Rega RP10/RB2000/Apheta 2

摘要

To mark its 40th anniversary, back in 2013, Rega put out a colourful limited-edition turntable called the RP40. A more significant act of celebration, perhaps, was the unveiling of the Naiad, a final version of the no-holds-barred development test-bed in which Rega founder Roy Gandy's design philosophies had been pursued to new levels without budgetary constraints. This development work had already borne fruit in a whole new range of turntables culminating in the RP8 [HFN May '14] and the RP10. In fact the £2998 RP10 itself first appeared in that anniversary year of 2013, but it now also comes, as reviewed here, factory-fitted with the revised Apheta 2 moving-coil cartridge [see boxout, p31]. Although the cartridge normally costs £998, the RP10/Apheta 2 package is yours for £3698.
