For over 30 years, Rega has been the first name on everyone's lips when it comes to turntables. They are committed to the design and development of new and existing products, and their range of turntables represents excellent value and performance at each price point.

Rega have worked hard on extracting even more performance from the new range of cartridges - generating superior sound and dynamic quality at no extra cost over their predecessors.

Rega have improved production methods utilising new technology which has become available.

All you have to do is listen!

Conventional MC cartridges utilize a steel suspension system (tie wire) which creates a high amplitude H.F resonance (normally around 8-12Khz). Such resonance is unacceptable and is usually damped by a rudimentary piece of foam rubber. However the foam rubber deteriorates with age and cannot prevent the complete structure from vibrating and "ringing".

The specifics and adjustment of the tie wire and damping determine whether the cartridge is under damped (bright) or over damped (warm and bass heavy).
A happy medium is rarely achieved.

This encouraged Rega to pursue a new direction inspired by modern materials and the basic laws of magnetism. The Rega Apheta contains neither a tie wire nor a foam damper. After 4 years and many hundreds of experiments the innovative design of the Apheta was complete.

Moving coil aficionados will all recognise the long search for super clear high frequency combined with firm tight bass.

Rega have been designing tonearms for 20 years and supply original equipment manufacturer tonearms (OEM) and parts to over 15 other manufacturers.

All wiring in RB tonearms are purpose designed by Rega and are of the highest performance level possible at the budget point of that tonearm.

High tensile strength stainless steel is used throughout the RB300, RB600, RB700 and RB1000 designs.
