Know before you buy
No, the Naia does not have a built-in preamp. You will need to connect it to an external phono stage or an amplifier with a dedicated phono input to achieve playback.
The Rega Naia does not come with a dust cover. Given its skeletal design, it is intended to be displayed openly, though you may want to consider a custom acrylic cover if you live in a particularly dusty environment.
The RB titanium tonearm uses a one-piece titanium vertical bearing and spindle assembly, which offers exceptional rigidity and reduced mass compared to traditional materials. This precision engineering significantly improves tracking accuracy and minimizes unwanted resonance.
The triple drive belt configuration is designed to provide superior rotational stability and consistent speed. By distributing the load across three belts, the turntable minimizes micro-fluctuations, resulting in a more precise and stable playback experience.
This advanced material combination creates an ultra-rigid, low-mass plinth that is highly effective at suppressing vibration. By pairing the Graphene-impregnated carbon fiber with a Tancast 8 foam core, the Naia prevents energy from the motor or environment from coloring the sound.
Yes, the turntable includes a reference-grade, fully adjustable power supply. This unit is essential for the Naia's performance, as it allows for precise motor control and ensures the turntable operates at its peak technical capability.
