The new Rega Planar 3

SWEET! Really nice looking. Wonder what the price will be on it?

Thanks for posting.

(Looks like $799 without cartridge and $899 with the Elys 2 cartridge.)

I also read that Rega is going to reintroduce the Planar 2.

Same glass platter and motor underneath.
How can it best Pioneer PL560? Never.

The good - there are a whole host of third party upgrade options you can install yourself to get much better perfomance.

The bad - the glass platter should have been ditched years ago and replaced with an acrylic platter.

Rega - two changes that should be made
1. Install an acrylic platter
2. Install a Michel Technoweight

These two changes alone elevates the performance to much higher levels of fidelity

The Denon DL 103 moving coil is an excellent match to the arm and better than  ost Rega offerings

The Soundsmith version of the 103 is perhaps the best bang for the buck, offering superb performance.

Regards

I just purchased a planar 3 original.
$200. In mint condition.
I just ordered the upgrade motor kit and the reference belt.
Any advice from you guys.
I had on a DV 10X5 retipped.
Thanks
