Rega Apheta 3

The Apheta 3 is specifically engineered to complement the Rega Planar 8 and Planar 10 turntables. Its design and weight are optimized to integrate seamlessly with the tonearms found on these high-end models.

The Apheta 3 should be set to a tracking pressure between 1.9g and 2.00g. We recommend starting at 1.9g and adjusting slightly within this range to suit your specific setup and listening preferences.

Yes, as a moving coil cartridge with an output voltage of 350μV and an input load impedance of 100 ohms, it requires a phono stage capable of handling low-output moving coil designs. Ensure your phono preamp or integrated amplifier has an MC input setting that matches these specifications.

The Fine Line profile is designed to track the grooves of your vinyl with greater precision than standard stylus shapes. This allows the cartridge to extract more micro-detail, resulting in improved high-frequency clarity and tighter, more controlled bass response.

No, the smoked rigid cover is designed strictly for protection during handling and storage. It should be removed before you begin playing your records to ensure the tonearm and cartridge can move freely.

The Apheta 3 uses an iron cross coil that is fifty percent smaller than previous designs. By reducing the mass of the generator system, the cartridge can react more quickly to the nuances in the record groove, leading to a more accurate and transparent sound.
