  • Page 4: Introduction / Evolution Of Revolution

    Rega is no exception to evolution. Rega’s experience and previous achievements allows us to continually develop and produce better products. The RP8 & RP10 represents probably the biggest step forward in the evolution of Roy Gandy’s turntable design philosophies. Low mass, high rigidity plinths combined with electronically controlled low vibration motors, high flywheel effect platters and lower mass, higher stability tonearms.

    They believe that by taking one theory to its extreme, the design will become “perfect”. The reality of all engineering, design (and life) is that perfection is not possible. Based on this reality, Rega’s goal has always been to optimise a mixture of numerous “correct compromises” thus bringing the designer nearer to the...

    This material has been developed exclusively for Rega over a three year period. The RP10 plinth is seven times lighter than the weight of the original Planar 3 plinth. In addition Rega has added even more stiffness in the crucial...
  • Page 7 The RP10 takes our double brace technology to the next level. Not content with an unprecedented stiffness to mass ratio, Rega has obsessively reduced any resonant properties by using two different materials for the new stressed beam. The top layer is magnesium and the bottom layer is phenolic (two of the lightest and stiffest materials available).
  • Page 8 The motor is a high specification, 24V twin phase synchronous unit. It is controlled by Rega's unique and innovative RP10-PSU power supply. The motor drives the CNC machined pulley, sub platter and hub-bearing assembly via the twin belt drive. Each motor is individually hand tuned to its own custom power supply in the factory to minimise vibration, motor noise and ensure optimum performance.
  • Page 9 The RB2000 tonearm is packed with new features pushing the boundaries of tonearm design. As with all Rega tonearms, each one is meticulously hand built by a team of highly skilled technicians. The RB2000 uses improved bearings with each one being hand selected to be an interference fit with the paired spindle matching both the inside and outside diameters.

    IMPORTANT: ALWAYS REMOVE THE CERAMIC PLATTER BEFORE LIFTING OR RELOCATING THE RP10 Always remove the ceramic platter before locating the RP10 central plinth into the outer frame or when lifting the whole turntable to relocate it. The ‘o’ rings will not centralise the plinth within the frame if the weight of the platter is present.

    CARE OF YOUR TURNTABLE Mount the turntable on a rigid, level surface. Avoid mounting on hollow or heavy cabinets or anything mounted on a flexible wooden floor. The Rega turntable support is the ideal solution fitted with RP10 adaptor cups.
