"Replacing the multi award winning and five times What Hi-Fi? Product of the Year (RP3) was never going to be an easy task. It took our team of designers headed up by Rega's Roy Gandy, two years to develop the all new 'Planar 3' following the biggest re-design of the iconic 'three' model ever seen." - Rega

LAB REVIEW

The Planar 3 is the latest in a long line of Rega audiophile turntables, preceeded by the RP3, multiple generations of the P3, and the original Planar 3 of 1977. This iteration of the turntable, 2 years in the making, features the impressive debut of the RB330 tonearm, 12mm Optiwhite glass platter, redesigned subplatter and main bearing housing, and numerous other revisions resulting in remarkable performance and stunning design.

"Rega has worked tirelessly to improve every aspect of this turntable offering improved ergonomics, usability and first and foremost, sonic performance.The new ‘Planar 3’ is truly a new turntable for 2016 carrying over just two components from the previous model."
