History

The first Rega tonearm, and perhaps the most famous tonearm ever produced, the legendary RB300. Fitted to the P3, this tonearm will never be found wanting for performance and will make cartridges work very hard to provide you with astonishing quantities of musical detail.

In 1983, after using the Rega designed Japanese built R200 tonearm for 10 years, Rega decided to design and build their first tonearm in the UK, the RB300 (Rega Britain). The high pressure die-cast silicon alloy tube alone took two years to develop with the UK's largest die casting company. The work and our casting subsequently won us both an "international casting award" from America for what is still considered today to be a technically impossible casting. See if you can find one the same! To date, Rega have sold over 250,000 RB300 derived British tonearms...
