Revolver Rebel Vs Rega Planar 3

One advantage the Revolver had over its Rega rival was that it was a true separate motor-unit design.
The Planar 3 was built for, and supplied with, Rega tonearms, and that was your lot. The Revolver, on the other hand, could be had with a wide variety of tonearms, the customer deciding which one and the dealer fitting it.

The Revolver sounds warm, sweet and gentle by today's standards, soft bass and smooth treble. Dynamically, it's able to communicate the basics of the music very well indeed, and makes for an engaging and enjoyable listen. In some ways it has quite a 'nostalgic' sound, especially when you compare it to modern affordable turntables, such as the latest Rega 3.

That's not to damn this deck with faint praise. Anyone who came to the Revolver from a Dual CS505, for example, would find it to be a great leap forward. It's that bit punchier-sounding and boasts a considerably wider stereo image, regardless of which tonearm you choose to furnish it with. There's far less sense of speed instability too.

Many will be able to imagine the sound of the Revolver, it being a basic belt-drive turntable from a long-gone era. Cue up the sort of track that this deck would have been playing in its heyday – Simply Red's 'Money's Too Tight To Mention' and you're met with a presentation that's really rather euphonic by today's standards.
Things sound soft and silky whatever you care to play.
There's a good deal of refinement to be enjoyed, with none of the harshness that a cheaper turntable often brings.

Compared to a forward-sounding '80s CD player, you can imagine how stark the contrast was…
In fact, the Revolver can sound more compelling than many a mid-priced CD player of the period. Not only is it able to conjure up a pleasingly wide soundstage with impressive depth, its ability to ensure that the music simply flows along is notable. And never does it deconstruct recordings into their component parts in a manner that is overly analytical. Rather, you can be sure that your LPs will satisfy time and again. Yes, this '80s-era turntable sounds very much a period piece, but does so in a winning way.
