{"product_id":"reg-pl3anni-002718","title":"Rega Planar 3 — 50th Anniversary Edition, Walnut","description":"\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eThe Planar 3 has been the benchmark belt-drive at its price point for decades, and the 50th Anniversary edition marks fifty years of Rega building turntables in Southend-on-Sea, England — by hand, in-house, without outsourcing the parts that matter. The walnut veneer plinth is what separates this from the standard P3: a warm, natural finish that makes the table look like a piece of furniture worth leaving out rather than hiding in a rack.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eUnder the plinth, it's the same Rega engineering that made the P3 a reference: the RB330 tonearm, Rega's own precision-machined unipivot design built to tolerances that cost-reduced alternatives cannot match at any price near this one. The 24V low-noise motor drives a double-braced glass platter through a precision belt. The whole chassis is designed around minimizing mass where it adds nothing and maximizing rigidity where it does — a philosophy Rega has refined across five decades without abandoning the core idea.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eThis is the anniversary release for a buyer who knows what the Planar 3 is and wants the version made to mark the milestone. The walnut does not come back in standard production.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rega","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47238109528201,"sku":"PL3ANNI-002718","price":900.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0680\/4557\/0185\/files\/P3Anniversary.png?v=1783703797","url":"https:\/\/echohifi.com\/products\/reg-pl3anni-002718","provider":"Echo Audio","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
