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.
