This high-performance subplatter has been specifically designed for Rega RP6 and 2017 Planar 6 turntables. We also manufacture other high-performance subplatters for other turntables, including Rega (RP3,... etc.). Read also about.
The precision assembly of this subplatter integrates ideal components into a single subplatter design which is not available anywhere else and a polished aircraft-grade aluminum hub (6061-T6 grade aluminum) with low carbon stainless steel extended spindle (316L stainless steel) in addition to dual EPDM belts in order to grip the platter and isolate it from vibrations.
The use of this single precision assembly subplatter will enhance the already excellent performance of your Rega RP6 / 2017 Planar 6 in many areas:
SPEED ACCURACY AND STABILITY
Tas tighter tolerances than the Rega injection-molded plastic hub (the bottom part of the two-piece original subplatter). Having a low tolerance subplatter circumference enables both a better speed accuracy and stability.
The design of this single-piece subplatter has the same height as the combined Rega two-piece subplatter but allows other upgrades.
PLATTER PROTECTION
The dual EPDM rings grip and protects the platter (no metal-to-glass or metal-to-plastic contact if you use a different platter) to cause scratches or wear.
LOWER NOISE FLOOR
The EPDM rings grips and protects the platter (no metal-to-glass or metal-to-plastic contact if you use a different platter) against scratches or wear.
Hardened steel shaft and matching precision ball bearing lower the noise floor and will not wear after 8,000 hours of use (a lifetime!).
RECORD CLAMP
The extended low carbon high tensile steel shaft enables a wide range of record clamps and stabilizers to be used, further enhancing the sound quality.
High Precision tolerances are applied during the manufacture of this subplatter to ensure a low coefficient of friction.
This subplatter is supplied as a kit which includes:
RP6 subplatter as shown in the pictures
Instructions on how to swap over the subplatters
3 High-quality EPDM belts
Now including one FREE Ceramic Zirconia Oxide Ball Bearing.
TRIPLE 33 1/3 BRASS PULLEY
Building on the core design principles of the forthcoming top-of-the-range Rega NAIAD turntable we have designed, tested, and implemented a triple pulley for use for the Rega RP6 and 2017 Planar 6 Turntables.
Note: Due to IATA regulations, oils cannot be included in international parcels, so for TNG-Spinner products lubrication we recommend semisynthetic SAE15W50 or similar oils.
