Product Summary
The Rega Aphelion 2 is a reference moving coil cartridge designed for listeners who want the highest level of vinyl performance from a serious analogue system. As one of Rega’s flagship cartridge designs, it is built to extract exceptional detail, control and musical insight from the groove.
A big part of the Aphelion 2’s appeal is the sheer precision of its engineering. Rega uses a hand-wound micro cross and coil assembly built directly onto a boron rod cantilever, combined with a fine line nude diamond stylus and a zero-tolerance aluminium body. The result is a cartridge aimed at delivering outstanding transparency, speed and control, making it an especially strong match for Rega’s top turntables and other high-end analogue systems.
