Rega Planar 3 RS + RB330 + Neo PSU
Turntable
Relative price
below typical
Among the 40 turntables in the catalogue, this one is below typical.
A band places a component against its peers and carries no price. It is deliberately the only price indicator on this page: a second one, measured against a different set, would narrow the two together far enough to give the figure away.
What it is
P3 with Neo PSU upgrade — speed stability improvement.
