Right.
If I get one it needs to be walnut to match.
Am I about to enter a rabbit hole?
I blame you.
As will my wife.
Those Leaks are quite nice too ey?

Ha. As with any older turntable, be prepared to wait for a good one, that's all. As I mentioned, the R200 arm on those Regas can (sometimes) be an issue. I wouldn't get a Linn Axis as the power supply has a known design flaw, which often results in flaky stop/start and random 33/45 (mine) or an expensive doorstop.
As I said already, a new Rega RP1 would be an excellent choice, especially for an analogue chimp.

I've a black Planar 2 set up with an old Arcam amp and brand new Monitor Audio Bronze 2s if you want to have a play around with one. It's not for sale, but you could bring over some vinyl and test it out if you want. We're in Beckenham, so depending on where you are, it could be a bit of a drag to get here, but you're welcome to pop round if it suits you. PM if interested.

Those early Planar 2s seem to have gone up in price since I last looked. Plenty around, but I'd only buy one I could collect and see/hear, and never found one that nice.
