To celebrate their 40th anniversary, Rega has just introduced a limited-edition turntable based on their award-winning RP3. The RP40 Anniversary Edition is available in a limited quantity supplied on a first come first served basis and is exclusively available during 2013 only. The RP40 is supplied with a special edition white Elys40 cartridge, carefully tested to the highest achievable specification offering improved stereo imaging, balance and detail.

A new Silicon drive belt exclusive to RP40 derived from development work on their ultimate turntable the Naiad (expected later this year). These belts are manufactured on a new tool to guarantee a stable diameter over the full circumference of the belt offering improved speed stability while reducing flutter. A custom TT-PSU hand tuned to each individual motor before fitting to the deck is included (a level of fine tuning only found on the RP8 and previously the Planar 9 turntable). This will maximize the efficiency of the anti-vibration circuit while still offering the convenience of electronic speed change.

The Rega Saturn CD player offers the critical listener a higher level of musical discernment much like as one experiences from scaling up to a reference quality turntable. This has been achieved through painstaking research, convergent technologies and the application of 32 years experience in producing the finest in analog audio electronics.

Features
- CD player in black finish
- Two parallel connected Wolfson WM8740 dual differential digital to analogue converters improving the dynamic range and linearity
- Master clock provided by a high-stability, low-jitter crystal oscillator module
- Substantial 60VA toroidal transformer with separate windings for audio, digital and display circuits
- Digital to analogue converters utilizing solid polymer de-coupling capacitors
- Post DAC analogue amplifier and filter employ a cascade pair discrete class A amplifier using low base spreading resistance transistors
- Large double-sided PTH PCB with generous ground planes
- Unique high-tech operating system that optimizes itself for each CD
- Brand new transport mechanism, with the latest signal processing techniques and servo giving the best data retrieval
- MP3 and WMA Media capabilities
- Ultra high memory capacity meaning that error correction need not affect sound quality
- Rega custom built extruded aluminum case
- Solid aluminum front panel
- 'Toslink' & coaxial digital outputs
- New Rega CDP remote (in black) supplied as standard
