In particular, the accurate manufacturing of the bearing housing and bearing spindles. Technical characteristics such as “roundness” and “parallelity” are critical.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOver the past three years, Rega has found a new manufacturing process that improves on all these characteristics, resulting in a micron-perfect bearing fit. The RB3000 is the first Rega arm to benefit from these improvements. The entire tonearm structure is designed to have the minimum of mechanical joints while using the stiffest materials in all critical areas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe tolerance of the RB3000 tonearm is so tight that no adhesive is used at any point throughout the construction.

This gives friction-free movement and zero levels of unwanted play. Simply put, friction-free bearings with no play enable ridges in the record groove of less than a micron to be read.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe RB3000 also uses our latest award-winning aluminium Rega arm tube (each one of which is meticulously hand polished, keeping mass to an absolute minimum), which was redesigned to redistribute weight and further reduce stresses and resonances.
