Rega’s Planar 3 ECO Turntable

In-store purchase only

Rega’s Planar 3 is faster, tighter and more neutral than ever, and offers a taste of high-end analogue sound. Remarkably good at the price, it’s a lovely design to look at and live with too.
Sonically it holds its own against turntables at twice the price.

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

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