Excellent sound, classic design
Calibration markings on tone arm off
If you want quality sound from your vinyl LPs, you won't go wrong with the Rega Planar 3 turntable, especially fitted with Rega Exact cartridge. But if you don't have a stylus pressure gauge or balance yourself, I'd strongly recommend borrowing one from t...

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...

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

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...
Exzellentes Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis als Plug-And-Play-Komplettpaket. Hervorragender Radial-Tonarm. Mit höherwertigem Pickup und externem Netzteil TT PSU sukzessive zu tunen
Drehzahlwechsel von 33 auf 45 umständlich, Leichte Brummeinstreuungen des eingebauten Netzteils zur Innenrille hin, Tondose Elys 2 klingt am MM-Normanschluss etwas unausgewogen, Füsse nicht höhenverstellbar
Der Teller aus Glas sollte für den Betrieb mit einer Filzmatte beauflagt werden. So schön er auch "oben ohne" aussieht.Regas neuer 3er ist nicht nur schöner, sondern auch besser als sein Vorgänger. Und dabei im Preis absolut moderat geblieben. Ein Komplet...
