-volt synchronous, low vibration motor technology. It is uniquely mounted using the highest level of coupling while retaining higher vibration isolation than any previous model. This new motor mounting technique (mounted from the bottom) has been taken directly from the ultimate Rega turntable, the Naiad. This mounting method removes all stress from the motor body whilst holding the drive pulley perfectly still. This enables better speed stability and accuracy from the turntable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eThe reduced vibration and more rigid mounting deliver superior drive from the new EBLT drive belts. Also, each motor is hand tuned to match its own custom matched PL10 PSU power supply before fitting to the turntable in order to optimize the anti-vibration circuit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eEBLT Drive Belts\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eFor three years, Rega has been researching and developing with chemists the use of a bespoke new rubber compound for drive belts. Using a specialized curing system, the new drive belt offers superior consistency of modulus (a constant representing the degree to which a substance has a particular property, especially elasticity). These new belts are manufactured on Rega-designed state-of-the-art, super-accurate tools (inspired by working with the manufacturer of high-tech Formula 1 engine parts) to produce 'perfectly round' and 'dimensionally accurate' belts, critical for perfect speed stability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003ePL10 PSU Custom Matched Advanced Power Supply\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eThe PL10 PSU offers the ultimate in motor control stability, convenient electronic speed change, advanced anti-vibration control, and user adjustable electronic fine speed adjustment to ensure total accuracy and control over the life of the motor.

The new Fono MC MK4 circuit resulted from the development work carried out on the hugely successful Rega Aria phono amplifier. \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003ch4\u003eUpgraded Aesthetics\u003c\/h4\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eThe aesthetic design of the Fono MC MK4 was as important as the quality of its electrical capabilities, so it benefits from the same new aluminum case as the Rega Neo MK2 PSU and Fono MM MK5 phono stage, giving it a design which offers a familiar feel and moreover brings it in line with its illustrious bigger brothers. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rega","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":45983078973613,"sku":"NEW-REFONOMC4-BLK","price":555.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Demo","offer_id":45983079006381,"sku":"DEMO-REFONOMC4-BLK","price":408.82,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Open Box","offer_id":45983079039149,"sku":"OPEN-REFONOMC4-BLK","price":555.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0750\/3708\/1773\/files\/REFONOMC4_BLK_02-Large__28356.1726900579.1280.1280.jpg?v=1778098752"},{"product_id":"rega-nd3-moving-magnet-cartridge-red","title":"Rega Nd3 Moving Magnet Cartridge - Red","description":"\u003ch2\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eWhat You Need to Know\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eA New Generation of Rega Performance\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003eThe \u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eRega Nd3 Moving Magnet Cartridge\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e is the entry point into Rega’s new Nd Series, bringing advanced technology to a more affordable price.
