Rega has earned its reputation as one of the world's finest manufacturers of high quality turntables, with close to 40 years of experience in making the finest quality turntables. The company continues to push the boundaries of design and technology, and produces exceptionally high quality turntables at a down to earth price.
Although only released this summer, the Rega RP3 turntable is already winning high praise for its looks, its usability and an exceptional performance, well above what you would expect for the price. Rega brings high-end technology within the range of the budget vinyl lover, with Rega turntables stripping away the unnecessary gimmicks and instead putting the cost saving into higher quality components. The Rega RP3 is no exception, offering a technical specification which belies its price tag. Rega RP3 Component Design
The Rega RP3 turntable uses an ultra low noise and low vibration motor which is hand tuned to reduce vibration, and is virtually indistinguishable the motor used in the top of the range P7 and P9 turntables sold at 2-3 times the price. The result is less rumble, a lower noise floor and more consistent accuracy of speed.
Major improvements made for the latest Rega RP3 turntables include a brand new hand assembled RB303 tonearm, a precision main bearing and a new plinth featuring Rega's proprietary Double Brace Technology. Rega is a pioneer in the use of ultra lightweight plinths, and uses a phenolic resin thermoplastic construction with a double brace to further improve rigidity, essentially creating a stressed beam formation. This adds further strengthening the area between the tonearm mounting and the main bearing, for improved energy absorption and reduced resonance. This translates into better sound quality with less distortion, and the reduced mass of the plinth means less energy loss.
The Rega RP3 uses a brand new RB303 Tonearm, incorporating cutting edge 3D CAD & CAM technology. The new unit offers greater rigidity, a more lightweight design, and better mass distribution which al serve to reduce resonance. With a virtually friction free movement and high precision bearings, and an impressive Elys 2 moving magnet cartridge it all adds up to an incredible package, which raises the benchmark at this price point further still.
