    The Vertere RG-1 Reference Groove Record Player is a high-end turntable that incorporates carefully-considered design choices to provide peerless performance and the most silent platform for the arm and cartridge. With a super precision main bearing and a two-piece non-resonant platter assembly, the RG-1 offers an unparalleled vinyl listening experience that brings every note and word to life.

    Vertere RG-1 Reference Groove Record Player

    Re-create the live music experience with Record Player RG-1 Reference Groove, Vertere’s finest model and first choice among the world’s high-end turntables. Record Player RG-1 Reference Groove embodies all Vertere’s unrivalled expertise in quality audio engineering, high-end hi-fi systems and turntables.

    Offering peerless performance through uncompromising engineering, Vertere’s Record Player RG-1 Reference Groove incorporates innumerable carefully-considered design choices that make it supreme among turntables. The RG-1 includes a super precision main bearing and a two-piece non-resonant platter assembly to provide the most silent platform for the arm and the cartridge. The result is the ‘darkest’ background achievable from vinyl, against which every note played and every word sung comes to life.

    The main bearing assembly comprises an aerospace-grade phosphor bronze housing, a super-precision tungsten carbide spindle and silicon nitride ball. The housing is machined and finished to the tightest of tolerances, with the bearing spindle sized to ensure the minimum gap possible between the spindle and the housing. The only contact is between the spindle and the precision ball supporting it at the bottom.

    The design of the bearing assembly ensures that the ball is housed absolutely central to the spindle. The main bearing is lubricated using Vertere’s proprietary bearing oil, L-1G, which ensures almost perfectly silent running. This lubricating oil is formulated with anti-friction, anti-foaming, water repellent and cooling agents for longevity and best performance..

    RG-1 Reference Motor Drive

    RG-1 Reference Motor Drive with its most advanced control circuit design, implemented to its limits, allows us to achieve maximum performance from our world renowned RG-1 Reference Record Player & Reference Tonearm.
    There are 7 speed adjustments via the front rotary knob allowing fine and exact ‘fixed’ speed selection of +/- 0.25%, 0.50%, 0.75%, 1.00%, 1.50%, 2.00% and 3.00% about the original 33 & 45 rpm.
    RG-1 Motor Drive takes full control of the record player motor and provides the smoothest drive with minimum noise and distortion. The music that is extracted from the vinyl unbelievably resembles the original master that the record was cut from. Closest to the original master.

    Platter Insert

    Topside of the RG‐1 platter insert is precision machined to provide the bonding area for the 2mm cast Acrylic record interface disc.

    The underside, on the other hand, is done as the precise fit to the topside of the main platter.

    Six small stainless screws, from the underside ensure the two pieces are held perfectly together in non‐resonant state.

    Special Metallic Finishes

    Special Metallic Black, Pearlescent White & Champagne finishes available for the RG-1 record player at a premium

    The Vertere emblem printed on the top plinth adds the final finishing touch.

    • RG-1 Record Player is supplied with Plinth, RG Bearing, 2-piece Platter & Tempo Motor Drive, Tonearm not included.
