Rega engineering, from the start.
Replay’s rigid, low-mass skeletal plinth draws on the design approach found in the Planar 8, Planar 10, Naia and Naiad. It pairs that distinctive form with the RB110 tonearm and factory-fitted Carbon moving magnet cartridge familiar from the Planar 1.
The focus is straightforward: an easy introduction to vinyl, with the engineering centered on musical performance.
The RB110 Tonearm and Rega Carbon Cartridge
The Rega Replay uses the latest generation of Rega’s RB110 tonearm, built with the brand’s patented, bespoke ultra-low-friction bearings and a factory pre-set, non-adjustable bias setting that removes another step from setup. The ergonomically redesigned RB110 headshell comes fitted with a Rega Carbon moving magnet cartridge, with a replaceable stylus, individually fitted and aligned at the factory for optimum performance straight out of the box.
Skeletal Plinth, Brass Bearing and a New Motor Module
The Rega Replay’s high-rigidity, laminated skeletal plinth uses a low-mass design with a black MDF core, paired with a performance brass main bearing (patent pending) that Rega says improves fit and reduces stress on the bearing while minimising energy transfer. A 23mm phenolic platter with improved flywheel effect aids speed stability, finished with a custom two-sided mat for grip. Power comes from a bespoke 24V synchronous AC motor module with a new PCB, a CNC-machined aluminium pulley, and built-in ventilation.
