So, does no one have this turntable/ cartridge combination? I’m really wanting to pull the trigger on this, but I would like to hear some feedback from someone who owns one. Can’t find out what the output of the cart is to see if my phono stage will work with it.

The output is .035 mv! https://www.needledoctor.com/Rega-Apheta-2-Phono-Cartridge |
Here ya go! The Apheta 2 is the perfect partner for the RP8 and RP10 turntables which can be supplied factory fitted at a discounted package rate if requested. Please ask your retailer for details.A Unique DesignConventional MC cartridges utilize a steel suspension system (tie wire) which creates a high amplitude H.F. resonance (normally around 8-12kHz). Such resonance is unacceptable and is usually damped by a rudimentary piece of foam rubber. However, the foam rubber deteriorates with age and cannot prevent the complete structure from vibrating and "ringing". The specifics and adjustment of the tie wire and damping determine whether the cartridge is under damped (bright) or over damped (warm and bass heavy), a happy medium is rarely achieved. This encouraged Rega to pursue a new direction inspired by modern materials and the basic laws of magnetism. The Apheta 2 contains neither a tie wire nor a foam damper. Moving coil aficionados will all recognize the long search for super clear, high frequency combined with firm, tight bass. Features: Technical Data: |
