Research P7 Turntable
The new P7 is, in our opinion, the ultimate performance turntable
at it's price available to the music-loving public. We designed the
P7 with knowledge and expertise gained from our legendary flagship turntable
the P9.
The
plinth is a complex CNC machined skeletal structure of medium lightweight
fibre composite encased in highly ridged phenolic resin laminates -
ultra lightweight, ultra rigid foundation for this high performance
turntable. This results in the plinth being very strong and very light,
which inturn improves the performance.
The
main bearing assembly is engineered to extremely tight tolerances. This
results in virtually friction free rumble-less performance which, if
lubricated correctly, will last your lifetime!
The
ceramic platter is something which we have desperately wanted to evolve
from the P9 and use for other turntables, yet for a long time we have
had difficulty in being able to produce such an expensive material for
lower cost turntables. However, we believe this new incarnation of the
ceramic platter bridges that gap!
The P7 is
finished in a highly attractive Aluminium metal extrusion surround.
Which offers great rigidity and through clever machining produces an
extremely low mass which gives a performance improvement.

The
TT Power Supply Unit:
The all new TT PSU and motor anti-vibration circuit is a combination
of the innovative P9 power supply along with an improved P25 anti-vibration
motor drive feeding the P9 24V AC synchronous motor. The TT PSU uses a
remote "wall wart" transformer therefore keeping the sources of hum &
noise well away from sensitive parts such as the cartridge and phono leads.
These attributes will enhance and control the turntables effectiveness
to reproduce music.
The compact TT PSU uses exactly the same high stability crystal locked
low distortion sine wave generator as is used in the heart of the P9 power
supply. This, along with an efficient drive amplifier fed from stabilised
DC power supply, generates a 24Volt AC balanced signal of less than 0.05%
distortion, which is completely unaffected by any changes in the mains/line
voltage and conditions. This then drives the turntables anti-vibration
circuit, which is situated beneath the turntable.
The drive voltage for the motor is run
along the power lead to the turntable motor, which also carries the
33/45-RPM DC relay control voltage used to activate the anti-vibration
circuit.
The new RB700:
The RB700 carries forward the superior RB name with huge efficiency,
and lives upto the RB tonearms much awarded history. The RB700 is clearly
different in many ways to the previous 600 model, some of the key areas
of improvement are the bias housing, bearing assemblies and the materials
used on it.
The RB700 tonearm is designed to make
cartridges work harder, maximising the cantilever acceleration and travel
as much as possible with the utmost accuracy within the cartridge body
thus providing new levels of information.
Coloured turntable mats!
It is still possible to customise the look of your Rega turntable using
a variety of new coloured mats.
