Know before you buy
Yes, the turntable includes the high-end Rega Aphelion 2 moving coil cartridge pre-installed. You will simply need to connect it to a compatible phono stage and your audio system to begin listening.
The Tancast 8 polyurethane foam core is significantly lighter and more rigid than traditional materials. By reducing the mass of the plinth, the design minimizes energy absorption, which helps prevent unwanted resonances from coloring your music.
The custom ceramic platter acts as a flywheel, providing superior speed stability and consistency. Its density and precision engineering ensure that the platter rotates with minimal variation, resulting in more accurate pitch and timing.
The RB3000 is a precision-engineered tonearm designed for high-end performance. While it is optimized for the included Aphelion 2 cartridge, it features adjustable tracking force and bias settings to accommodate other high-quality cartridges if you choose to upgrade or experiment in the future.
Because the included Aphelion 2 is a low-output moving coil cartridge, you will need a phono stage that supports moving coil (MC) inputs. For the best results, we recommend pairing it with a high-quality dedicated phono preamp that can handle the specific impedance and gain requirements of this cartridge.
Speed selection is managed via the external power supply unit included with the turntable. This allows you to switch speeds electronically without needing to manually move the drive belt.
