The new Rega Planar 3 Nd3 (2024) Turntable was developed over 10 years and promises to deliver ‘next level’ performance from the factory fitted Nd3 moving magnet cartridge. 

The Planar 3 Nd3 embodies an evolved design philosophy, aiming for enhanced performance and sound clarity. At its core is a lightweight acrylic laminated plinth, strengthened by an improved double brace system. This system is strategically mounted between the tonearm and the main hub bearing, creating a structurally sound "stressed beam" assembly. This design ensures rigidity, preventing energy absorption and unwanted resonance, which can distort the music.

The factory fitted Nd3 moving magnet cartridge is a world first to use ultra-high powered Neodymium magnets, the aluminium cantilever is fitted with a precision elliptical stylus. This profile provides exceptional tracking accuracy and extracts great levels of detail from the vinyl surface.

Testimonials

Bought some Rega Kyte speakers, stands and chords from DB online and they were incredibly helpful. They updated my delivery address very quickly and recommended a longer cut of cables which they did complimentary. They also noticed I didn’t order with banana plugs so called me back to double check, which I did mean to order. When i had some issues connecting my cables and speakers, I called for some advice which they happily gave. Excellent service and next day delivery to London. Thoroughly recommend.

Probably one of the best companies in the world. They had to special order in the speakers which took a fair bit of time, which is totally understandable, but they kept in touch with me throughout the entire time with updates (even on a Sunday!!!) and once the speakers were with them, they were dispatched and arrived next day.

The entire sound system that I purchased is insanely good, but still not as good as Doug Brady HiFi!

Guy H.

I have recently purchased a HiFi package with Doug Brady and I could not be more thrilled with my experience with them.
When I walked into the store, I was made to feel welcome and was introduced to some of the products. I produces a list of specific items I was interested in and John was really helpful in showing me these items. He set the system up so I could experience it, he made some suggestions which made the package even better. Nothing seemed too much trouble for him, he was very knowledgeable about the products and gave great advice. I didn't feel pressured to buy anything, or didn't feel that he was upselling at any point. I left with an amazing package and I'd like to thank John and the team for the fantastic experience.
