Description

Reed 2G

Reed 2G is tonearm model, which merges the best features of Reed 2A and Reed 3Q tonearms and adds a few new ones.

Reed 2G is very easily adjusted and can be mounted to virtually any turntable with or without an adapter.

As other our tonearms, Reed 2G features 0.2 mm precision VTA adjustment and tonearm’s height can be adjusted from 28 mm to 48 mm.

Tonearm has cardanic bearing system: vertical axis has thrust rotation bearings and horizontal axis is based on thrust pivot bearings (a bit close to Reed 3P). Such bearing construction eliminates bearing wobbling, which has a great impact to the quality of the sound.

All Reed 2G tonearms have unique azimuth adjustment system, which allows implementing a tonearm with replaceable armwand. Replaceable armwand feature allows you to change tonearm effective length and effective mass with no hassle. For connecting the armwand and tonearm body, high quality LEMO connector is used.

As well as all our tonearms, Reed 2G has replaceable headshells.

Reed 2G can be wired with Finewire C37 cable or have a 5-pin DIN connector for a custom cabling solution.

Tonearm’s antiskating is magnetic and is similar to one used in Reed 3P tonearm.

Reed 2G with the laser option

Laser-enabled Reed 2G version continues tradition of Reed 3Q and helps audio enthusiasts to set up their systems using latest technology. Calibrated laser add-on, used in this tonearm version, allows user to adjust VTA and azimuth quickly and precisely.

Why Choose Reed

Reed is a Lithuanian high-end analogue manufacturer renowned for producing some of the most beautifully engineered tonearms and turntables in contemporary audio. Designed and manufactured in Lithuania, Reed products combine precision mechanical engineering, artisanal craftsmanship, and highly sophisticated analogue design philosophies into products that are admired worldwide by serious vinyl enthusiasts and reference-level analogue systems.

What makes Reed particularly distinctive is the company’s obsessive focus on tonearm geometry, resonance control, and mechanical precision. While many analogue brands treat the tonearm as a supporting component to the turntable itself, Reed approaches tonearm engineering as one of the most critical elements within vinyl playback, recognising that the arm’s behaviour fundamentally shapes tracking accuracy, tonal balance, and spatial realism.

At HeyNow Hi-Fi, Reed products stand apart for their extraordinary craftsmanship and ability to reproduce vinyl with remarkable calmness, dimensionality, and natural musical flow. There is a sense of refinement and mechanical precision to the presentation that allows records to sound highly stable, immersive, and emotionally engaging.

Signature Design and Sound

Manufactured in Lithuania, Reed products are engineered around highly refined bearing systems, precision-machined structures, advanced resonance management, and carefully developed geometry designed to minimise unwanted energy throughout the playback system.

One of the defining characteristics of Reed tonearms is the company’s use of both traditional pivoted designs and highly sophisticated tangential tracking architectures. Reed has become especially respected for its ability to combine the musicality and flow of pivoted tonearms with the tracking accuracy and low distortion benefits often associated with linear-tracking systems.

The Reed 1X and 2G tonearms in particular have developed strong reputations for their beautifully controlled bearing behaviour, remarkable tracking stability, and highly natural tonal presentation. Reed also offers unique wooden armwand construction options, incorporating carefully selected woods to help manage resonance behaviour and contribute to the organic and refined sonic character the brand has become known for.

Reed turntables themselves continue this philosophy through substantial non-resonant platter systems, highly isolated motor control architectures, and extremely precise speed stability. The company’s engineering places enormous emphasis on preserving rotational stability and reducing mechanical interference throughout playback.

Sonically, Reed products are known for their composure, dimensionality, and highly natural presentation. Instruments and vocals emerge with exceptional image stability and tonal purity, while the soundstage feels spacious, layered, and remarkably free from mechanical hardness or strain. Bass performance remains articulate and controlled, while low-level detail retrieval and transient realism contribute to a highly immersive analogue experience.

Reed Product Range

The Reed range available through HeyNow Hi-Fi includes precision tonearms, reference-level turntables, tangential tracking systems, and analogue accessories designed for serious vinyl playback systems and long-term analogue ownership.

Products throughout the range showcase the company’s extraordinary attention to machining quality, resonance optimisation, and mechanical refinement while allowing customers to configure systems around different arm geometries, armwand materials, and analogue philosophies.

At HeyNow Hi-Fi, Geoff and his experienced analogue setup team provide assistance with tonearm matching, cartridge integration, turntable configuration, and complete analogue optimisation to ensure Reed products perform at their full capability within each customer’s listening environment.
