Rega Planar 3 Turntable 24V Upgraded

Model: Planar 3 24V Upgraded

Serial Number: 278610

The Rega Planar 3 is an absolute classic belt drive turntable. Its features include calibrated, spring-applied tracking force and magnetic bias compensation. Introduced in 1976, the original Planar 3 models came with the Acos derived R200 tonearm, but from 1983 the improved RB300 tonearm was fitted as standard. It wasn’t until 2000 and the arrival of the RP3 that the design was changed, but you would be hard pressed to see the differences. Even the latest version introduced in 2016 still looks very similar to the classic Planar 3 we have here. It has had the 24 Volt upgrade applied and is in good condition noting a few blemishes - please refer to photographs. It will be professionally packaged to ensure safe delivery.

Rega say:

Looking at a Rega turntable you will probably notice a distinct absence of the many gimmicks and gadgets which are currently being fitted to so many record decks. Concentrating much more on high quality, Rega has been able to keep the design simple and very effective.
At every design stage Rega has considered the effect on reproduced music and engineered the wow, flutter and rumble so that the ear is least annoyed. Thus they achieve far better music reproduction than a turntable designed only to perform well into test equipment.
The Planar 3 has been developed to extract the ultimate in sound quality from the Planar design. The turntable is engineered from 12 mm plate glass and covered with 3 mm thick natural felt. This combination helps stop high frequency vibration feedback to the record and assists the rest of your equipment to produce a stable stereo image and clear, un-muddled sound.
Careful attention to every minor detail of assembly is important and the designer personally checks every turntable. This means that only limited quantities are available.

HiFi Choice magazine said in 1984 that the Planar 3 sounded “nicely musical in a balanced and coherent manner. Presentation of detail was considered well above average”
