For over 15 years Rega has been perfecting unique designs for its MC cartridges. We have pioneered undamped micro mass generators coupled to high integrity seamless cartridges. In recent times we have reached new levels of power, thanks to magnets made with rare earths. This 15-year evolution, using the latest technological manufacturing processes and established rules, has led to the enormous success of Apheta 2. With Apheta 3 we have gone further: for several years we have been developing cutting-edge diamond profiles, a 90-degree angled “Fine Line” design (the same technique used in our reference model Aphelion 2); this allows Apheta 3 to extract even more detail from the recording of the disc – which of course translates into more faithful music.
Description Reg APHETA 3
A UNIQUE DESIGN
Apheta 3 is equipped with a very high power neodymium magnet and a coil meticulously hand wound on an iron cross, 50% smaller than the MK1 model; this weight reduction allows for greater ability to track the vinyl engraving. The Apheta 3 is housed within a completely redesigned, one-piece anodized aluminum body and protected by a CAD-designed hard smoked cover to protect the fine wires within, making handling during assembly safe and hassle-free. risks. Apheta 3 is the perfect partner for the recent Planar 8 and Planar 10 turntables.
MAIN FEATURES
• Slim profile nude diamond stylus
• Iron micro cross assembly
• High power neodymium magnet
• High quality cable
• Body of the head composed of a single piece of aluminum, CNC machined
• Lifetime warranty against manufacturing defects
The Rega MC cartridge design is unique in its approach to achieving an ultra-low mass generator that is undamped (no lead wire), using a unique rhomboidal pivot for the cantilever powered by a specially designed neodymium magnet system, exclusive to Rega. This type of design requires an engineered zero tolerance cartridge body – which is Rega's area of expertise, and with the Apheta 3 these cartridges are machined from a single piece of the highest quality aluminium. This is a difficult and costly process, requiring all forty-four years of Rega experience. In particular, “zero” body tolerance is required in alignment and dimension of the pivot bearing mounting hole and magnet mechanism mounting hole relationship.
Conventional MC cartridges use a steel suspension system (connecting wire) which creates a high amplitude HF resonance (usually around 8-12kHz). Such resonance is unacceptable and is usually dampened with a crude piece of foam rubber. However, foam deteriorates over time and cannot keep the entire structure from vibrating and “ringing”. The specifications and adjustment of the binding post and damping determine whether the cartridge is under-damped (bright) or over-damped (warm and bass-heavy). Rarely is there a happy middle ground. This encouraged Rega to pursue a new direction, inspired by modern materials and the fundamental laws of magnetism. Apheta 3 contains neither a fastening wire nor a foam shock absorber. they know well the long search for clear frequencies, highs combined with stable and crisp bass – characteristics that all Rega moving coils possess.
