Looking to start a vinyl collection? Or perhaps your existing records could do with a bit more oomph and clarity.

In either case, the Rega Planar 2 could be a great buy, as recommended by our national HiFi sponsor Doug Brady.

This British-made player has been a staple in the market for over 50 years, earning a reputation as a fantastic turntable for both beginner and experienced audiophiles alike.

"Every feature of this innovative new turntable is designed to extract the maximum amount of information and detail from your vinyl collection", the experts say.

This particular model was developed over two years, and comes with some groundbreaking features such as a new 24v, low noise motor, acrylic laminated plinth, newly designed central bearing and so much more.

It's also available in a wide range of colours to suit your aesthetic.

At £499, it's a great price-point to either start or develop your love of vinyl.

A stunning walnut effect finish was introduced in November 2022. The Walnut effect Planar 2 is supplied with the smoked dustcover as standard (other finishes are supplied with the clear dustcover).

The Planar 2 is a true step up in performance, so whilst the extra £150 over the Planar 1 seems a big jump its what is required to gain the audible difference, and is something we regularly demonstrate to our customers in store.

The sound experts at Doug Brady have also put together a Rega Planar 2 System - if you want complete turntable system which includes an amplifier & speakers please click HERE.

The Rega Planar 2 also comes with the option of an Nd3 Cartridge upgrade.

This new factory fitted Nd3 cartridge option released in June 2024, and offers a great performance upgrade for an extra £100 (saving £75 on the cartridge if it were to be bought separately).
