Eagleeyes Posted June 10, 2017 Posted June 10, 2017 (edited) Item: REGA. RP9 turntable external full sized power supply and superb 30 hours use ortofon jubilee cartridge. Books cables etc.Location: PerthPrice: 4950Item Condition: Mint Reason for selling: Upgrading 2 decks to one.Payment Method: Pickup - Cash, Paypal plus costs freight as buyers cost.Extra Info: As new very very low hour use turntable cart and power supply , no visible scratches on deck ,very mild scuffs on rack mounted power supply but I think will dust off. Superb deck quite possibly the easiest high quality reference turntable on the market - turn it on and go - no set up no suspension issues - just sublime sound and value for money. The arm itself costs more than the entire rp6 deck and arm and the platter is made from space shuttle ceramics. online reviews everywhere but bit more detail. Product Overview:from vision living website but loads of others The P9 is, in our opinion, the ultimate performance turntable available to the music-loving public. We designed the P9 with no financial restrictions whatsoever. The ceramic platter alone costs more to produce than our P5 turntable! With the right cartridge, you will be astonished at just how much information this turntable retrieves from your vinyl LP collection. The plinth is a complex CNC machined skeletal structure encased in highly ridged phenolic resin laminates. The equivalent to the carbon fibre 'monocoque' chassis of the formula one car - an ultra lightweight, ultra rigid foundation for this high performance turntable. The plinth of the new P9 uses a brand new material to hi-fi for the inner skeletal structure. It is an ultra lightweight fibre composite. This results in the plinth being even lighter than the previous Planar 9 and improves the performance. The main bearing assembly is engineered to extremely tight tolerances. This results in virtually friction free rumble-less performance which, if lubricated correctly, will last your lifetime! The platter is quite simply the most exotic material we have used to date in our turntable designs. It is made from pure ceramic; a material that you would otherwise find on missile nose cones or maybe insulation tiles found on Nasa's space shuttle. The reason for using such an exotic and difficult to produce material? It is the hardest material known to man apart from diamond! The P9 carries a decorative surround of exotic solid woods, which you can cleverly interchange if you so wish to give a different appearance. New technologies in CNC woodworking machinery have allowed Rega to produce its first technologically complex surround. The new P9 surround is considerably more attractive than its predecessor and externally much larger although through clever machining the new surround is lower in mass than the old which gives a performance improvement. The external power supply unit is a quart crystal locked system. To ensure accurate speed stability of the platter motor, two quartz crystal control reference oscillators have been utilised. This system produces a high frequency (3 MHz for 33 and 4 MHz for 45) signal, which is then divided down to feed generously rated, high current power fet amps. The output from these is very pure.

tubularbells Posted June 10, 2017 Posted June 10, 2017 I would swap out my TransRotor Zet3 (inc ext power supply) with a Reed 2A arm for this any day as I always lusted over a P9.
soundfan Posted June 10, 2017 Posted June 10, 2017 (edited) @Eagleeyes Nice. May I suggest you state what model tonearm is fitted to the RP9. You did make a point of saying the tonearm costs more than an RP6 deck and arm, so tell us what it is. Rega keep bringing out new tonearm models, am interested to read what model yours is. Good luck with sale. Edited June 10, 2017 by soundfan
awayward Posted June 10, 2017 Posted June 10, 2017 I think a clarifications is required, it is a P9, the RP series are the recent releases, RP6, RP8 and RP10. OP to confirmed.
Marshall_SLX Posted June 10, 2017 Posted June 10, 2017 Its a MKII P9 which has an RB1000 arm and i wish i had the funds!!!!!!!!
Eagleeyes Posted June 10, 2017 Author Posted June 10, 2017 (edited) Yes it's an rp9 which was the rega top turntable and the rb1000 arm which from the website or brochures costs more and takes longer to build than the entire rp6 which was the next deck in the series. The cartridge has the box case and all spares etc and as new. Edited June 10, 2017 by Eagleeyes
awayward Posted June 10, 2017 Posted June 10, 2017 There is no such thing as a RP9, it is a P9, your photos show P9.

Gremrock Posted June 11, 2017 Posted June 11, 2017 You couldn't make a story like that up. Premium P9 pops up for sale only to find the Desired thread to swap one.. You'll have to fight over that jubilee though! 1
Eagleeyes Posted June 11, 2017 Author Posted June 11, 2017 @Gremrock what do you think of the other transrotor turntable
Gremrock Posted June 14, 2017 Posted June 14, 2017 I think it looks pretty cool and I'd swap my LP12 in a heartbeat (except he wouldn't be interested in a massive step down haha) I've never heard one though so id be basing purely on looks, which are awesome.
