Rega Planar 2 Turntable and Tonearm Package Up for grabs is my very well looked after Rega Planar 2. Purchased this new in 2020. In excellent condition, all works as it should. Original boxes available. Condition: Excellent Payment Method: Cash, PayPal, EFT Region/State: (NSW) New South Wales/Australia By toiletduck 0 Comments Secure Ad AUD $550 Date: August 13, 20241 yr
Against your recent comps, A$550 sits essentially on the median of A$548, so this is a fair asking price rather than a bargain or an ambitious outlier. It’s also comfortably inside the usual spread between A$463 and A$623, which makes it a sensible buy if you want the table now and the condition really is excellent.
A Rega Planar 2 is well-liked for being simple, musical, and easy to live with: a strong starter-to-mid-level deck that gets the basics right and rewards a good cartridge and setup. In clean condition, the main appeal is that you’re buying a proven platform with good resale liquidity; just confirm the platter, lid, belt, and tonearm are all healthy, since those are the bits that matter most.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Rega Research, founded in 1973 in Essex, England, by Roy Gandy and Tony Relph, emerged from Gandy's lifelong passion for vinyl playback. A Ford engineer and music enthusiast, Gandy built his first turntable, the Planet, in his spare time, blending the founders' surnames to create the Rega name. From humble beginnings in a derelict mill, the company quickly gained traction with early models like the Planar 2 and Planar 3, establishing its heritage as a British hi-fi pioneer dedicated to precision engineering and hand-assembly.
Rega specializes in turntables and tonearms, its cornerstone products, but has expanded into a full ecosystem including cartridges, integrated amplifiers like the Elicit and Brio, phono stages such as the Fono, and speakers like the Ela series. While early efforts included loudspeakers and electronics from the 1980s onward, the brand prioritizes vinyl-centric components over headphones, DACs, or cables, all designed in-house for musical fidelity using specialist materials and tight tolerances.
Rega holds a revered position in the high-end hi-fi market as a niche boutique icon, prized by audiophiles for affordable, lifetime-quality performance that emphasizes music over gimmicks. Globally exported to over 50 countries from its Essex facility employing more than 150, it remains a symbol of British ingenuity, with turntables like the Planar series securing enduring loyalty among vinyl revivalists.
