Rega ANIA MC Moving Coil Phono Cartridge

Rega ANIA MC Moving Coil Phono Cartridge

The Ania was inspired by the success of Rega's Apheta and Aphelion MC models. Ania uses the same complex hand wound micro coil found in the rest of the range.

The Ania features a super high-powered, neodymium magnet and a coil meticulously hand wound on to an iron micro cross. This miniature assembly allows us greater freedom to track the vinyl groove ensuring even more detail is extracted from the vinyl.

The complete assembly is housed in a zero tolerance Injection moulded glass filled polyphenylene sulphide body (PPS) which is a lightweight and highly rigid material. A low mass body reduces stress on the tonearm bearings and aids free movement which is critical in accurate vinyl replay.

Key Features:

• Iron micro cross assembly
• One of the worlds smallest MC generators
• Cutting edge high power Neodymium magnets
• Elliptical profile stylus
• Aluminium cantilver
• Coil constructed from 0.018 mm fine wire
• Lifetime warranty against manufacture defects

Highly Rigid Body

Housed in a unique PPS highly rigid body, this is an exceptionally accurate design that includes 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 protect the internal fine wires, making handling whilst fitting, safe and risk free.

Glass Filled PPS Body

When Rega decided to produce a Moving Coil cartridge at half the cost of the Apheta 3, the special aluminium body could not be used, it was simply too expensive. The solution lay in an unusual polymer/glass combination called Polyphenylene Sulphide (PPS-Fortron). With 40% glass, this material could be moulded and would solve the cost problem. The special attributes of this material are its hardness and stability in shape and dimension post moulding, both critical for the performance of Ania.
