About the Exact
The Rega Exact is the top-tier handmade moving magnet cartridge from Rega, designed to extract maximum musical detail from vinyl records. It features hand-wound high-spec parallel coils assembled with extreme precision to achieve a fine channel balance of ±0.1 mV, ensuring excellent stereo imaging and dynamic performance. The stylus uses a Vital profile, a complex fine line micro-ground from a rectangular diamond billet, which tracks grooves with high accuracy. The cartridge body is rigid and one-piece to minimize resonances, and it employs Rega's unique three-point mounting system that improves mounting rigidity and automatically sets overhang. The Exact is factory-fitted on some Rega turntables and is compatible with others, offering a taut bass and incisive treble. It is finished in yellow and has a recommended tracking force of 1.75 grams. The cartridge is hand assembled and tested over multiple days to meet strict quality standards, and it comes with a lifetime warranty against manufacturing defects.
