Replacing the multi award winning and five times What Hi-Fi? Product of the Year (RP3) was never going to be an easy task. It took the Rega team of designers, headed up by Rega’s Roy Gandy, two years to develop the all new ‘Planar 3’ following the biggest re-design of the iconic ‘three’ model ever seen.

Earlier this week, we had some very exciting news. As part of Rega’s partnership with Record Store Day 2015, a number of special Rega RP1s were signed by artists ranging from Liam Gallagher to Mark Knopfler, Royal Blood and Simple Minds and hidden inside the production run.

Last week Allan Page purchased one of these special Rega RSD RP1s, only to find it had been signed by Tim Burgess of The Charlatans!
