Rega Planar 10: The Pinnacle of Analog Engineering

Rega Planar 10: The Pinnacle of Analog Engineering

Redefine your vinyl experience with the turntable that defies the laws of physics.

Since the 1980s, Rega has established itself as a hi-fi legend, often outperforming systems many times its price. The Rega Planar 10 is not just an evolution; it is a revolution that carries the legacy of the famous P9 to new heights of transparency and precision.

A "Skeleton" Structure for Pure Sound

Forget traditional massive plinths. The Planar 10 sits on an ultra-lightweight Tancast 8 chassis—an aerospace-grade polyurethane foam sandwiched between two layers of High-Pressure Laminate (HPL).

• Result: A plinth 30% lighter than the RP10, but with exceptional structural rigidity.

• Why it matters: Less mass means less vibration energy storage. The music emerges from total silence, without coloration.

Ceramic Platter and Diamond Precision

The Planar 10 platter is engineered from aluminum oxide (high-performance ceramic). Diamond-cut for absolute flatness, it features increased mass on its periphery. This creates a flywheel effect that guarantees perfect rotational stability, crucial for pitch accuracy.

The RB3000 Tonearm: The Art of Detail

The new RB3000 pushes the boundaries of micro-mechanics. With bearing tolerances of less than one micron, it eliminates all mechanical play. Its hand-polished structure minimizes welds and joints for maximum stiffness, allowing your cartridge to track the tiniest information hidden in the groove.

Highlights & Exclusive Technologies

• 24V Low-Noise Motor: Derived from the development of the ultimate "Naiad" turntable, the motor is mounted to remove residual stress, stabilizing speed at a reference level.

• Custom PL10 PSU Power Supply: A dedicated external unit that generates a perfect sinusoidal signal via a digital processor (DSP). Speed changes (33/45 RPM) are made at the touch of a button with adjustable precision.

• EBLT Reference Belt: The result of 40 years of research, this bespoke rubber belt ensures absolute consistency in power transmission.

Expert Review: "A Breathtaking Neutrality"

"The Planar 10 doesn’t just play music; it makes it come alive. Whether it's the explosive dynamics of a symphonic orchestra or the delicacy of a jazz vocal like Norah Jones, this turntable offers a 3D soundstage of disconcerting clarity. It is one of the few systems where you completely forget the technology and focus only on the emotion."
