The NAIA is a flagship-tier belt-drive turntable from Rega, pre-fitted with the celebrated RB tonearm and the flagship Aphelion 2 cartridge. The NAIA represents Rega's most ambitious current statement in turntable engineering.

Key specs that matter

Two speeds are supported - 33 and 45rpm - via belt drive with a DC motor. The turntable comes pre-installed with Rega's RB tonearm and the flagship Aphelion 2 cartridge - a complete, factory-matched analogue front end. The platter is aluminium. At 420 x 115 x 350mm and 4.65kg, the NAIA maintains a manageable turntable chassis despite its flagship-tier engineering ambition.

Sound and use context

Expect exceptionally precise, detailed analogue playback reflecting the complete factory-matched combination of the RB tonearm and flagship Aphelion 2 cartridge, representing Rega's most accomplished current turntable engineering ambition.

Pairing

The pre-installed RB tonearm and Aphelion 2 cartridge come factory-matched and calibrated, requiring no separate cartridge selection or alignment.

Alternatives

Rega's own PLANAR 10 offers a related flagship-tier alternative with a ceramic platter within the same broader turntable catalogue.
