Dear rega Fans

We are very pleased to be able to give you official pre-launch information about the first new Rega turntable product for 2016.

The iconic ?3? model remains the most important product in the Rega range. Replacing the multi award winning and five times What Hi-Fi? Product of the Year was never going to be an easy task.

After two years of development we have now finished the design and are sure you will be extremely pleased with the result.

We are planning to give the first public showing at this year?s What-HiFi? Bristol Sound and Vision show starting on February 26th, with the product becoming available to ship in April 2016.

We will announce the product officially on the same day via the Rega website.

The new ?Planar 3? is a completely new turntable for 2016 and a complete departure from the last RP model.

New features.
