In a remarkable upgrade to its iconic vinyl player lineup, Rega has unveiled the Planar 3 RS Edition, a turntable that enhances both aesthetic appeal and auditory performance. The British audio manufacturer has constructed the RS Edition with a brand-new aluminium metal skin HPL laminate, creating the stiffest plinth in the Planar 3 series to date. Featuring a dark brushed metallic finish complemented by high-gloss black edges, the RS Edition not only performs with precision but also serves as a stunning visual centerpiece for any audio enthusiast’s collection.

Custom-matched Neo MK2 Power Supply

One of the standout features of the Planar 3 RS Edition is its custom-matched Neo MK2 Power Supply Unit (PSU). Each motor vibration circuit is meticulously hand-tuned to the individual motor, ensuring that the low noise 24V motor provides exceptional performance. This motor drives the sub-platter using Rega’s Reference EBLT drive belt, which is engineered for impeccable accuracy in speed control—critical for delivering the best sound quality.

Design details

Rega’s commitment to lightweight, ultra-rigid designs is well established, with its original Planar range laying the groundwork for high-performance turntables. The RS Edition elevates this philosophy through the use of High Pressure Laminate (HPL), a material typically reserved for more advanced models such as the Planar 6, Planar 8, and Planar 10. This advancement offers increased rigidity, ultimately enhancing sound quality by minimizing unwanted vibrations.

The Planar 3 RS Edition’s plinth design showcases a sophisticated double brace system, strategically positioned between the tonearm mounting and the main hub bearing. This creates a structurally robust “stressed beam” assembly that efficiently prevents energy absorption and unwanted resonance, thereby avoiding distortions that could detract from the listening experience. Heavier mass components are adeptly managed through the use of braces that contribute to enhanced rigidity without transferring excess energy from components like motors or bearings directly into the vinyl being played.

New RB330 tonearm and Nd5 moving magnet cartridge

At the heart of the RS Edition is the handmade RB330 tonearm, revered for its precision and stability. Designed using cutting-edge 3D CAD and CAM technology, the RB330 tonearm exhibits zero play in its bearings and features friction-free movement, ensuring minimal interference with sound fidelity. Complementing the tonearm is the new Nd5 moving magnet cartridge, which has been praised for its impressive soundstage and clarity. Each Nd5 is handcrafted, featuring an elliptical nude diamond stylus and innovative generator geometry that facilitates superior channel balance and cross-talk characteristics. Recent reviews have heralded the Nd5 as one of the top cartridges available in its price range, affirming Rega’s reputation for marrying craftsmanship with performance.

The Planar 3 RS Edition also incorporates advanced technology in its power supply and bearing construction. The Neo MK2 PSU allows user-controlled speed adjustments and features an anti-vibration motor circuit, reducing motor noise. Additionally, the patented brass main hub central bearing has been re-engineered for improved fit and durability.

For seasoned audiophiles and analog newbies

The Rega Planar 3 RS Edition is not just a turntable; it represents the pinnacle of modern vinyl playback. For audiophiles seeking a combination of artistry and engineering, Rega has set a new benchmark with this exceptional offering, ensuring that the music plays as it was intended to be experienced.
