Rega Apheta 3 Moving Coil Cartridge

Introducing the Rega Apheta 3, a marvel of unique design and engineering prowess. At its core lies a super high-powered neodymium magnet, paired with a meticulously hand-wound coil on an iron cross, now fifty percent smaller than its MK1 predecessor. This reduction in weight grants us greater precision in tracking the vinyl groove. Encased within a newly redesigned, single-piece aluminum anodized body, and safeguarded by a CAD-designed smoked rigid cover, the Apheta 3 ensures safe and hassle-free handling during installation.

Rega's Moving Coil cartridge design stands apart with its pursuit of an ultra-low mass generator, free from damping (no tie wire), employing a unique rhomboid pivot for the cantilever, powered by Rega's exclusive Neodymium magnet system. This design necessitates a meticulously engineered cartridge body, machined from a single piece of premium aluminum, a feat requiring Rega's extensive expertise. In contrast to conventional MC cartridges utilizing steel suspension systems (tie wire), prone to high-frequency resonance and damping issues, the Apheta 3 eschews such drawbacks. Instead, it embodies a modern approach, devoid of tie wires and foam dampers, resulting in unparalleled clarity across the frequency spectrum and tight, articulate bass—hallmarks of all Rega moving coils.
