Rega - Planar 2 - Turntable

The new and updated Rega Planar 2 receives the brand new RB220 tonarm plus a new 24v low noise motor and acrylic laminated plinth. That 's a lot of tech for a turntable at this price point. Now in store and with a choice of finishes.

Tonearm -  New designed RB220 tonearm features ultra low friction, Rega designed, bespoke, zero play ball bearings (Patent Pending), housed within a brand new, stiffer and lightweight bearing housing which was developed with a new automatic bias setting negating the need for the user to set bias, making it almost completely plug and play apart from simple arm balancing. The new housing also includes an integrated arm clip and uses Rega's latest custom aluminium arm tube.
