Product Highlights

The Rega Planar 3 RS Special Edition is a manual belt-drive turntable featuring an ultra-rigid High Pressure Laminate plinth with double-brace technology, a 12mm float glass platter, an RB330 precision tonearm, a factory-fitted Nd5 moving magnet cartridge with a nude elliptical stylus, a Reference EBLT belt, and an external Neo MK2 PSU for electronic 33⅓/45 RPM speed control. Building on Rega's iconic platform, this edition uses high-rigidity materials to eliminate unwanted resonances. Its 24V low-noise motor is hand-tuned to the external power supply, delivering exceptional speed stability and refined analog performance.

Reviews widely acclaim the Planar 3 RS Edition for its major leap in clarity, dynamic excitement, and soundstage depth over standard decks. Critics highlight an exceptionally dark, silent background, attributing the low noise floor to the rigid plinth and isolated power supply. Reviewers praise the Nd5 cartridge for extracting rich textures and subtle details, while applauding the deck's snappy rhythm, muscular sound, and effortless speed switching.

Choosing the Planar 3 RS Special Edition provides a complete audiophile solution without the hassle of piecemeal upgrades. By combining an advanced cartridge, external power supply, and reference tonearm into one hand-tuned package, it delivers an engaging, highly detailed soundscape that allows you to experience your record collection at its absolute best.
