Rega Planar 2 Turntable – Black

This is a really nice recent (gloss finish) specification example of the iconic Planar 2 Turntable from British manufacturer, Rega in black. The design has been upgraded over the years although the changes aren’t always easy to spot. It is in superb condition with a small blemish on the front edge, it comes in original packaging with brand new Rega Carbon cartridge power supply, 2 year warranty, and would be an excellent way to begin a journey into the vinyl revival currently taking place.

Every feature of this innovative new turntable is designed to extract the maximum amount of information and detail from your vinyl collection.
