The Ania Pro moving coil cartridge utilises the company's advanced Vital profile nude diamond stylus. Rega states that it's designed to extract as much detail from the vinyl surface as possible. The Ania Pro delivers tight bass, warm midranges, and accurate top-end frequencies to offer a balanced and detailed performance, according to the brand.
The PPS (Polyphenylene Sulphide) rigid red cover protects the fine internal wiring and is home to a high-powered, neodymium magnet and a hand-wound coil as per the rest of the MC range. The ultra-low mass generator is undamped (no tie wire) and uses a unique rhomboid pivot for the cantilever.
The Ania Pro sits in a body machined from one piece of the highest quality aluminium. Also, it features Rega's three-point fixing method offering optimum connection to the head-shell while automatically setting overhang. The overall mass is quoted as being 6g with a suggested tracking pressure of between 1.75 and 2g.
The Ania Pro has a listed input load impedance of 100 ohms and 10 ohms output impedance. The nominal output voltage is stated as being 350μV while channel balance is ≥ 20μV and separation ≥ -29dB.
Rega suggests that the Ania Pro is the perfect partner for the Planar 3, Planar 6 or Planar 8 turntable and you can get it added as a factory-fitted option for both Planar 6 and Planar 8.
Regarding price, the Ania Pro sits between the Ania and Apheta 3 and costs £750.
