Rega Planar 2 Turntable / Nagaoka MP110 Cartridge – Gloss Black

Here we have a current specification example of the iconic Planar 2 Turntable from British manufacturer, Rega. The award winning design has been upgraded over the years although the changes aren’t always easy to spot. It is in very good condition and will be supplied professionally packaged along with a mains power supply and Ortofon tracking force gauge. A three month warranty is also included but this does not cover the fitted Nagaoka MP110 cartridge as we have no knowledge of the exact amount of use and wear.
Rega Say….
The Planar 2 was developed over two years alongside the latest Planar 3. Featuring the RB220 tonearm, a new 24 V, low noise motor, acrylic high gloss laminated plinth, newly designed central bearing and so much more. Every feature of this innovative new turntable is designed to extract the maximum amount of information and detail from your vinyl collection.
The RB220 tonearm is packed with ground-breaking new features designed to enhance performance and make setup extremely simple. The RB220 incorporates Rega designed ultra-low friction bearings (Patent Pending), housed within a brand new, stiffer, and lightweight bearing housing. This was developed with new updated adjustable bias (as of Autumn 2020) allowing greater flexibility and compatibility with a wide range of cartridges The new housing also includes an integrated arm clip and uses Rega’s latest custom aluminium arm tube.
