Rega Planar 10 Reference Turntable Inspired by the ultimate Rega turntable, the Naiad, the Planar 10 is built around an ultra-light skeletal plinth of Tancast 8 foam core and HPL skin — the first production turntable to use ceramic bracing. Fitted with the precision RB3000 tonearm, a diamond-cut ceramic oxide platter, and the P10-PSU, it is designed to extract more information from the vinyl groove than ever before. ★ New matt white finish available from April 2023 — supplied with clear dustcover and black mat. Key Features RB3000 Tonearm Micron-perfect bearing fit, zero adhesive Ceramic Oxide Platter Diamond cut for ultimate accuracy DB Technology Ceramic top + phenolic resin bottom brace Tancast 8 Plinth Aerospace-grade foam core, 30% lighter P10 PSU Included DSP motor control, electronic speed change EBLT Drive Belt Bespoke rubber compound, F1-precision tooling Apheta 3 / Aphelion 2 Factory fitted cartridge (optional) Two Matt Finishes Polaris grey & white (new 2023) Engineering Detail Ultra-Lightweight Plinth Tancast 8 polyurethane foam core — developed for the aerospace industry — sandwiched between two layers of HPL. The result is a skeletal plinth 30% lighter than the original RP10 with increased rigidity. DB Technology “Mass absorbs energy — lost energy equals lost music.” A ceramic top brace and phenolic resin bottom brace form a stressed-beam assembly between the tonearm mount and main hub bearing, eliminating resonances and energy absorption. RB3000 Tonearm Preloaded zero-tolerance bearing assembly adjusted to less than 1/1000th of a mm. No adhesive used anywhere in construction. Hand-polished aluminium arm tube redesigned to redistribute mass and reduce bearing stress. Reads groove ridges of less than one micron. Hub Bearing Assembly Single-piece machined aluminium sub-platter and hardened tool steel spindle running inside a custom brass housing. Cleverly mounted within the chassis to eradicate unwanted energy transfer into the plinth. 24V Motor & EBLT Belt Bottom-mounted synchronous motor (technique from the Naiad) removes all stress from the motor body. Each motor is hand-tuned to its custom PL10 PSU. EBLT belts use a bespoke rubber compound and F1-inspired precision tooling for perfect roundness and speed stability. PL10 PSU DSP generator built on a high-stability crystal divides an accurate square wave to the exact frequency required. Generates a near-perfect sinusoidal waveform to power the motor. Factory-set vibration removal and fine speed adjustment tuned per motor unit. Technical Specifications Turntable Dimensions (W × H × D) 420 × 115 × 350 mm (with dustcover) P10 PSU Dimensions (W × H × D) 218 × 80 × 320 mm Turntable Weight 4.7 kg P10 PSU Weight 3 kg The Heart of Music: Every component of the Planar 10 exists for one purpose — to extract more information from the vinyl groove than ever before. Inspired by the Naiad. Built for the dedicated listener.
