FAQ: Everything you need to know before buying the Rega Planar 2 ND3 Walnut turntable

What characterises this version of the Rega Planar 2?

This Planar 2 is paired with the Rega ND3 MM cartridge already fitted, with a 9-inch arm and a 10 mm silica platter supplied with a dust cover; it is also available in white and black finishes in addition to this Walnut. Find it in our turntables, phono preamps and cartridges section.

Is the ND3 cartridge a good choice compared with an entry-level cartridge?

Rega's "Nd" neodymium magnet technology, used on the ND3, brings greater magnetic power than standard designs and an improved high-frequency response thanks to miniaturised low-inductance coils, a clear step up from the maker's older entry-level cartridges. 

Where can I find the detailed characteristics of the turntable and cartridge?

The dedicated product pages of the Rega Planar 2 and the Rega ND3 MM cartridge detail all the technical characteristics of this set. See our guide on cartridges.

Is this Planar 2 upgradeable to a higher-performing cartridge?

Yes, like the other Planars in the range, the standard headshell lets you replace the ND3 with a higher-performing cartridge from the Rega range or another maker if you want to upgrade the turntable later.
