Rega Planar 3 RS Edition - an update to the famous turntable
23.11.2024 10:00 | ~1 minute read
Rega Research has introduced an improved version of its probably most popular turntable, the Rega Planar 3 - now in the Rega Special series. The Rega Planar 3 RS Edition is made using a special high-pressure laminate (HPL), which is usually used in the senior models of Rega players - Planar 6, Planar 8 and Planar 10. The rigidity of the structure with this approach is significantly improved - as a result, the sound quality has also increased.
The Rega Planar 3 RS Edition vinyl turntable is finished in matte aluminum, and the base has a black piano lacquer edging. A stylish dust cover is also included.
The Rega Planar 3 RS Edition (Rega Special) turntable comes with a Rega RB330 tonearm, a Rega Neo PSU MK2 external power supply and a factory-fitted Rega Nd5 moving magnet (MM) cartridge. The turntable is available to order now for €1,299.
