The Rega P3 is one of the best bang-for-your-buck turntables. Adding these features and looks makes it a no-brainer if you're in the market for a turntable around this price point.
Outstanding ! It’s a video about a turntable. Words like fantastic, outstanding and great, have been watered down to mean very little these days. It was talking with some friends the other day one said “if you except mediocrity you will receive it”.
Because of the great value cost, I'm looking to get one in a month's time. Thankfully, I live in the UK and the cost is £899.00 which equates today to $1,168.34. Obviously it's more expensive in the USA due to being imported.
That has been a long running debate. You have many turntables in the Rega camp and you can’t argue with their success, especially the critical acclaim on their latest top of the line. And you have the weight camp. Both have merits.
Sonos Devices are dual voltage and no converter or transformer is required for any Sonos product. All devices will work with the common 110 volts and 230 volts power supply found throughout the world, including the Sonos One.
I tried a Neo p.s. no difference in sound quality to me when comparing to wall wart type.So I think is way over priced just to be able to switch to 45 rpm,which most serious listeners do not use.
I’ve got a Rega Planar 3 50th Anniversary edition connected to my Edifier S3000 Pro speakers, but the audio is very quiet. Is there a reason someone knows for why this is happening?
That would make sense as those do not have a phono input. You need this and a pair of audio cables. www.audioadvice.com/turntables/phono-preamps/pro-ject-phono-box-mm-phono-preamp-black
My rp3 50th has sound coming from right channel only, but when i remove the right rca, sound start coming from left channel…weird and dont know how to fix it
That is very odd. If you purchased your Rega from Audio Advice please reach out to us for technical assistance. Otherwise you should contact the dealer you used.
Hey, how the ania pro will work with the p3 anniversary ? I'm considering to replace the exact to ania pro... Have the aria 3 phono stage. Any thoughts or recommendations?? Tnx a lot
Yes, you need a Moving Magnet phono stage. We recommend this one: www.audioadvice.com/rega-fono-mm-mk5-phono-preamp Unless you have a receiver or amp with a phono input already, then you could just plug into that one. Hope that helps!
That is true but don't knock it till you've heard it. They are so popular Ortofon now makes a range of cartridges the same height as the Rega ones. Thanks for watching
@@AudioAdvice Although that may be true, under that logic I would now be limited to Ortofon cartridges only, LOL doesn't really solve the problem...... Don't want to use spacers...... Also, "HiViNews" on TH-cam did a direct comparison between the Technics 1200 versus the P3. The 1200 came out in top in terms of dynamics and 3D presentation.... I also think the P1 with an Nagoka cartridge and a Schiit Mani preamp sounds better than the P3. Which is a bit strange.
I picked up this TT this year, (from AudioAdvice), but decided on the Nagaoka MP-200 over the Exact cart that it came with. You can shim the tonearm/cartridge If you use a different cart and want to try and maintain close to a desirable 92 degree SRA-stylus rake angle and a 20 degree VTA-vertical tracking angle of the stylus-cantilever. A lot of fancy lingo that means, just level the tonearm for the most part, lol. (then adjust the VTF- vertical tracking force and recheck the azimuth). No shims needed for the MP-200, tonearm sits perfect.
Great stuff! My Planar 3 just turned 21 years old, & it's still rocking my vinyl!
Thanks for sharing, yes they run for decades
This is a really nice looking turntable. Planar 3 tables are legendary and this is a wonderful hot-rod version.
Yes it is, incredible performance for the money.

We agree, thanks for watching
That finish is beautiful. No reason not to get this over the standard model while it's available. Thanks for the excellent overview!
Glad you like it!
Love my P3!
Love to hear it!
I bought one of these 2 months ago and absolutely love it, even traded in my Planar 2
Thanks for sharing, you must not be in the US.
@@AudioAdvice UK but everything you said is spot on
@@TheHutchRuns Thanks, we got Rega to send us the first one that came into the US and it was pretty spectacular. Thanks again for sharing
Thank you for making this video, outstanding presentation and content. Very well done, we will be sharing this link globally.
Thank you! We appreciate you sharing.

Weight and heft is an extremely important factor in great sound with turntables. The top tt makers dont use foam.
That has been a long running debate. You have many turntables in the Rega camp and you can’t argue with their success, especially the critical acclaim on their latest top of the line. And you have the weight camp. Both have merits.
£900 in U.K. not cheap! But well worth considering. Thanks for the vid.
Thanks for watching!
I've had one for many years--and have always regretted that it didn't have accurate speed control and vta adjustment.
With the Neo you can fine tune the speed. Thanks for watching and sharing
Buy a p6 it is noticeably better.
Sonos Devices are dual voltage and no converter or transformer is required for any Sonos product. All devices will work with the common 110 volts and 230 volts power supply found throughout the world, including the Sonos One.
I got the p6 with exact 2 instead. While I like the p3 and have a 40 yr one too the p6 is a jump in quality.
The P6 is a jump, but this one gets pretty close, thanks for watching
@@AudioAdvice thanks for your review. The neo difference really was dramatic. The p3 runs very fast without it as in seconds a side of an album...
I tried a Neo p.s. no difference in sound quality to me when comparing to wall wart type.So I think is way over priced just to be able to switch to 45 rpm,which most serious listeners do not use.
Thanks for sharing your experience. Some people do hear the change but others do not. Appreciate you watching and commenting.

Have the aria 3 phono stage.
Any thoughts or recommendations??
Tnx a lot
It will work very well. Thanks for watching
Some say its very high price cartridge and better on p6 or p8 and not chip p3 turntable.
Can the Sonos Playbar sound support 220 electricity voltage I’m using it in Africa and how to pair it with Bluetooth without the optical cable fiber?
You should check with your local Sonos distributor.
Where is that because I’m in Africa right now.
Noob question - do I still need an amp?
Yes, you need a Moving Magnet phono stage. We recommend this one: www.audioadvice.com/rega-fono-mm-mk5-phono-preamp
Unless you have a receiver or amp with a phono input already, then you could just plug into that one. Hope that helps!
Much appreciated! @@AudioAdvice
Hi , is it worth spending the extra to go up to the p6 ?
Reach out to our team of experts at audioadvice.com and they can help determine if it's best for you. Thanks!
Do you need a RIAA for this?

bought my p3 82, £150
Nice, they run for decades. You might want to take it by your local Rega dealer and have them put on a new belt and lube things.
New type stylus. Please explain
Sorry if there was any misunderstanding, it comes with the standard Exact, we just described how all Exacts are made. Thanks for watching
No VTA adjustment? - Can only use REGA cart (height)? - Next please.
That is true but don't knock it till you've heard it. They are so popular Ortofon now makes a range of cartridges the same height as the Rega ones. Thanks for watching

ridiculous price for a very simple device
We find it to be a good price for everything you get.
@@AudioAdvice which is..? simplest turntable that should be costing 100-200$ tops. you firstworlders don't even realize just how much money 1600$ is
It’s not even real wood guy that’s not classic.
Real wood would have degraded the performance. It is a classic since the P3 has been around in various itterations for almost 50 years.
They have given it a wood effect due to years of research into designing it & stuck with the best original base material.
Only Bla-Bla-Bla....No music.
It's very difficult to test a product and hear it through a TH-cam video. We really recommend you try to hear it in person.
show some respect dude
Wasting your time...some people don't want to be respectful or engaging! Malcontent is where their comfort lies. @@paulc7190
