The Aphelion 2 represents the fourth generation of our meticulously handcrafted moving coil cartridges. Building on the innovations from the original Aphelion and Apheta 3, our engineers have refined every detail of these pioneering designs. Featuring a hand-wound micro cross and coil assembly mounted directly on a Boron rod cantilever, the cartridge uses a precisely aligned ‘fine line’ nude diamond stylus at a 90-degree angle, delivering exceptional stiffness and control. This ‘zero tolerance’ engineered design ensures peak performance and is specifically tailored to complement Rega's reference series turntables, including the Naiad.
