Rega Planar 3 Turntable - Product Description
Music lovers may think vinyl records are outdated. However, the Rega Planar 3 turntable shows vinyl is popular. It has a great design and sound. This turntable delivers an amazing audio experience.
**New RB330 Tonearm**
The latest Rega Planar 3, released in 2016, was redesigned from previous models. The standout upgrade is the new RB330 tonearm. It has low-friction bearings, tighter construction, a new counterweight, and a fresh arm tube. These updates improve plug-and-play ease.
High-gloss Acrylic Laminate Plinth
The Rega Planar 3 has a sleek new look with a glossy acrylic laminate plinth. It's lighter and stiffer than before. But the new design doesn't affect sound quality. It reduces unwanted resonance for better platter stability.
Upgraded Main Bearings & Sub-platter Design
Another significant improvement is the upgraded main bearing. It now has a better brass housing for higher precision and reduced friction. Plus, the sub-platter has a stiffer design to minimize noise. These upgrades make a significant difference in sound quality.
Double Brace Technology
Rega implemented its patented 'double brace technology' for this turntable model. An upper brace connects the tonearm mountings to the outer plinth, prevents energy absorption and resonance. The addition ensures the turntable remains rigid, which is crucial for any turntable and significantly improves the sound quality.
Highly Precise Platter
The Rega Planar 3 features an extremely accurate float glass 'Optiwhite' 12mm platter. Its increased precision enhances speed stability, which improves audio reproduction. Additionally, the 'Optiwhite' platter is finely polished, which reduces friction and diminishes vibration, creating a smooth, consistent rotation.
