Rega Planar 3 Turntable Hey all, Up for sale is my Rega Planar 3. It was services by the previous owner and the belt replaced. It has an upgraded tonearm which I believe is a Rega Rb-250 and also upgraded feed with better anti vibration pads. For those more knowledgeable than me, please correct me if that tonearm is not the correct model and I will update the ad. The unit is in excellent condition, zero faults. Please see photos. Willing to swap for an amp with VU meters (Technics, Pioneer, etc) preferably in silver or a pair of nice speakers. Condition: Excellent Payment Method
This is a strong deal. Against your AUD comps, A$675 sits below the 25th percentile at A$754 and well under the median of A$833, so it lands in bargain territory rather than merely fair. It is not far above a likely quick-sale floor, which is exactly where a clean used example starts to look very attractive.
A Rega Planar 3 is well-regarded because it’s a simple, low-fuss deck with genuinely good speed stability, rhythm, and upgrade potential; even in stock form it’s a very safe enthusiast choice. At this price, an excellent condition unit is worth moving on quickly if the platter, tonearm, and bearing feel right, and if the cartridge and lid/box are included that only improves the buy.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Rega Research, founded in 1973 in Essex, England, by Roy Gandy and Tony Relph, emerged from Gandy's lifelong passion for vinyl playback. A Ford engineer and music enthusiast, Gandy built his first turntable, the Planet, in his spare time, blending the founders' surnames to create the Rega name. From humble beginnings in a derelict mill, the company quickly gained traction with early models like the Planar 2 and Planar 3, establishing its heritage as a British hi-fi pioneer dedicated to precision engineering and hand-assembly.
Rega specializes in turntables and tonearms, its cornerstone products, but has expanded into a full ecosystem including cartridges, integrated amplifiers like the Elicit and Brio, phono stages such as the Fono, and speakers like the Ela series. While early efforts included loudspeakers and electronics from the 1980s onward, the brand prioritizes vinyl-centric components over headphones, DACs, or cables, all designed in-house for musical fidelity using specialist materials and tight tolerances.
Rega holds a revered position in the high-end hi-fi market as a niche boutique icon, prized by audiophiles for affordable, lifetime-quality performance that emphasizes music over gimmicks. Globally exported to over 50 countries from its Essex facility employing more than 150, it remains a symbol of British ingenuity, with turntables like the Planar series securing enduring loyalty among vinyl revivalists.
