Rega RB330 Tonearm
The Rega RB330 has been crafted with over 30 years of tonearm design experience and has been fine-tuned using the latest 3D CAD & CAM technology. It features a new tube design which increases the rigidity to the housing of the bearing, arm carrier and headshell. This is then coupled with an intelligent mass redistribution method guaranteeing a resonance-free signal transfer There is extreme stability with the movement that is almost friction-free, this is from the highly accurate bearing placement. This helps to ensure that the finest micro dynamics are retrieved from the deepest grooves of your favourite vinyl records.
Key Features
- Redesigned vertical bearing housing
- Integrated arm clip
- Improved spring housing
- Rega's award-winning low-mass aluminium tonearm tube
- Extreme stability and almost friction-free movement
- Hand selected bearings
- Lifetime warranty against manufacture defects
Designed using the latest 3D CAD & CAM technology, the new RB330 is the culmination of more than 35 years of tonearm design experience. Featuring a brand new bearing housing and our latest tonearm tube designed using intelligent redistribution of mass, ensure this arm will exhibit fewer points of possible resonance.
Rega is famed for its tonearm designs. One unique characteristic of these designs is the achievement of near frictionless movement horizontally and vertically whilst having no measurable free play in the bearing assemblies (and in reality one or two microns of pre load). Rega has spent over thirty years and invested heavily in this area of tonearm design where the removal of microns of movement has such a notable effect on playback.
Look at a stereo vinyl LP under an electron microscope and you will see microscopic ridges and bumps that the diamond stylus of the pick-up cartridge tracks and reads. The length of a ridge depends on its frequency. The height is its amplitude.
Towards the centre of an LP, a 10Khz signal is just 26 microns long and if it’s very quiet it may be less than 10 microns high. If your tonearm has 10 microns of movement within the bearing assemblies (and even very expensive tonearms usually have much more play and movement), reading the bumps will be difficult and musical vibration will be lost in arm movement.
It is impossible to quantify exactly the musical distortion or loss of measured information. This is due to the random nature of pivot or bearing movement. However, it is easy to see that accurate measurement or tracking of a 10 micron bump is not possible if the tracking stylus can move randomly at least the same distance that it is trying to measure.
