Rega Planar 3 Turntable – No Cartridge

The Planar 3 is the turntable most Rega owners stay with. In production in one form or another since 1977, it pairs Rega's hand-assembled RB330 tonearm with a lightweight, double-braced plinth and a 12 mm Optiwhite glass platter.

This Planar 3 is supplied without a cartridge, so you choose the one that suits your system. The Rega Nd3 is the natural moving magnet match. For more detail, the Ania moving coil steps it up, though it needs an MC phono stage.

Cartridge and phono stage needed. Fit a cartridge, then connect the turntable to an amplifier with a phono input, such as the Rega Elex MK4 or Elicit MK5, or to a separate phono preamp.
