The aluminium skin edition construction provides the same rigid, resonance-free foundation that has made the Planar 3 a reference standard amongst audiophiles worldwide. Every component undergoes identical quality control processes, ensuring your ECO Special delivers the precise speed stability and low-noise operation that defines Rega's reputation.

Heritage & Craftsmanship

Since 1973, Rega has earned worldwide recognition for creating some of the finest turntables available at any price point. This ECO Special continues that tradition, hand-built in Rega's Southend-on-Sea factory using the same skilled craftsmanship and attention to detail that defines every Rega product.
