Rega RB3000 Tonearm

Rega RB3000 Tonearm The RB3000 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. Each bearing is hand selected to be an interference fit with the paired spindle, matching both the inside and outside diameters. This is a Rega developed method of increasing the amount of detail retrieved from the record surface, designed specifically to maximize performance of the tonearm and cartridge. The arm has a minimum of mechanical joints whilst using the stiffest materials in all critical areas. The tolerances are so tight that no adhesive is used at any point throughout the construction. A brand new, low mass, precision engineered, vertical bearing assembly has been manufactured to further complement the inherent design philosophy of the Planar 10 turntable. The award-winning Rega arm tube is meticulously hand-polished to keep mass to an absolute minimum, and has been completely 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.
