Rega Planar 2 vs Pro-Ject Debut Carbon Evo Verdict: "Sound quality is always our main concern, so it’s still the Rega for us, but that’s a split, rather than an unanimous, decision. The answer to which is better for you will come from hearing both for yourself, but don’t let that frustrate you – you’ll be in the company of two of the best record players ever made at this price."

Planar 2 in limited special colour - Limited edition of 400 pieces

The new TAD special edition Rega Planar 2 Limited was developed based on the current Planar 3 and is presented in the timeless, matt lacquered special colour "Anthracite".

Equipped with the RB220 tonearm, a 24V low noise motor, matte-coated chassis with increased surface quality, newly developed Rega platter bearing and much more. Every feature of this innovative turntable has been designed to bring the maximum listening experience and the highest level of detail out of your record collection

Let's sum up

The Planar 2 Limited Edition is decoupled via specially developed highly effective acoustic feet. Patent-pending, self-locking platter bearing with optimized fit accuracy and lower bearing stress.
New Rega RB220 precision tonearm with new specially developed backlash-free ball bearings with minimal friction. New anti-skating adjustment, reinforced housing for the vertical bearing. Newly developed 24V motor and control module for maximum smoothness and low vibration. "Optiwhite" float glass plate with 10 mm thickness and improved precision. The Planar 2 Limited Edition comes with the Rega Nd3 MM cartridge pre-assembled, making it a plug-and-play top-of-the-range offering in its class.

The latest development in the tonearm sector uses our brand new tonearm tube, is carefully hand-assembled, has bearings with extremely low friction values and a sound performance that far exceeds expectations of a tonearm in this price range. In terms of touch quality, setting options, but also the visual impression, it is clearly ahead of its predecessor, the RB202.

The RB220 also has a headshell with the third hole for practical and safe three-point attachment (suitable for all Rega cartridges with three-point mounting). It doesn't get any better or more practical than this.

This limited version of the P2, specially manufactured for Germany and Austria, comes pre-assembled with the new, multi-award-winning Nd3 cartridge system.
The all-new Rega Nd3 MM cartridge has been developed over many years and promises significantly improved sound quality over the previous Elys-2 model. Rega sees the patent-pending Nd series as a world first, using extremely powerful neodymium magnets that enable Rega to develop a completely unique TA design.
