RB3000

The RB3000 is the Planar 10's tonearm, and the tolerances are the story: it is built so tightly that no adhesive is used anywhere in its construction, and each bearing is hand-selected as an interference fit with its spindle — matched inside and out — to squeeze the last detail from the groove. The award-winning aluminium tube is hand-polished to keep mass to a minimum. This is a reference arm, meant for a deck and cartridge that can show what it does; below it the RB880 covers most needs, but if you are chasing the top of what vinyl holds, the RB3000 is the step.
