The RB880 is the result of nearly four decades of tonearm design expertise, developed with the latest 3D CAD and CAM technologies. It incorporates a new aluminum vertical bearing housing, along with redesigned stainless steel sleeve and vertical bearing shaft to enhance mounting stability and overall rigidity. The advanced tonearm tube employs intelligent mass redistribution to minimize resonance points. Exceptional stability and near-frictionless movement are achieved through hand-matched, high-precision bearings, enabling the arm to extract unparalleled detail from vinyl. It also features Rega-made low-capacitance phono cables with premium connectors designed to reduce signal loss through a simple two-part, twist-and-clamp locking mechanism. The RB880’s precision-engineered vertical bearing assembly and refined arm tube perfectly complement the Planar 8 turntable, delivering superior stiffness and resonance control for outstanding audio fidelity.
