Tweaks for my Rega RP6 !!! Speedy communication with Frank of Groovetracer makes the transaction a breeze. Most importantly, these are outstanding products for the turntable. Sorry, Roy, i gotta hot modded my table. The 5 minutes installation is painless and please read the instructions!
The Reference version of the subplatter features
i) low coefficient of friction between bearing surfaces minimized vibrations for a lower noise floor. this is physic at it’s best and quality that can be heard.
ii) record spindle is decoupled from the bearing axle to further reduce vibration transfer to the record playing surface. in other word, Frank did not skimp on quality . he goes all the way !!!
iii) 3 point Delrin contact (non resonant) between the subplatter and platter ensure positive interface and also minimizes vibration transfer.
iv) 0.0005″ – 0.001″ concentricity between the axle and hub greatly improves pitch control
v) extended length record spindle permits the use of my favorite tuning Acouslik Labor clamp.
The only Delrin Rega platter from 3rd party vendor. It carries more mass than the original glass platter, 83 ounces compared to 70 ounces. This increases its ability to maintain constant rotational speed and extra mass will not damage the bearing.
Also the construction of the Delrin platter has such precision to match Rega’s distance from the top of the plinth to the top of the playing surface. Finally i do not need a record mat when spinning the vinyl.
