Rega RB202

This REGA RB 202 tonearm is the heir to the famous RB 250 and 251 featured on the Planar 2 and P2 series. The care dedicated to the new vertical and horizontal ball bearings results in minimum friction during displacement along its axis and hence minimising playback errors. It is the first in the range to use a tube built out of a single piece of pressure cast alloy. This element, identical to the RB 303, gives it great rigidity, low resonance and great groove tracking precision. Like on the legendary RB1000, it is secured to the turntable by three points for amazing mechanical stability.

This tonearm is very efficient and, like all Rega products, highly musical. It is naturally possible to pair it with the manufacturer's cartridges like the Bias, Elys or Exact, though it is multipurpose and works very well with many moving coil and magnet cartridges. Yet another job well done on the manufacturer's record and certainly a benchmark for its price… In any case, we don't know of any serious competition in this range, except its elder brother the RB303!
