Motor The motor is a high specification, 24V twin phase synchronous unit controlled by Rega's unique and innovative power supply. The motor drives the computer-numerically-controlled (cnc) machined pulley and sub platter/hub-bearing assembly via a twin belt drive. Two belts are used so that any small inaccuracies in one belt will be cancelled out by the second, giving unusually low levels of wow and flutter.
