I'm still searching for my first turntable but am having a lot of success finding used P2/P3s, which is encouraging.I'm trying to work out the changes to the P2s over the years, if anyone can help me as I've spotted at least three differences from old to new.First thing I notice is some models have a green logo, whilst others are a white/gray colour. I'm not going to assume all they did is change the logo colour and am wondering if there are any other non visible differences between the two - for good or bad. Another difference is the newer fat looking platter on the new models which have the newer RB251. Rega argue that this new platter offers better stability and speed, but who really knows.The specific turntable I am currently looking at has a green logo, RB250 tonearm and a glass platter. Hopefully it's no worse than earlier/later P2s, but if anyone knows anything I'd love to read it.Cheers. I too can't compare different Planer 2 models but i've owned mine since 1999 with the green logo and glass platter and i've been really pleased with it over the years. As my musical tastes have broadened and i now listen to other genres of music rather than just rock or pop i've noticed the defect of the speed instability from the rather basic motor and housing.

Best Tonearm For Rega Planar 3

Sustained piano and acoustic guitar notes show it up but apart from that it's been great and it's only now after 11 years that i'm about to replace it. The original Planar 2 had the Rega RB200 arm fitted, a float glass platter that was slightly thinner than the glass on the Planar 3, the Planar 2 also had a wooden surround trim around the edge of the plinth, which IMO was fairly ugly.KenRegarding the thickness of the platter, my Planar 2 from the end of the 90s has the plinth of the second generation and the RB250 arm and the motor supported by the rubber band. At the time i bought it the Planar 3 had the thicker glass platter which leads me to think that until they went with the mdf platter the glass on the 2 was always thinner than on the 3. The motor upgrade came out when mine was a couple of years old so i reckon Ophool's above must have been one of the early ones with the upgraded motor.Didn't at one time the Planar 2 come with a Grace arm back in the early days?

Rega Rb250 Tonearm

I'm sure i've seen a few for sale with such but perhaps that was a personal thing rather than a factory option. Maybe once upon a time they came without an arm?
