UPGRADED DESIGN AND MATERIALS – ELEGANCE AND FUNCTIONALITY

The Planar 3 RS stands out with its HPL laminated plinth, which not only provides a visually impressive satin finish, but also significantly increases rigidity. High Pressure Laminate (HPL) is renowned for its durability and resonance-damping properties, giving the turntable improved precision in sound reproduction. This upgrade, which is also found on Rega's more expensive models such as the Planar 6 and Planar 10, combines function and aesthetics in the most distinguished way.

To further emphasize the exclusive design, the Planar 3 RS has a smoke-colored lid that complements the brushed steel look of the plinth. Together, these elements create a sophisticated and timeless design that fits into any interior.

TECHNICAL UPGRADES – FROM DRIVE BELT TO POWER SUPPLY

Rega has equipped the Planar 3 RS with several technical upgrades that significantly improve performance. The CNC-turned pulley and Reference EBLT drive belt, normally only found on the Planar 6, ensure more precise rotation and reduce wow and flutter to an absolute minimum. This combination provides improved stability that is truly felt in the dynamics and detail of the music.

One of the most notable upgrades is the hand-tuned Neo PSU MK2 power supply. The power supply is individually calibrated to the motor in your particular turntable, ensuring extremely precise speed control and minimal vibration. This power supply, normally sold separately, is a significant addition that provides an audible improvement in sound quality.

RB330 TONEARM – PRECISION WITHOUT COMPROMISE

Rega's RB330 tonearm is a true milestone in tonearm design, offering virtually frictionless movement. The arm is engineered with intelligent mass distribution to reduce resonances and increase stability. The anti-skating system has been upgraded with a handy adjustment slider, making it easy to fine-tune to your preference.

The tonearm's bearing system is designed to minimize wear, increasing longevity and precision. Together with the Nd5 pickup and 12mm thick glass platter, the tonearm ensures that music is reproduced with impressive clarity and depth.

A TURNTABLE WITH EXTRAORDINARY VALUE

The Rega Planar 3 RS offers exceptional value for money. With its many upgrades from the standard model – including the Reference EBLT strap, Neo PSU MK2, and HPL laminated plinth – you get a turntable that exceeds expectations in this price range.

Whether you're new to the world of vinyl or a seasoned collector, the Planar 3 RS is an excellent investment, combining Rega's technological expertise with a sleek, modern design.
