Is the Rega Planar 3 worth it?

Conclusion. The Rega Planar 3 is a fantastic turntable for the money. You’re going to get a well constructed turntable with a very solid tonearm and cartridge. On top of that, you’ll easily be able to swap out the cartridge for something better, if you so choose.

Does the Rega Planar 3 need a preamp?

There’s no phono stage built into the Planar 3, so it needs plugging into a suitable phono pre-amplifier before hooking up to your hi-fi’s line input.

Is Rega P6 better than P3?

The Planar 3 has Rega’s new Optiglass platter, which we love. The Planar 6, however, takes things to a different level by adding two more layers of glass. The increased mass from the two extra layers improves the flywheel effect and leads to even better speed stability.

What is the difference between Rega Planar 2 and 3?

The Planar 2 has the new RB220 arm — a one-piece design that provides more rigidity and features Rega’s famous zero tolerance bearings. The Planar 3 includes the new RB330 tonearm with even tighter tolerance bearings and a new tonearm cable clip.
