Rega RB808 High-Performance Tonearm

Description

RB808 Tonearm

The RB808 tonearm is packed with new features pushing the
boundaries of tonearm design. As with all Rega tonearms each one is
meticulously hand built by a team of highly skilled technicians. The RB808 has
improved bearings and a tightened spindle fit tolerance over previous models
(each bearing is individually selected to find the perfect match for the chosen
spindle). This is a proven method of increasing the amount of detail retrieved
from the record surface.

A brand new low mass precision engineered vertical bearing
assembly has been manufactured to further complement the inherent
design philosophy of the RP8 turntable. The RB808 uses the
latest Rega arm tube. Completely redesigned to redistribute mass,
further reduce stresses and resonances. This advanced design tube
increases the stiffness and rigidity of the overall assembly using CAD design
to blend the multiple varying tapers.

Externally we have fitted a bespoke Rega designed low
capacitance phono cable. Which uses an advanced phono plug
assembly. This has only two parts to minimise joints and incorporates
a twist and clamp design locking the plug to the terminal. The design increases
connectivity and ensures the signal path is kept as clean as possible.
