Rega P3-24 Colored Turntable

The inspiration for the design of the P3-24 did not come from an evolution of the last P3 2000 model. Rather it came through revisiting the virtues of the original Planar 3 turntable. These virtues gave Rega their design brief: no unnecessary frills, outstanding musical performance at a fair price, reliability, and high quality components.

The new plinth, while slim and attractive, offers high levels of rigidity by using phenolic resin laminates with a high quality edging. It is a considerable improvement over the current P2. The P3-24 uses the same very high performance, low vibration motor, that is used with the P5 & 9 turntables. The clever controlling circuitry can be adjusted for phase angle of the motor coils resulting in very low vibration levels from the motor assembly. This design change gives a considerable performance increase over the P3 2000.

The TT PSU (originally designed for the P7) is included with the colored P3-24, which justifies the prices difference between it and the standard P3-24. Offering heightened musical performance by conditioning the electrical supply with a synthesized low-distortion, crystal-controlled AC input. This also gives the added convenience of electronic speed control.

The RB301 tonearm, the latest version of the classic RB300, is included with the package. It implements an improved vertical bearing housing, which yields more rigidity and reduces stress in the main 13mm bearing. This assembly is topped off with the improved RB700 bias housing phono cable.
