About the Aphelion 2
The Rega Aphelion 2 is the fourth generation of Rega's unique moving coil cartridges, fine-tuned from the original Aphelion and Apheta 3. It employs a boron rod cantilever with a fine line type nude diamond stylus rotated 90 degrees for enhanced stiffness, a super high-powered miniaturized neodymium magnet, and a hand-wound coil on an iron micro cross, creating one of the world's smallest MC generators. Housed in a graded zero-tolerance black anodized aluminum body with a CAD-designed clear rigid cover for safe handling, it excels in tracking vinyl grooves to extract exceptional detail and dynamics. Ideal partner for Rega Planar 10 and Naiad turntables. No tie wire or foam damper for super clear high frequencies and tight bass.
