What Hi-Fi? 5 stars

A global reference, What Hifi? is one of the most comprehensive magazines covering Home Cinema and Hifi. The "5 stars" award distinguishes the highest quality products, according to this British magazine.

Overview

The Planar 2 was developed over two years alongside the latest Planar 3. Featuring the RB220 tonearm, a new low-noise 24V motor, a high-gloss laminated acrylic plinth, a newly designed central bearing, and much more. Every feature of this innovative new turntable is designed to extract maximum information and detail from your vinyl collection.

The RB220 tonearm boasts revolutionary new features designed to enhance performance and make setup extremely simple. The RB220 incorporates ultra-low friction bearings designed by Rega (patent pending), housed in an all-new, more rigid and lightweight bearing housing. This has been developed with an updated adjustable bias (from 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 aluminum arm tube.

Bon appareil. Fonctionne comme prévu.

Beautiful turntable, very high quality with one modification on my end. I replaced the original REGA cartridge with an Ortofon M2Red, and the sound is perfect.

Très belle platine, très qualitative avec une modification pour ma part. La cellule d'origine REGA remplacée par une M2red de chez Ortofon et le son est parfait.

Very basic product but I don't regret my purchase. I replaced the Rega carbon cartridge with an Ortophon M2red and the turntable really shines - the sound is perfect on my Cabasse Bisquine speakers. The sound reproduction is flawless with my Marantz amplifier.

Produit très basique mais je ne regrette pas mon achat. J'ai remplacé la cellule Rega carbon par une M2red de chez Ortophon et la platine donne sa pleine mesure le son est parfait sur mes Cabasse Bisquine. La restitution des sons est parfaite avec mon ampli Marantz.
