Product Summary
The Rega Apheta 3 is a premium moving coil cartridge designed for listeners who want a highly revealing, precise and musically expressive vinyl performance from a serious analogue system. It sits below the Aphelion 2 in Rega’s moving coil range, but still brings very high-end engineering and a strong sense of refinement.
A big part of the Apheta 3’s appeal is the way it combines low-mass moving coil design with Rega’s very focused approach to rigidity and control. Rega uses a fine line nude diamond stylus, a hand-wound iron micro cross assembly and a super high-powered custom neodymium magnet, all housed in a redesigned one-piece aluminium body. The result is a cartridge aimed at extracting more detail, improving groove tracking and delivering a clean, open and highly controlled sound.
