This item is for rebuilding an existing Rega Ania. As Rega cartridges are manufactured in the UK they can offer a heavily reduced cost for rebuilding/repairing a cartridge that is not performing as it should.
Please note that we need the cartridge here to send off to Rega.
The Rega Ania
The Rega Ania takes inspiration from the success of Rega’s Apheta and Aphelion MC models by utilising the same complex hand-wound micro coil found in the rest of the range and residing in a unique PPS highly rigid body. This body represents an exceptionally accurate design, including Rega’s three-point fixing to optimise connection to the tonearm headshell and automatically sets overhang when fitted to a Rega tonearm. The new body is protected by a CAD designed, clear rigid cover to safeguard the internal fine wires, making handling while fitting safe and risk-free. The Rega Ania features a super high-powered, neodymium magnet and a coil meticulously hand-wound onto an iron micro cross. This miniature assembly grants greater freedom to track the vinyl groove, ensuring even more detail is extracted from the vinyl.
Welcome to the world of moving coils
Rega’s Moving Coil cartridge design adopts a unique approach to attain an ultra-low mass generator that is undamped (no tie wire). This design incorporates a distinctive rhomboid pivot for the cantilever, powered by a purpose-designed, exclusively Rega Neodymium magnet system. Such a design necessitates a precisely engineered cartridge body with zero tolerance, an area of expertise for Rega. The bodies for Apheta 3 and Aphelion 2 products are machined from a single piece of the highest quality aluminum. This intricate and costly process leverages Rega’s years of experience, especially in achieving “zero” tolerancing of the body in the alignment and dimension of the pivot pad mounting hole and the magnet mechanism mounting hole relationship.
