{"product_id":"rega-apheta-ii-reference-cartridge","title":"Rega Aphelion 2 MC Phono Cartridge","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Rega Aphelion 2 MC Phono Cartridge is a low output moving coil transducer engineered for reference vinyl playback systems. Operating with an undamped micro-generator, this reference design extracts delicate groove information without the mechanical damping or tie wires commonly found in conventional phono cartridges. Built for dedicated vinyl enthusiasts, it pairs an ultra-stiff boron cantilever with high-flux neodymium magnets to maintain precise mechanical-to-electrical signal transfer across the entire frequency range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Hi-Fi Centre Team Take\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLiving with the Aphelion 2 day to day reveals exceptional timing precision and acoustic separation, rendering complex orchestral arrangements and dense pressings with effortless composure. The design produces an ink-black background that allows subtle ambient textures and low-level micro-dynamics to emerge without grain or coloration. Bass control remains taut and rhythmically precise, whilst upper register extension stays open and natural during lengthy listening sessions. It provides an uncoloured, forensic presentation that deepens your connection to familiar vinyl pressings over years of ownership.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFine-Line Diamond:\u003c\/strong\u003e Nude diamond profile traces minute groove modulations with exacting geometric accuracy.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBoron Rod Cantilever:\u003c\/strong\u003e High-rigidity construction eliminates deflection to transfer mechanical vibration directly to the coils.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMachined Aluminium Body:\u003c\/strong\u003e Single-piece anodised housing eliminates internal resonance and secures structural rigidity.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAuthorized Dealer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hi-Fi Centre is an authorized Rega dealer offering authentic manufacturer warranty protection and comprehensive technical support.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCartridge Type: Low output moving coil (MC)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStylus Profile: Nude fine-line diamond\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCantilever Material: Boron rod\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenerator: Hand-wound micro-coils with neodymium magnet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBody Construction: Single-piece black anodised aluminium\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTracking Force: 1.9 g – 2.0 g (1.9 g recommended)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNominal Output Voltage: 350 µV (0.35 mV)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInput Load Impedance: 100 Ω\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOutput Impedance: 10 Ω\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChannel Balance: ≥ 10 µV\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChannel Separation: ≥ -29 dB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCartridge Mass: 6.0 g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Rega","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44124321447989,"sku":"Aphelion 2","price":7499.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2246\/9355\/files\/RegaAphelion2.jpg?v=1731440754","url":"https:\/\/hificentre.com\/products\/rega-apheta-ii-reference-cartridge","provider":"Hi-Fi Centre","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
