About the RP8
The Rega RP8 is a premium turntable that represents a significant advancement in Rega's design philosophy. It boasts a unique skeletal plinth that is seven times lighter than the original Planar 3 plinth, enhancing its low mass design principle. The turntable includes the RB808 tonearm, which is meticulously hand-built and features improved bearings and a redesigned arm tube to reduce stress and resonance. The RP8 also incorporates a high-quality glass platter and a machined aluminum hub/subplatter for optimal performance. It is powered by the TTPSU power supply, which provides a stable and low-distortion sine wave generator for precise speed control.
