Rega Naia Turntable

For fifty years, Rega has relentlessly pursued the perfect retrieval of music from the record groove. The Naia is the ultimate production embodiment of that fifty-year quest. Born from the legendary Naiad test-bed turntable, the Naia is not just an evolution; it is a revolution in turntable design, utilizing exotic materials and engineering principles previously considered impossible for a production model. By combining a Graphene-impregnated carbon fibre plinth, the peerless RB Titanium tonearm, and a resonance-controlled ceramic platter, the Naia eliminates unwanted energy and vibration to a degree that is simply breathtaking. It is a masterpiece of low mass and high rigidity, an instrument of profound transparency that delivers a connection to the music that is as close to the master tape as you can get.

Key Features

• Graphene Impregnated Carbon Fibre Plinth: An incredibly advanced skeletal plinth using a Tancast 8 foam core, sandwiched between Graphene-impregnated carbon fibre skins for the ultimate combination of lightness and stiffness.
• RB Titanium Tonearm: The most advanced and accurate production tonearm Rega has ever produced, featuring a one-piece titanium vertical bearing and vertical spindle assembly.
• Zirconium Toughened Alumina Bearing: A resonance-controlled, ZTA ceramic spindle and bearing assembly, precision-machined for a perfect, almost frictionless fit.
• Dual Ceramic Braces: A ceramic top and bottom brace create an absolutely rigid link between the tonearm and the main bearing, forming a "stressed beam" assembly that eliminates resonance.
• Diamond-Cut Ceramic Platter: A resonance-controlled, diamond-cut ceramic platter provides the ultimate in rotational stability and accuracy.
• Tungsten Balance Weight & Shaft: The RB Titanium tonearm features a tungsten balance weight and shaft for the ultimate in mass concentration and stability.
• Aphelion 2 MC Factory Fitted: The flagship Aphelion 2 Moving Coil cartridge is fitted as standard, creating a perfectly synergistic, ready-to-play reference system.
• Reference P10 Custom Matched PSU: The flagship external power supply is hand-tuned to its specific 24V motor for absolute speed stability and the lowest possible vibration.
• Low-Mass Skeletal Aluminium Feet: Custom aluminum feet, inspired by the Naiad, provide the perfect, stable coupling to the supporting surface.
• Reference EBLT Drive Belt: Fitted with Rega's reference-grade EBLT drive belt as standard for the most accurate and consistent drive performance.

The Pinnacle of Plinth Design: Carbon and Graphene

The Naia's plinth is a marvel of material science. It is constructed from a Tancast 8 foam core, which is then skinned with Graphene-impregnated carbon fibre—one of the strongest and lightest materials on earth. This incredibly complex, hand-finished plinth is the result of years of research and provides the ultimate platform for vibration-free playback. This is reinforced by top and bottom ceramic braces, creating a "stressed beam" that is unbelievably rigid, ensuring that the only energy present is the musical information being traced by the stylus.

The RB Titanium: A Tonearm Without Peer

The RB Titanium is the most advanced tonearm Rega has ever produced and a masterpiece of precision engineering. It is the first production Rega arm to feature a one-piece titanium vertical bearing and vertical spindle assembly, a design that dramatically reduces mass while increasing rigidity. The entire arm structure is designed to have the minimum number of mechanical joints, and features a hand-polished aluminum arm tube and a tungsten balance weight and shaft. This fanatical attention to detail results in a tonearm with movement that is virtually frictionless, allowing the Aphelion 2 cartridge to track the groove with unparalleled accuracy.

The Art of Stable Rotation

The entire drive system of the Naia is engineered for perfect, unwavering rotational stability. The Zirconium toughened alumina (ZTA) central bearing is a resonance-controlled design, machined for a perfect fit that will last a lifetime. This drives a resonance-controlled ceramic platter that is diamond-cut to absolute perfection. This entire assembly is powered by the reference P10 power supply, which is individually hand-tuned to the Naia's specific 24V motor. This creates a perfectly synergistic drive system with vanishingly low wow and flutter, resulting in pitch-perfect tonality and unshakable rhythmic integrity.

The Realization of a Dream

The Naia is the direct result of the years-long, cost-no-object research project that produced the legendary, near-mythical Naiad turntable. It takes the core principles and technologies of that masterpiece—the low mass, high rigidity plinth, the advanced bearing, and the ultra-precise tonearm—and makes them available for the first time in a production model. Every single component of the Naia has been engineered to be as light, as stiff, and as resonance-free as possible. It is the purest expression of Roy Gandy's design philosophy and the ultimate instrument for vinyl playback.
