Rega Aphelion 2 MC

The Aphelion 2 is the pinnacle of micro-engineering and design. The unique assembly of micro-cross and manual winding coils is built directly on a boron rod cantilever. The advanced “fine line” profile nude diamond is then mounted at 90 degrees, providing extreme levels of rigidity and control over the stylus. This design requires a “zero tolerance” engineering approach to achieve the highest level of performance from a Rega cartridge to date. Designed to complement Rega’s reference range of turntables.
