Rega Ania MCCartridge

Rega Ania - MC Cartridge

Experience exceptional vinyl playback with the Rega Ania Moving Coil (MC) Cartridge, designed to deliver balanced, dynamic sound and precise tracking for audiophiles and vinyl enthusiasts.

The Ania cartridge draws inspiration from Rega's acclaimed Apheta 2 and Aphelion MC cartridges, featuring a complex hand-wound micro coil housed in a unique Polyphenylene Sulphide (PPS) rigid body. This innovative design ensures accurate construction and uses Rega's three-point fixing method for optimum headshell connection and automatic overhang setting. A CAD-designed clear rigid cover protects the delicate internal wires, making installation safe and risk-free.

Equipped with a super high-powered neodymium magnet and a coil meticulously hand-wound onto an iron cross, the Ania offers superior groove tracking and extracts remarkable detail from vinyl records. It is the perfect partner for Rega Planar 3, Planar 6, or RP8 turntables, with factory-fitted options available on select models—please consult your retailer for details.
