The precision assembly of this subplatter integrates ideal components into a single sub-platter design which is not available anywhere else and polished aircraft-grade aluminum hub (6061-T6 grade aluminum) with a low carbon stainless steel extended spindle (316L stainless steel) in addition to dual silicone belts in order to grip the platter and isolate it from vibrations. The use of this single precision assembly sub-platter will enhance the already excellent performance of your Rega RP6 and post 2017 Planar 6 & Planar 8 , in some areas:
SPEED ACCURACY AND STABILITY
The diameter of the polished aircraft-grade aluminum hub has 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.
Our single-piece subplatter has the same height as the combined Rega two-piece subplatter but it allows other upgrades. Dual pulleys and silicone belts can be fitted with this subplatter, both upgrades enhancing speed stability even further for better dynamics (upgrades that can&rsquot be associated with the original Rega plastic subplatter).
PLATTER PROTECTION
The dual silicone rings grip and protect the platter from scratches and or wear.
The silicone rings isolate the platter from unwanted bearing vibration lowering the noise floor.
Optional Auto-lubricated flat VHL spindle extremity.
Hardened steel shaft and matching precision ball bearing lower 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 sub-platter is supplied as a kit that includes:
RP6, P6, P8 subplatter as shown in the pictures
Instructions on how to swap over the sub-platters
High-quality silicone belt
Now including one FREE Ceramic Zirconia Ball Bearing!
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.
