Description

The Rega Planar 3 is an absolute classic turntable with belt-drive and AC synchronous motor. Its features also 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 P3 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 is in fully working condition noting some marking to the plinth and the lid - please refer to photographs. As always, our classic three month warranty is supplied but please note this does not cover the fitted Carbon cartridge.

Reviews

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” For a full review from U.S. publication Stereophile please click here
