Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the Rega Naia turntable. A product developed directly from
the handmade 'Naiad' test bed turntable (costing £30,000, of which parts for only fifty
were ever ordered). The Naia takes the best of this technology and transfers it into
a production ready version without compromise. The Naia is packed with ground-
breaking features, materials and technology developed by Rega over many years to
deliver the ultimate in vinyl replay.
The Naia takes our pioneering low mass high rigidity plinth technology to the next level
by using a Graphene impregnated carbon fibre skeletal plinth with Tancast 8 foam core.
This ultra rigid structure is then strengthened further using ceramic aluminium oxide
braces, the same material used to create the redesigned, resonance controlled ceramic
platter with improved flywheel effect and complex profile.
Our unique 24V low noise motor is driven by our reference power supply which provides
ultimate control over speed and vibration. The motor drive is transferred via three
Reference EBLT drive belts which rotate a custom aluminium sub-platter with a spindle
made from ZTA Zirconium toughened alumina (ceramic), the exact same material as
the central bearing itself. A world first.
The RB Titanium tonearm is the most advanced and accurate production tonearm we
have every released. The entire tonearm structure is designed to have the minimum
of mechanical joints whilst using the stiffest materials in all critical areas. The RB-
Titanium achieves near frictionless movement horizontally and vertically whilst
having no measurable free play in the bearing assemblies. The RB-Titanium uses a
new one-piece titanium vertical bearing and titanium vertical spindle assembly. The
recommended Rega Aphelion 2 MC (optional) will be mounted upon our unique hand-
polished aluminium single piece arm tube to keep mass as low as possible. The design
is completed with a Tungsten balance weight shaft and balance weight.
We hope you enjoy this very special turntable as much as we enjoyed creating it.
