You’ve had the P range, and the RP range, maybe now it will all just be the R range. Or PR (Planer de Rega 
).

Looks very similar to last years anniversary edition
Lots of reasons not to fly in that helicopter, but the tail is a big plus.

The planar 3 has not changed, it just now by default comes with the nd3 cartridge instead of the elys 2.
But they say “the new Planar “. They give some informations about the changes.
From Rega site:
“ The new Planar 3 takes this design philosophy to the next level. A lightweight acrylic laminated plinth strengthened using a new improved double brace system mounted specifically where the increased rigidity is required (between the tonearm mounting and the main hub bearing) which forms a structurally sound “stressed beam” assembly. This rigid plinth design prevents energy absorption and unwanted resonance, which will add unnatural distortions to the music. Equally, heavier mass can transfer more unwanted energy, such as motor or bearing noise directly into the rotating record. The use of braces instead of the complete skin allows double thickness phenolic resin in these key areas while providing further weight reduction to the plinth which directly addresses the issue of mass absorption and unwanted energy transmission.”
According to the Rega website all that is “new” about the Planar 3 is the option of an oak finish plinth but this was from May this year. Plus as you said the new cartridge spec.
Confusing so. Thanks to clarify.
