Rega P2 Turntable
Surely one of the most recognizable badges in the world of moderately priced analog gear, Rega has established an enviable position as a leader in the field.
A significant advantage of Rega turntables are their simplicity. While you can choose to use most any cartridge with Rega arms, the company offers their own line of cartridges designed to mate perfectly. A three-hole mounting system (from the Elys and up)has been devised that allows several of the Rega cartridges to be mounted on their arms with a minimum of fuss, requiring little prior knowledge of set-up techniques.
Installations of Rega cartridges on Rega tonearms is a breeze. Many of their cartridges come with a third mounting hole (positioned at the front of the mounting plate), a corresponding hole is found on the Rega tonearms. Simply align the two, insert a screw and, bingo, you’ve just set your overhang! No muss, no fuss, a simple procedure that anyone can perform. If one uses the Rega cartridges (recommended if you want to keep set-up to a minimum) there is no VTA to adjust, just set the tracking force, lower the stylus and listen to music.
For people concerned with budget the P2 could be the turntable for you. Please do not be influenced by its very affordable price, this is a high performance turntable carrying many of the design directions used in its illustrious big brothers.
As for some interesting information, the plinth design is of a low mass particulate core sandwiched by highly rigid phenolic laminates. The P2 uses a derivative of the new ultra low vibration state of the art adhesive mounted motor assembly borrowed from the P3. The Platter is CNC machined HDF which is then metalized, giving a platter with good mass and accuracy.
Finally, the P2 carries the legendary Rega RB250 tonearm in its latest guise (The choice of many other turntable manufacturers).
