Tonearm
The New P9 has an extensively redesigned tonearm, the all new RB1000.
Many changes have been made to improve the original RB900 even further.
The aluminium tube has been polished rather than lacquered so as to reduce
the weight. The entire bearing housing is now manufactured from stainless
steel and all parts have been manufactured to exacting tolerances which are
apparent from the tonearms appearance.
The tonearm tube itself (which is a one piece silicone/aluminium casting) is
very rigid, whilst being low mass. The tonearm assembly is concentrated
around precision, hardened stainless steel, miniature ball races of the
highest quality. The bearings fit on to ground shafts and into the tonearm
using interference fits. This means that no adhesive is required and therefore
none of the associated (component - adhesive - component) losses in rigidity
prevail. It is fitted to the plinth by a 3-point fixing. This technique will cause
less stress on the plinth and the bearing housing of the tonearm, and
therefore the least possible resonance.
The RB1000 tonearm is designed to maximize the cantilever acceleration
and travel as much as possible with the utmost accuracy within the cartridge
body, thus providing new levels of information.

Your Rega P9 has been designed to be effective, easy
to use and above all - to reproduce music better than
any other turntable. We have omitted all the usual
gimmicks and genuinely concentrated the
manufacturing costs on the high quality components
and design necessary to reproduce records accurately.
For example: a complex sub-chassis suspension is
normally necessary to reduce motor noise. However
they are difficult to maintain and degrade performance.
Rega have designed a unique phase adjustable power
supply which eliminates motor vibration at source and
therefore eradicates the need for a suspension.
Rega's design skill and the use of extremely high quality
components ensure that your turntable will perform at
its optimum. The tips we give here may help to give you
maximum musical enjoyment and ease of use for many
years.
