HIGHLIGHTS

• HPL-laminated plinth for increased rigidity and an attractive satin finish.
• Individually customized Neo PSU MK2 power supply for maximum precision.
• CNC-machined pulley and Reference EBLT drive belt from the Planar 6.
• High-precision RB330 tonearm with intelligent mass distribution.

UPGRADED DESIGN AND MATERIALS – ELEGANCE AND FUNCTIONALITY

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

To further emphasize its exclusive design, the Planar 3 RS features a smoked dust cover 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 noticeably elevate performance. The CNC-machined pulley and Reference EBLT drive belt, normally found only on the Planar 6, ensure more precise rotation and reduce wow and flutter to an absolute minimum. This combination provides improved stability that can truly be felt in the music’s dynamics and level of detail.

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 specific turntable, ensuring extremely precise speed control and minimal vibration. This power supply, which is normally sold separately, is a major addition that delivers an audible improvement in sound quality.

RB330 TONEARM – PRECISION WITHOUT COMPROMISE

Rega’s RB330 tonearm is a true milestone in tonearm design and offers nearly friction-free movement. The arm is engineered with intelligent mass distribution that reduces resonance and increases stability. The anti-skating system has been upgraded with a practical adjustment slider, making it easy to fine-tune to your preferences.

The arm’s bearing system is designed to minimize wear, increasing lifespan and precision. Together with the Nd5 cartridge and the 12 mm thick glass platter, the tonearm ensures that the 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 over the standard model – including the Reference EBLT belt, Neo PSU MK2, and the HPL-laminated plinth – you get a turntable that exceeds expectations in this price range.

Whether you are new to the world of vinyl or an experienced collector, the Planar 3 RS is an excellent investment that combines Rega’s technological expertise with an attractive, modern design.
