Rega Planar 2 TAD Limited Edition special edition turntable

The new limited turntable Rega Planar 2 Limited Edition special model - for real collectors

The Rega Planar 2 Limited Edition is more than just a record player - it combines outstanding design with technical precision, creating the perfect basis for a first-class listening experience. This limited special edition is available exclusively for the German and Austrian markets and impresses with its elegant, matt coated surface in the special color anthracite. The minimalist design is particularly striking, which is further enhanced by the "smoked" dust cover and the hidden on/off switch.

Design and material quality

The Rega Planar 2 Limited Edition was developed based on the Planar 3 and equipped with improved technologies. A special highlight of this edition is the revised chassis, which not only impresses with its exceptional surface, but also ensures even greater stability and low vibration. The turntable stands on specially developed acoustic feet that ensure optimal decoupling. This reduces the transmission of vibrations to a minimum, which significantly improves the sound quality.

Precision tonearm RB220

Another milestone of this special edition is the high-precision RB220 tonearm, which scores with a number of innovations. The hand-assembled tonearm tube with extremely play-free ball bearings ensures extremely low friction and thus guarantees precise tracking of the records. Thanks to the new anti-skating setting, the RB220 tonearm is also suitable for the use of the highest quality pickups, making the Planar 2 a flexible device for demanding audiophiles.

The ergonomically shaped headshell and integrated arm clip not only increase comfort during operation, but also contribute to the long-term durability of the device. For even more precise sound reproduction, the tonearm is delivered in combination with the new Rega Nd3 MM cartridge, which has been developed over many years and offers significant sonic improvements compared to the previous model.

Optimized drive and turntable

The newly developed 24V synchronous motor ensures exceptionally smooth running and a constant speed. In combination with the new control board and the aluminum drive pulley, not only is the smooth running optimized, but vibrations are also significantly reduced. The result is even more precise sound reproduction, even with demanding recordings.

The turntable is made of 10 mm thick "Optiwhite" float glass, which enables more consistent rotation thanks to its improved precision. The high-quality turntable is complemented by the further developed, patented brass main bearing, which not only ensures an optimized fit, but also minimizes bearing stress.

High quality cartridge Rega Nd3

The pre-assembled Rega Nd3 MM cartridge takes the sound quality of the Rega Planar 2 Limited Edition to a new level. With its elliptical stylus, aluminum needle carrier and unique generator, Rega is setting new standards in record reproduction. The use of extremely powerful neodymium magnets enables detailed and precise sound reproduction, allowing you to experience even the finest nuances of your record collection. The highly stable but lightweight PPS housing of the cartridge ensures durability and robustness.

Summary: Rega Planar 2 Limited Edition in Anthracite

The Rega Planar 2 Limited Edition combines innovative technologies and precise manufacturing techniques to create an exceptional record player that meets the highest audiophile demands. The limited edition of 400 units makes this model a sought-after collector's item. Whether you're a discerning music lover or an experienced vinyl listener, the Planar 2 offers a combination of design, functionality and sonic sophistication that goes far beyond the usual.
