This premium combination brings together over four decades of British engineering expertise to deliver an elegant, high-performance analogue audio experience that exceeds expectations at its price point.

Perfect for audiophiles and casual listeners alike, the Planar 2 + ND3 bundle is meticulously crafted to bring vinyl’s warm, rich sound to life, capturing every detail, nuance, and emotion of your favourite records.

Rega Planar 2 Turntable

First launched in the late 1970s and refined across generations, the Planar 2 triumphs Rega’s minimalist design philosophy and relentless pursuit of audio excellence. Every component has been purposefully engineered to reduce noise, eliminate resonance, and maximise clarity.

At the heart of the turntable lies the RB220 tonearm, an innovative design featuring ultra-low friction bearings and a bespoke aluminium arm tube. This results in improved tracking ability and low colouration, allowing the music to shine through with greater transparency and emotional impact.

The 10mm ‘Optiwhite’ float glass platter looks stunning and provides remarkable speed stability, helping preserve the pitch and timing of your records. Its low-noise 24V motor is mounted with an advanced anti-vibration PCB, ensuring a silent, stable performance with every spin.

Wrapped in a sleek, high-gloss acrylic laminated plinth—available in a variety of modern finishes—the Planar 2 combines performance with timeless elegance. Its new re-designed feet improve isolation and enhance structural rigidity, ensuring optimal performance on any surface.

Rega ND3 Moving Magnet Cartridge

A major step forward in MM cartridge design, the ND3 cartridge features Rega’s latest technological advancements and offers a clear, dynamic, and musical soundstage. The cartridge uses a state-of-the-art neodymium N55 magnet—the strongest commercially available magnet—to provide greater output, improved separation, and better control across all frequencies.

Its elliptical stylus ensures accurate groove tracing and excellent detail retrieval, while the lightweight, glass-reinforced PPS body is specially designed to reduce resonance and maintain superior tracking performance. Hand-assembled in the UK, the ND3 is fitted with Rega’s signature 3-point mounting system for precise alignment and minimal energy transfer, enhancing the cartridge’s synergy with the RB220 tonearm.

Whether you’re rediscovering old classics or exploring new pressings, the ND3 reveals more depth and resolution in your vinyl collection than ever before.
