Enhanced Technology
The new Planar 3 RS Edition takes this design philosophy to the next level, using a High Pressure Laminate, (HPL) usually reserved for the Planar 6, planar 8 and Planar 10 models for increased rigidity. Double – brace system strengthens the structural core between tonearm and bearing.
NEO MK2 External Power Supply
The RS Edition includes a custom matched Neo MK2 PSU with each motor vibration circuit hand tuned to each individual motor. The 24v motor drives the sub platter via Reference EBLT drive belt for ultimate accuracy on speed control.
The Planar 3 RS Edition is a substantial leap forward for acoustic fidelity and design refinement - delivers real-world upgrades (plinth, PSU, cartridge, belt) in a single, elegant package.

Rega Planar 3 RS Edition review
Clever upgrades improve the standard Planar 3 recipe to an elevated performance for a competitive price; the RS Edition is a beautifully made deck that sounds fantastic
EAR HI-FI MUSIC GEAR
Rega Planar 3 RS Edition for the joy of vinyl
Whether such refinements enhance the enjoyment of the music will depend on your system and tastes and as I have hopefully explained the Planar 3 RS Edition is a stonkingly good turntable.

Rega Planar 3 RS Edition Turntable Review
The Planar 3 RS manages to act as a partial replacement for the excellent Anniversary model while looking and feeling different again. This is a decent dose of what higher end Rega TTs can do at a pretty much terrestrial price point and the result is fabulous.
