Rega’s 33 1/3 Revolution
Rega’s has so many tweaks, new models and innovations on the go it’s a moveable feast for music lovers. Take the new RP10 turntable for example. It has a revolutionary new plinth design, carries the brand’s new RB2000 tonearm, incorporates a ceramic flywheel effect platter, and to round things out uses a custom power supply.
For those discerning enthusiasts, the RP10 can also depart Rega's UK factory installed with the Apheta moving-coil cartridge.
The RP10’s minimalist plinth exploits a patented new stressed skin material made from thin phenolic skins laminated around an ultra-light polyolefin foam core. Compared to the Planar 3 plinth, it's several times lighter and minimises the amount of motor and bearing noise that on many turntables feeds back into the chassis or tonearm.
The RP10’s platter is manufactured from compressed oxide powder which is baked and diamond-cut yielding rotational perfection and a flat surface.
Following Rega’s heritage, the RP10 is a belt-drive model with a factory tweaked 24-volt low-noise motor running a Rega SP10 power supply, and fitted with a speed control DSP enabled generator fitted with an ultra stable crystal.
Rega’s top RB2000 tonearm follows the brands philosophy to a Tee. It has next to no mechanical joints and uses light but stiff materials to reduce mass.
On sale now, the Rega RP-10 fitted with the RB2000 tonearm retails for $6,499. If you’d like the complete turntable/arm/cartridge package, with the Apheta moving-coil cartridge factory-fitted to the RB2000, the price is $7,699 (RRP).

applause awards
Each time StereoNET reviews a product, it is considered for an Applause Award. Winning one marks it out as a design of great quality and distinction – a special product in its class, on the grounds of either performance, value for money, or usually both.
Applause Awards are personally issued by StereoNET’s global Editor-in-Chief, David Price – who has over three decades of experience reviewing hi-fi products at the highest level – after consulting with our senior editorial team. They are not automatically given with all reviews, nor can manufacturers purchase them.
The StereoNET editorial team includes some of the world’s most experienced and respected hi-fi journalists with a vast wealth of knowledge. Some have edited popular English language hi-fi magazines, and others have been senior contributors to famous audio journals stretching back to the late 1970s. And we also employ professional IT and home theatre specialists who work at the cutting edge of today’s technology.
We believe that no other online hi-fi and home cinema resource offers such expert knowledge, so when StereoNET gives an Applause Award, it is a trustworthy hallmark of quality. Receiving such an award is the prerequisite to becoming eligible for our annual Product of the Year awards, awarded only to the finest designs in their respective categories. Buyers of hi-fi, home cinema, and headphones can be sure that a StereoNET Applause Award winner is worthy of your most serious attention.
