It’s the Planar 3 50th Anniversary… version 2.0.<\/p>\n\n\n

\"Rega<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

The Planar 3 50th Anniversary Edition in 2023 was a huge success. So much so that long after exhausting stock, we continue to be asked whether we have any remaining.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Luckily, Rega<\/a> have heard our pleas and the new Planar 3 RS Edition<\/a> (R<\/strong>ega S<\/strong>pecial) serves as a pseudo follow up to the Anniversary Edition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the first time, the Planar 3 has been manufactured using a special High Pressure Laminate (usually reserved for Planar 6<\/a>, Planar 8<\/a> and Planar 10<\/a>) in addition to Rega’s double brace system to improve rigidity and prevent unwanted resonance over the standard model. This new premium finish has a stunning real brushed aluminium satin finish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The plinth is edged with high gloss black to set off the metal finish and is supplied with a smoked dustcover to guarantee this product will sit with other hi-fi equipment in any environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Planar 3 RS Edition<\/a> is supplied with a hand tuned Neo PSU MK2<\/a> power supply providing user controllable fine speed adjustment and convenient electronic speed change as well as coming factory fitted with the brand-new award winning Nd5<\/a> moving magnet cartridge to create the ultimate Planar 3 at an incredible price of \u00a3999.00<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The package represents a \u00a3156.00 saving<\/strong> on the individually bought products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
