Rega Planar 3 Turntable

The Rega Planar 3 elevates analog listening with modern design and refined engineering. This reimagined classic features the RB330 tonearm, precision components, and a revamped structure for clearer, more engaging playback—all with intuitive setup and exceptional value.

Highlights That Make It Shine

Redesigned Engineering Legacy
Nearly every component—plinth, platter, sub-platter, tonearm, main bearing, bracing, and feet—has been updated for improved sonic performance.

RB330 Precision Tonearm
Featuring extremely low-friction bearings, integrated arm clip, improved bias housing, and balanced stability, resulting in enhanced tracking and detail retrieval.

Optiwhite Glass Platter & Reinforced Plinth
A 12 mm polished-edge float-glass platter with higher manufacturing tolerances, paired with a stiffer, stronger plinth for reduced vibration and resonance.

With the Planar 3, expect tighter bass, more expressive midrange, and a wider, deeper soundstage. Compared to the Planar 1, it delivers richer detail, smoother dynamics, and greater musical presence—without sacrificing Rega’s signature ease of use.

Why Choose the Rega Planar 3?

A 24 V low-noise asynchronous motor, redesigned sub-platter, and improved bearing housing maintain consistent speed and lifelike musical rhythm.
