FAQ: Everything you need to know before buying the REGA RB330 Counterweight

Which Rega turntables is this counterweight compatible with?

It fits the Rega RB330 tonearm fitted to the Rega P3 and Planar 3 turntables. For any other model in our range of Rega manual turntables, first check the exact reference of the fitted tonearm.

How do I balance the tonearm after fitting the counterweight?

The counterweight is first used to balance the arm, before adjusting the tracking force recommended by your cartridge manufacturer. The method is shown step by step in our mounting and setup video tutorials, including one dedicated to the Rega Planar 3.

Which tool should I use to check the tracking force?

A stylus force gauge gives a reliable reading of the pressure the stylus applies to the record. The Rega Atlas MK2 stylus force gauge measures from 0 to 3 g with an accuracy of ±0.01 g, suitable for both MM and MC cartridges.

Is this counterweight made by Rega?

Yes: this is an original Rega counterweight, produced in the UK. You will find it alongside the other turntable accessories in our catalogue.
