What HiFi

Design & Performance Features

The Planar 2 features a patent-pending 11 mm self-securing brass bearing for improved fit and reduced stress, paired with a high-gloss acrylic or walnut-effect laminated plinth that enhances rigidity and aesthetics.

Its new 24 V low-noise motor and updated PCB deliver smoother, more stable performance, while the 10 mm Optiwhite float-glass platter improves rotational accuracy. Re-designed isolation feet increase stability and minimise vibration transfer, and the included Rega Carbon cartridge provides simple plug-and-play setup. A dust cover and protective lid-plinth pads come standard, with the walnut version supplied with a smoked cover.

The Perfect Upgrade

The Rega Planar 2 is an outstanding choice for anyone looking to upgrade from an entry-level turntable, offering a noticeable leap in sound quality, build precision, and long-term reliability.

The improved bearing assembly and isolation feet further reduce noise and vibration, letting your records sound more open and dynamic. Simple to set up yet designed with true audiophile principles, the Planar 2 gives listeners a refined, more engaging vinyl experience without requiring complicated adjustments or high-end system matching. For many, it’s the perfect step into serious hi-fi.

A mature turntable that won’t break the bank, the classy Planar 2/Nd3 is an excellent package for the price. If your budget can stretch beyond the entry-level and you want to get closer to that authority and superior rhythmic excellence of the step-up Planar 3 without paying the higher price, the Planar 2/Nd3 combination is a satisfying performer that will do justice to your record collection.

The Planar 2 is certainly a classy performer, given its affordable price tag. It is without doubt going to spawn a whole new generation of followers and keep Rega’s profile high in what is fast becoming a growing turntable market

The Planar 2 is a more refined turntable than the old Planar 3 but it has the best timing in the business at this price point. Add in the drop dead looks and Rega’s enviable track record for reliability and build quality and you have a budget turntable that is nigh on impossible to beat. If you want to hear what vinyl is really all about get thee to a Rega dealer forthwith.
