The new Rega Planar S3 Edition features High Pressure Laminate (HPL), a material typically reserved for the brand’s higher-end models.
HPL is usually found in Rega’s Planar 6, 8, and 10 turntables, where it enhances rigidity and improves performance. This material is part of what sets those premium models apart. Now, with the Rega Planar S3 Edition, HPL makes its way into a more accessible option. The package also includes a NEO PSU power supply and an MD5 cartridge. The turntable’s design features brushed aluminum accents, while the plinth is available in high-gloss black, white, red, or light finishes. A matching dust cover is included, creating a convenient plug-and-play setup.
For those seeking near-top-tier performance at a reasonable price, this turntable offers a compelling choice. The Planar S3 Edition is priced at £999.
