For over 15 years, Rega has refined its distinctive moving coil cartridge designs, pioneering undamped micro-mass generators within precision-crafted, jointless bodies. Building on advances in rare earth magnet power and cutting-edge manufacturing, the successful Apheta 2 set a high standard. With the Apheta 3, Rega advances further by incorporating state-of-the-art “Fine Line” diamond profiles, mounted at 90 degrees—the same approach as the reference Aphelion 2 model—enabling even greater detail retrieval from vinyl grooves. The cartridge features a super high-powered neodymium magnet and a coil hand-wound on a compact iron cross half the size of the MK1, enhancing groove tracking. Its redesigned single-piece anodized aluminum body is protected by a CAD-engineered smoked rigid cover that safeguards delicate internal wiring for secure installation. The Apheta 3 complements the Planar 8 and Planar 10 turntables and is available as a factory-fitted option at a discounted rate through authorized retailers.
