About the RB101

The Rega RB-101 tonearm is a budget-friendly, hand-assembled tonearm that replaces the RB100 and is standard on the Rega RP1 turntable. It features a simple machined aluminum arm tube with a bonded headshell, stainless steel arm stub and lateral bearing housing, and a magnetic anti-skating mechanism. The vertical bearings are supported on one side only to accommodate a vertical tracking force (VTF) adjuster on the opposite side. The counterweight is made of stainless steel, and the arm uses a simple VTF adjustment by rotating the weight 180 degrees for 1 gram of tracking force. The RB-101 is designed for excellent value and performance at a retail price under £100, making it suitable for entry-level turntables. It is compatible with cartridges like the Ortofon OM5e and is praised for its build quality and ease of setup.
