From the original version to today's Planar 3, many technical commonalities remain. But over the years, the Planar has been continuously developed, always with a focus on a love for sonic perfection. The anniversary version of the Planar 3 thus embodies the non plus ultra. Highlights from other models are used at crucial points.
One feature of the 50th Anniversary model is the external Neo PSU Mk2 motor control, which powers the Planar 3's 24-volt motor. It makes the device immune to mains frequency fluctuations, leading to an extremely stable power supply. This in turn ensures constant speed and precision of the platter, which directly affects sound quality. Rega recommends positioning the power supply as far as possible from the turntable to minimize any electrical interference.
The 12 mm thick Float Glass platter, with a polished edge and extremely low tolerances, contributes to the stability and precision of the turntable. The EBLT reference drive belt and the special aluminum drive pulley, borrowed from the Planar 6, ensure perfect speed stability and optimal performance.
The Reference EBLT belt also contributes to the audiophile quality of the Planar 3. This belt has been meticulously manufactured to ensure minimal friction and maximum stability. This minimizes the transmission of vibrations to the tonearm and cartridge system, allowing for clearer and more detailed sound.
The Rega RB330 tonearm is another highlight. It features a low-mass aluminum tonearm tube and a redesigned vertical bearing housing. It is the result of years of development work and offers a precise and high-quality construction. This tonearm enables precise tracking of record grooves and minimizes distortion, thereby elevating sound quality to an impressive level. In combination with the handmade Rega Exact cartridge, truly audiophile.
The use of walnut laminate gives the turntable timeless elegance and a warm, natural appeal that harmonizes with various interior styles.
Overall, the 50th Anniversary model of the Planar 3 offers a combination of technical innovations that translate into impressive sound quality.
Come and let yourself be enchanted by its sonic and aesthetic charm. An audiophile experience awaits you!
