Description

The​‍​‌‍​‍‌​‍​‌‍​‍‌ Rega Planar 10 Turntable (No Cartridge) is a result of our top-notch Rega turntable, the Naiad. The​‍​‌‍​‍‌​‍​‌‍​‍‌ design concept bases on a super-light skeletal ​‍​‌‍​‍‌​‍​‌‍​‍‌plinth. Made of a Tancast 8 core and wrapped in a high-pressure laminate (HPL) skin.

Rega Planar 10 Turntable (No Cartridge)

The Rega Planar 10 Turntable is a production turntable that innovates with the ceramic bracing. Which gives the maximum rigid surface for the precision reference RB3000 tonearm and the custom central bearing assembly.

Rega 24 V Synchronous Motor

Among​‍​‌‍​‍‌​‍​‌‍​‍‌ other features, Planar 10 comes with a custom ceramic oxide platter. Rega​‍​‌‍​‍‌​‍​‌‍​‍‌ 24 V synchronous motor is of the highest quality and is extremely stable for the speed during the production. The motor is controlled by the advanced external power unit, the ​‍​‌‍​‍‌​‍​‌‍​‍‌P10-PSU. This unit offers the greatest possible motor vibration reduction. Also, it includes electronic fine speed adjustment and the convenience of electronic speed ​‍​‌‍​‍‌​‍​‌‍​‍‌change.

Planar 10’s design features allow it to bring out more of the musical information hidden inside the vinyl groove than ever before. Thus achieving the best sound of ​‍​‌‍​‍‌​‍​‌‍​‍‌Rega.

RB3000 Tonearm

The​‍​‌‍​‍‌​‍​‌‍​‍‌ Rega Planar 10 Turntable  comes equipped with the new RB3000 tonearm and an upgraded low-mass precision bias ​‍​‌‍​‍‌​‍​‌‍​‍‌housing. We have developed a totally new low mass, central hub bearing assembly with improved mechanical ​‍​‌‍​‍‌​‍​‌‍​‍‌integrity.

Rega production turntable sees for the first time a top brace made from ceramic that provides ultimate rigidity and accuracy. While at the same time creating the perfect platform between the tonearm and central bearing.

Advanced Electronic Power Supply

At last, this brand new player is regulated by our most advanced electronic power supply. Which is housed in a stunning new full metal custom case that has been designed to coordinate with the latest range of Rega ​‍​‌‍​‍‌​‍​‌‍​‍‌electronic.

Tancast 8 Polyurethane Foam Core

The​‍​‌‍​‍‌​‍​‌‍​‍‌ Rega Planar 10 Turntable is the third turntable of Rega line that has been built using our latest technology. Which is the ultra-lightweight Tancast 8 polyurethane foam core (a material developed for the aerospace industry).

This core is wrapped with two layers of High Pressure Laminate. HPL is very thin and highly rigid. The new design allows the new Planar 10 skeletal plinth to be 30% lighter than the original RP10 while also being more rigid than the previous ​‍​‌‍​‍‌​‍​‌‍​‍‌model.

Excellence in Engineering

The plinth and excellent bearings on the RB3000 are so light that they demonstrate Rega’s goal of giving its target group a chance to perceive everything from the very first moment of their experience until the end.

Features and Benefits

  • Choice of Cartridge: Personalise your audio preferences with a high-quality cartridge based on various decisions.
  • Tancast 8 Polyurethane Foam Core Plinth: Its super-lightweight construction. Prevents it from taking in any unwanted energy that might affect its vibration.
  • Ceramic Brace Technology: Connects the platter and tonearm. Making vinyl playback at a liquid level of rigidity and with the minimum chance of distortion.
  • PSU-R Power Supply: Averaging out at a noise level of ‘match-of-referee’ quietness. It is the last word in record player acoustic energy utilization and environment-friendly running.

Summary of the Rega Planar 10 Turntable (No Cartridge)

Mass​‍​‌‍​‍‌​‍​‌‍​‍‌​‍​‌‍​‍‌​‍​‌‍​‍‌ absorbs energy – a loss of energy in sound means a loss of music!” The use of a very light plinth together with a ceramic top brace and phenolic resin bottom brace. Each being fixed at the exact spot where the rigidity needs to be increased (between the tonearm mounting and the main hub bearing). Which makes the whole construction very strong, a “stressed beam,” kind of ​‍​‌‍​‍‌​‍​‌‍​‍‌structure.

Such a solid and uncompromising plinth construction will stop the plinth from soaking up energy. Consequently, from producing unwanted resonances which, in turn, will make the music sound distorted, under those conditions.

However, the heavier mass, on the other hand. Which​‍​‌‍​‍‌​‍​‌‍​‍‌ is capable of transmitting more of the unwanted energy such as motor or bearing noise directly into the record being ​‍​‌‍​‍‌​‍​‌‍​‍‌played. Therefore, the tonearm and cartridge have to be able to extract the signal directly and accurately from the platter.

Rega Double Brace

That is what this exclusive Rega double brace is all about. It is apparent that the use of braces instead of the complete skin has allowed for the increased thickness in these key areas. At the same time, has given rise to a further weight reduction of the plinth. Which directly goes to the issue of mass absorption and unwanted energy ​‍​‌‍​‍‌​‍​‌‍​‍‌transmission.

Outstand Sound Reproduction

Besides technology-based capabilities, this Rega record player symbolises the most existential part of the music on a vinyl disc. It results from creativity, the main driving force in the company’s endeavours. The company shares the fundamental principle that the design of a turntable will directly affect the sound it transmits to the listener.

For those who want to experience joy in its purest form by extracting the most precise emotions and the choicest sounds from their record collection.
