Offering improved ergonomics, usability and sonic performance. Featuring a new bias assembly, re-designed stiffer vertical bearing housing, integrated arm clip and an improved spring housing with easier to read numbers. Other improvements include a Rega made, low capacitance phono cable terminated with high quality ‘Neutrik’ plugs, improved lower friction, precision horizontal and vertical bearings and a re-designed 100 g mild steel balance weight.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"heading-2\"\u003eThe legendary RB330\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned using the latest 3D CAD \u0026amp; CAM technology, the new RB330 is the culmination of more than 35 years of tonearm design experience. Featuring a brand new bearing housing and our latest tonearm tube designed using intelligent redistribution of mass, ensure this arm will exhibit fewer points of possible resonance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExtreme stability with almost friction free movement from the new high precision bearing assemblies guarantees to gather more information from your vinyl than ever before. Featuring a new bias assembly, re-designed stiffer vertical bearing housing, integrated arm clip and an improved spring housing with easier to read numbers. Rega made, new low capacitance phono cable with Neutrik plugs. Improved lower friction, precision horizontal and vertical bearings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRega is famed for its tonearm designs. One unique characteristic of these designs is the achievement of near frictionless movement horizontally and vertically whilst having no measurable free play in the bearing assemblies (and in reality one or two microns of pre load). Rega has spent over thirty years and invested heavily in this area of tonearm design where the removal of  microns of movement has such a notable effect on playback.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLook at a stereo vinyl LP under an electron microscope and you will see microscopic ridges and bumps that the diamond stylus of the pick-up cartridge tracks and reads. The length of a ridge depends on its frequency. The height is its amplitude.\u003cbr\u003eTowards the centre of an LP, a 10Khz signal is just 26 microns long and if it’s very quiet it may be less than 10 microns high. If your tonearm has 10 microns of movement within the bearing assemblies (and even very expensive tonearms usually have much more play and movement), reading the bumps will be difficult and musical vibration will be lost in arm movement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIt is impossible to quantify exactly the musical distortion or loss of measured information. This is due to the random nature of pivot or bearing movement. However, it is easy to see that accurate measurement or tracking of a 10 micron bump is not possible if the tracking stylus can move randomly at least the same distance that it is trying to measure.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable border=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" width=\"377\" style=\"border-collapse: collapse; width: 585px;\" height=\"137\"\u003e\n\u003ccolgroup\u003e\n\u003ccol width=\"313\" style=\"width: 416px;\"\u003e \u003ccol width=\"64\" style=\"width: 169px;\"\u003e \u003c\/colgroup\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr height=\"19\" style=\"height: 14.5pt;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd height=\"19\" class=\"xl65\" width=\"313\" style=\"height: 14.5pt; width: 235pt;\"\u003eEffective Mass\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"xl65\" width=\"64\" style=\"width: 48pt;\"\u003eLow \/ 11 g\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr height=\"19\" style=\"height: 14.5pt;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd height=\"19\" class=\"xl65\" style=\"height: 14.5pt;\"\u003eMounting Distance (platter centre to arm hole centre)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"xl65\"\u003e222 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr height=\"19\" style=\"height: 14.5pt;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd height=\"19\" class=\"xl65\" style=\"height: 14.5pt;\"\u003eEffective Length\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"xl65\"\u003e236.5 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr height=\"19\" style=\"height: 14.5pt;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd height=\"19\" class=\"xl65\" style=\"height: 14.5pt;\"\u003eOffset Angle\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"xl65\"\u003e21.55°\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr height=\"19\" style=\"height: 14.5pt;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd height=\"19\" class=\"xl65\" style=\"height: 14.5pt;\"\u003eOverhang\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"xl65\"\u003e14.5 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Rega","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68256395362585,"sku":"7196newREGA","price":675.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0844\/4225\/1545\/files\/RegaRB330Tonearm.jpg?v=1793658594","url":"https:\/\/tmraudio.com\/products\/rega-rb330-tonearm","provider":"The Music Room","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
