Advantages: Minimalist style, Superb Sound quality

Disadvantages: Changing speed is as manual as it gets!, Doesnt play CDs., Cant play Britany Spears albums on it.

If you are reading a review of this type of turntable, then your probably a bit older than the Briteny Spears appreciation society members, and probably appreciate the sound of good well kept vinyl.

The Rega ooozes solid build quality and just the cleanest sound. My niece saw my deck and pronounced they her family had 'one of those'... comparing it to her own Sony stack record deck.

If you want something that will do justice to your investment in vinyl, and you have a good separate system to match, the Rega is a very sure bet purchase. You wont be going wrong. Though, if you are keen to play your 45s frequently... be warned that the mechanism for changing speed.. involved removing the turntable itself and moving the gear band yourself.

If your considering this turntable... your only decision should now be.. can you afford the glass platter version of the Rega 3, or what colour do you want the Rega 2 in. Personally, I think some of the colours available alllude too closely to the Britany Spears appreciation society membership. Something id prefer to steer away from when im listening to Neil Young - Harvest, or Paladin Charge, or Rennaissance - Ashes are Burning.
