The hand-built Aphelion moving coil cartridge is the ultimate in micro engineering and design. Taking two years to develop, this groundbreaking new cartridge is guaranteed to retrieve more music from your vinyl than ever before. To improve stiffness, Rega has introduced a boron rod cantilever to increase tracking accuracy and performance. The stylus is a diamond ‘Vital’ profile rotated through 90 degrees to improve rigidity of the diamond mount.

Rega’s moving coil cartridge design is unique in its approach to achieving an ultra-low mass generator which is undamped (no tie wire) using a unique rhomboid pivot for the cantilever powered by a purpose designed, exclusive to Rega, Neodymium magnet system. This type of design requires a zero-tolerance engineered cartridge body which is Rega’s area of expertise and with the Aphelion these bodies are machined from one piece of the highest quality aluminum. This is a difficult and expensive process, requiring all of Rega’s forty-four years of experience to achieve. In particular, the “zero” tolerancing of the body is required in the alignment and dimension of the pivot pad mounting hole and the magnet mechanism mounting hole relationship.
