Rega Turntable Ball Bearing Replacement & Upgrade | Original & Ceramic

Upgrade your vinyl listening experience or restore your turntable to factory perfection. Choose between the official Rega Original Steel Ball Bearing or the premium Perform Zirconia Oxide Ceramic Ball Bearing Upgrade.

A turntable's central hub depends entirely on a flawless point of contact. These high-grade bearings are engineered to be extremely smooth and perfectly round, which is vital for the low-friction, ultra-low-noise rotation of your platter. By minimising friction, you reduce the noise floor, resulting in blacker backgrounds, improved detail retrieval, and noticeably better, quieter sound quality.

Why Upgrade to a Ceramic Ball Bearing?

The Audiophile Advantage: Zirconia Oxide Ceramic is significantly harder and smoother than standard steel. Upgrading to a ceramic bearing reduces friction inside the spindle well even further, minimising mechanical rumble and protecting your spindle axle from long-term wear.

Compatibility

Perfect fit for standard Rega main hub bearings, including popular models such as the Rega Planar 1, Planar 2, Planar 3, P3-24, RP1, RP3, RP6, and older vintage Rega turntables.
