Rega Planar 3 Turntable with Elys 2 MM Cartridge (Gloss Black )
Replacing the multi award winning and five times What Hi-Fi? Product of the Year (RP3) was never going to be an easy task. It took Rega's team of designers headed up by Roy Gandy two years to develop the all new 'Planar 3' following the biggest re-design of the iconic 'Three' model ever seen.
The Rega team has worked tirelessly to improve every aspect of this turntable offering improved ergonomics usability and first and foremost sonic performance. The new ‘Planar 3’ is truly a new turntable for 2016 carrying over just two components from the previous model.
Designed using the latest 3D CAD & CAM technology the new RB330 is the culmination of more than 35 years of tonearm design experience featuring a brand new bearing housing and the latest tonearm tube designed using intelligent redistribution of mass ensure this arm will exhibit fewer points of possible resonance.

Elys 2 Cartridge
Each one of Rega’s moving magnet cartridges are meticulously hand-assembled to the highest standard by their highly trained technicians. The design and assembly procedure are focused on one simple goal extracting as much music from your vinyl as possible.
Each one uses a pair of parallel wound coils which are then carefully assembled on custom jigs to create a working stereo generator. Each cartridge is then tested and checked over two days to ensure all of the strict parameters for each model are met before either packing or fitting to a Rega turntable.
The multi award winning Rega moving magnet range offers unrivalled clarity engaging stereo imaging and a natural dynamic performance putting you in touch with your vinyl collection like never before.
