Is Rega on Sale? November 2026

Questions and answers

What makes the Planar 3 different from cheaper Rega decks?

The Planar 3 uses the RB330 tonearm and a stiffer plinth than the Planar 1, plus a 24V motor with a separate speed control. The Elys 2 cartridge comes fitted and aligned. That puts it closer to Rega's higher models in arm and motor quality.

Does the Planar 3 come with a cartridge?

This version ships with the Elys 2 moving-magnet cartridge mounted and aligned at the factory. You still need a phono stage, since the deck has no built-in one. A moving-magnet input on your amp or a separate stage is enough.

Can I change the speed between 33 and 45?

Yes. Speed changes are made with the Neo power supply or by moving the belt on the pulley, depending on the version. The 24V motor is designed for stable speed, and an external supply is the usual upgrade path.

What does Rega's warranty cover?

Rega turntables typically carry a warranty against manufacturing defects, and the tonearm and motor are covered under it. Keep the receipt from an authorized dealer, since coverage runs through the dealer. Wear items like the stylus are not covered.

Is the Planar 3 hard to set up?

Setup is simple: fit the platter and belt, balance the tonearm and set the tracking force. The cartridge is already aligned. Budget some time for leveling the deck, since a stable surface matters more than most adjustments.

Are there Rega discount codes?

Deal.ai checks what Rega products actually cost at every store, so a real markdown shows on this page as a deal as soon as it starts, and each product's page has its price history to tell a sale from its usual price.
