Know before you buy
The tungsten weight provides superior mass and stability compared to standard counterweights. This increased density helps the tonearm track more accurately, resulting in better resonance control and a more refined audio output.
It is compatible with a wide range of Rega RB tonearms, including the RB100, RB202, RB303, RB808, and up to the RB2000 series. Please verify your specific tonearm model against the compatibility list to ensure a proper fit.
Tungsten is significantly denser than stainless steel or aluminum, allowing for a more compact design. This smaller profile reduces the overall mass hanging off the back of the tonearm, which improves balance and tracking precision.
Yes, the installation is straightforward and typically involves sliding the old weight off the rear of the tonearm and sliding the new tungsten weight into its place. You will need to re-balance your tonearm and reset the tracking force after installation.
Yes, this weight is fully compatible with the Rega RP6, RP8, and RP10 turntables. It is designed to integrate seamlessly with the tonearms factory-fitted to these specific models.
