About the RB880
The Rega RB880 tonearm represents the culmination of nearly 40 years of tonearm design expertise, utilizing the latest 3D CAD/CAM technology. It incorporates a new aluminum vertical bearing housing, stainless steel redesigned sleeve and vertical bearing shaft for enhanced stability and rigidity. The advanced low-mass aluminum arm tube features intelligent mass redistribution to minimize resonance points. Hand-matched high-precision bearings provide near-frictionless movement with no measurable free play. Additional features include an integrated arm clip, improved spring housing, bias adjustment slider, low-capacitance phono cable with high-specification plugs, and Rega's 3-point mounting system for easy installation. Designed to complement the Planar 8 turntable, it ensures exceptional tracking, signal purity, and detailed vinyl reproduction. Lifetime warranty against manufacturing defects.
