Replacing the multi award winning What Hi-Fi? Product of the Year (RP3) was never going to be an easy task. It took our team of designers headed up by Rega’s Roy Gandy, two years to develop the all new ‘Planar 3’ following the biggest re-design of the iconic ‘Three’ model ever seen. The ‘Planar 3’ is a completely new turntable carrying over just two components from the previous RP model.
Rega has pioneered the use of lightweight rigid plinths. Clever use of lightweight particulate core with a highly rigid phenolic resin skin became the foundations of the high level of performance achieved by the now iconic original Planar range.
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.
RB330
The RB330 tonearm was designed using the latest 3D CAD & CAM technology, and is the culmination of more than 35 years of tonearm design experience. Featuring a brand new bearing housing, and our latest tonearm tube designed using intelligent redistribution of mass ensure this arm will exhibit fewer points of possible resonance. Extreme stability with almost friction free movement from the new high precision bearing assemblies guarantees to gather more information from your vinyl than ever before.

Talk about hifipro
It was in 2016 that the idea of an e-commerce site for the sale of new products was born: HIFIPRO. Mario Gagnon, owner of the second-hand Audio store since 1985, nurtured his passion for music since childhood. This enthusiasm allowed him to excel in his studies and projects. Dedication, time and love for sound and its reproduction led him to open his own store. It will quickly become a reference in the sale of high fidelity devices in Canada. He and his colleagues spend a lot of time following progress and new developments in order to stay up to date with the latest technologies. After more than 30 years of success, Used Audio has acquired a very loyal customer base, participated in and obtained several recognitions from consumers and professionals during several exhibitions. For several years now, they have been shipping items across Canada, so Mario decided to create HIFIPRO. It is with great confidence that he and his team are ready to offer you the best products and services. Our goal is to help you make the best possible choice according to your needs and criteria.
