Arcam tells us that the rPlay uses the finest quality parts, in a layout optimised for low noise and minimum distortion. The four-layer PCB design maximises the quality of the ground plane in order to further reduce interference between components. As well as a fixed line level analogue output, the rPlay also features a variable analogue output which uses the same expensive volume control as the A49 flagship amplifier. 

Designed specifically to upgrade any built-in phono stage or to add a turntable input to an existing amplifier, the rPhono is the latest addition to Arcam’s extensive Black Box rSeries. Moving-coil users will benefit from precision impedance matching using high-quality trimmers instead of discrete steps, while moving-magnet users have a wide variety of capacitance options to choose from. An optionally selectable low frequency “rumble” filter is claimed to eliminate the effects of warping or pressing irregularities, which can be present on some vinyl. 

Both products will be publically launched at  the Bristol Show and are expected to cost £399 each. You can find out more about the rPlay here and the rPhono here.
