Introducing to you my new model of aluminium sub-platter for Rega P1( including RP-1 ) and P2...
This new sub-platter is made of high quality aluminium with steel spindle. The steel spindle is heat treated /electro-deposited / DLC coated (diamond like carbon) to improve micro surface hardness as well as lowering the coefficient of friction.
Low mass design, in line with turntable manufacturers’ low mass philosophy. Mass is reduced effectively by cutting out mass from the top and bottom of the platter during machining, at the same time maintaining its rigidity.
High mass sub-platter is not desirable as it not only creates unnecessary resonance but also adds burden to the bearing and hub.
