  • Truly outstanding sound quality for the asking price, Well built, Easy to use
  • Slightly more expensive than outgoing model, No arm VTA, Cartridge very good rather than great
  • Any criticisms I've made of the Planar 3 need to be placed in the context that there isn't another £550 turntable that I've heard that provides such a fearsome performance basis for any cartridge as the Planar 3. With the launch of this deck and the annou...

  • Cohesive, rhythm and dynamic presentation, Plenty of insight, Great fun to listen to, Well made and nicely finish, Easy to use,
  • Like all turntables needs care in positioning,
  • Rega has been developing the Planar 3 for decades and there's no doubt the product has steadily improved over the years.We think this new version is the best RP3 yet, adding extra servings of clarity, precision and insight to an already musical sound. Wan...

  • Abstract:  Before Rega, the Linn Sondk LP12 was conspicuously rhythmic and musical in a way no other record deck could match. Then, suddenly, the Planar 3 appeared—and seemed to out-boogie the pricier (more bourgeois) Linn decks. Unfortunately, back around 1980, I t...

  • Der Rega Planar 3 kann als hochgradig ausgereiftes Produkt bezeichnet werden. Es spricht sehr für den Hersteller, dass er buchstäblich seit Jahrzehnten darum ringt, diesen Schallplattenspieler innerhalb seiner Produkt- und Preisklasse immer wieder in Frag...
