Description

Here we have a nice example of the iconic Planar 2 Turntable from British manufacturer, Rega. It has been fitted with the 24V upgrade and comes in good fully working condition. It is fitted with the standard, but excellent, Rega RB250 tonearm which has of course been retro fitted to many more exotic and expensive turntables over the years. It comes in non original Rega packaging with our usual 3 month warranty, but please note this does not cover the fitted Audio Technica cartridge.
Rega Said….
Looking at a Rega turntable you will probably notice a distinct absence of the many gimmicks and gadgets which are currently being fitted to so many record decks. Concentrating much more on high quality, Rega has been able to keep the design simple and very effective.
At every design stage Rega has considered the effect on reproduced music and engineered the wow, flutter and rumble so that the ear is least annoyed. Thus they achieve far better music reproduction than a turntable designed only to perform well into test equipment.
The overall dimensions of the Rega turntables are 466 mm x 365 mm x 125 mm with the dust cover shut
They are belt driven with two speeds, 33 rpm and 45 rpm. manual speed change and on/off switch.
The combination of a glass platter and hybrid mat is an integral part of the Planar 2’s musicality’ and isolation from mechanical and acoustic feedback.
The Planar 2 is fitted with the Rega RB 250 tonearm, recognized as being one of the best and most versatile that is currently available. The arm is an excellent combination of low mass, high rigidity, lack of resonances and very low friction levels. Nearly all cartridges can be used including those with a very high compliance. Bias is achieved magnetically.
While maintaining very exacting standards of quality and sound reproduction the Planar 2 must surely be one of the most competitively priced turntables in the Hi-Fi Market.
