Rega RP6 Turntable, new Ortofon 2M Black cartridge, RB303 tonearm, TTPSU power

Location:

Denver, CO

Description:

Fantastic turntable with crystal clear sound. Ortofon 2M Black stylus ($700) is new with less than 10 hours on it. Acrylic dust cover is also new (replaced direct from Rega $100). Additional custom black vinyl dust cover included ($50). Original black felt platter mat included with the cork one ($20) in the photo. Sells for ~$2000 new with equivalent quality cartridge.No significant blemishes or defects.I'm selling my record collection so I'm also selling my turntable. No complaints while using it.From the manufacturer:The Rega RP6 TurntableThe RP6 has been designed and engineered to achieveoutstanding performance way beyond the expectations of a product at this pricepoint. Excellent build quality, reliability and ease of use combine to make aproduct which, if used correctly, will offer you a lifetime of musicalenjoyment. Omitting unnecessary gimmicks allows us to concentrate themanufacturing costs on the high quality parts necessary to reproduce musicaccurately. The RP6 is fitted with a hand assembled RB303 tonearm, precisionmain bearing and a low vibration low noise 24v motor assembly which isindividually hand tuned to its circuit to further reduce vibration. Theminimalist design of the Rega RP6 and the use of extremely high qualitycomponents ensure that your turntable should last for many years.RB303 TonearmDesigned using the latest 3D CAD technology the new RB303 isthe culmination of more than 30 years of tonearm design experience. Due toadvances in technology we have been able to fine tune the iconic RB300 tonearmdesign. Featuring a brand new tube which has increased rigidity to the bearinghousing, arm carrier and headshell coupled with intelligent redistribution ofmass, ensure this arm will exhibit fewer points of possible resonance. Extremestability with almost friction free movement from the high precision bearingassemblies guarantee to gather more information from your vinyl than everbefore.TTPSU power supply The compact TT-PSU uses a high stability crystal locked lowdistortion sine wave generator. This, along with an efficient drive amplifierfed from a stabilised DC power supply, generates a 24V AC balanced signal ofless than 0.05% distortion, which is completely un-affected by any changes inthe mains/line voltage and conditions. This then drives the improved Regaanti-vibration circuit built into the RP6 motor PCB.Platter adaptorThe aluminium top hub adaptor is manufactured to the highesttolerance and uses a six point mounting system to ensure the platter and vinylis presented as flat as possible to the stylus.NEW DB Technology (Double BraceTechnology)“Mass absorbs energy - lost energy equals lost music”! Regahas pioneered the use of lightweight rigid plinths. Clever use of lightweightparticulate core with a highly rigid phenolic resin skin became the foundationsof the high level of performance achieved by the now iconic Planar turntablerange. The latest generation of Rega turntables takes this design philosophy tothe next level. A super lightweight plinth combined with a phenolic resindouble brace mounted specifically where the increased rigidity is required(between the tonearm mounting and the main hub bearing) forms a structurallysound “stressed beam” assembly. This rigid plinth design prevents energyabsorption and unwanted resonances which will add unnatural distortions to themusic. Equally, heavier mass can transfer more unwanted energy such as motor orbearing noise directly into the rotating record. The use of braces instead ofthe complete skin allows double thickness phenolic resin in these key areaswhile providing further weight reduction to the plinth which directly addressesthe issue of mass absorption and unwanted energy transmission.16MM Glass flywheel platterThe RP6 features an innovative two piece platter design constructed from floatglass. Manufactured using a complex and labour intensive invisible UV curingbond technique the secondary ring platter is permanently bonded to theunderside of the main platter. The extra ring adds mass to the outercircumference which increase the natural flywheel effect of the platterimproving speed stability, accuracy and consistency.24V Low noise motorThe motor is a high specification, 24V twin phasesynchronous unit which has the anti vibration circuit hand tuned to each motorand is controlled by Rega's unique and innovative TTPSU power supply. The motordrives the CNC machined pulley and sub platter/hub-bearing assembly via thebelt drive.Hand assembled RB303 tonearm with stainless steel balance weight.24v low noise motor.Dual layer float glass platter.Phenolic (lower) and metal faced (upper) bracing.Precision main bearing & aluminium adaptor.TT-PSU power supply electronic speed change.
