New Rega Planar 3 ECO

Hi-Fi Corner

I see that this week, Rega has released an ECO version of the Planar 3 priced at £499 announced last month but dealers seem to have them just now.

The ECO 3 is a Planar 3 RS (using the same base) but made with parts that have been rejected from first condition production with small cosmetic only faults. Rega says they are to the same spec sonically.

I suppose it is a bit of a hybrid of the normal and RS planar 3 model, as it does not have a separate power supply. The £499 price is without a cartridge, so an ND3 or ND5, for example, will bump the price up by around £200-300. The power supply can also be retrofitted.

Still cheaper than a normal Planar 3, so if someone is on a budget, it could be worth considering.

Nice! Look like a win-win-win situation.
I would buy with confidence from a company like Rega.

Not everybody is confortable buying second hand audio gears. It took me years of slow learning before finding what to look for, what to avoid to be in my comfort zone.

This can be, indeed, a great opportunity for customers on a budget or just like me a vinyl tourist. :slight_smile:
