Rega RB Titanium - Titanium

Description

A tonearm of ultimate precision
The RB Titanium is the most advanced and accurate production tonearm Rega has ever designed. Its structure is engineered to minimize mechanical joints while using the stiffest materials in all critical areas. Originally designed to complement the Naia turntable, the RB Titanium is now available for retail purchase. Each unit is hand-assembled by highly skilled technicians and uses the highest-grade bearings, each carefully selected for an interference fit with the paired spindle. This exclusive Rega method maximizes detail retrieval from the record groove to fully exploit the potential of the tonearm and cartridge (sold separately). Technical specifications include a low effective mass of 11 g, a mounting distance of 222 mm from platter center to arm spindle, an effective length of 236.5 mm, an offset angle of 21.55°, and an overhang of 14.5 mm, ensuring maximum stability and optimal compatibility with high-end turntables.

Advanced design and near-frictionless movement
The RB Titanium achieves near-frictionless movement horizontally and vertically, with no measurable free play in the bearings, thanks to a one-piece titanium vertical bearing housing and titanium vertical spindle assembly. It features a tungsten balance weight and shaft, as well as a low-mass hand-polished aluminum tube, ensuring extremely precise tracking. Rega-made low-capacitance phono cables terminated with Neutrik Profi RCA connectors maintain a clean signal path for maximum fidelity.

The importance of zero play in the bearings
Even microscopic movement in the bearings can degrade musical accuracy. On a vinyl record, a 10 kHz signal near the center measures only 26 microns in length and may be less than 10 microns high. If the tonearm exhibits any play larger than this, the stylus cannot accurately track the micro-grooves, and musical information is lost. The RB Titanium eliminates this issue, allowing the stylus to precisely follow the grooves and reproduce every detail of the recording.
