Rega Ania Pro MC Phono Cartridge (MC) Selling my Rega Ania Pro MC Cartridge. Purchased early this year , sparingly used. Comes with receipt and warranty. Selling P6 Turntable too in a separate ad. Condition: Excellent Payment Method: Cash etc Region/State: (NSW) New South Wales/Australia By peppy 0 Comments AUD $1,050 Date: September 6, 20241 yr
This Rega Ania Pro MC cartridge in excellent condition is priced at A$1,050, which sits comfortably below the median of A$913 but actually above the 25th percentile of A$663, making it a solid fair deal rather than a bargain; however, it is well under the 75th percentile of A$1,646, so it’s a smart buy for a well-maintained unit. The listing’s “excellent” condition note implies minimal wear on the Vital line-contact stylus and stable coil health, reducing the risk of costly re-stylus fees that can exceed A$500 for this model.
The Ania Pro is highly regarded for its smooth, detailed sound and robust tracking, thanks to its 6g mass and 350μV output that pairs easily with most MC preamps. Its Vital line-contact stylus offers superior groove contact compared to standard ellipticals, delivering better channel separation and lower distortion. With no mentioned missing accessories or age concerns, and given its position in the lower half of the used price band, this is a timely opportunity to own a top-tier moving coil cartridge without pushing into premium-priced territory.

Rega Research, founded in 1973 in Essex, England, by Roy Gandy and Tony Relph, emerged from Gandy's lifelong passion for vinyl playback. A Ford engineer and music enthusiast, Gandy built his first turntable, the Planet, in his spare time, blending the founders' surnames to create the Rega name. From humble beginnings in a derelict mill, the company quickly gained traction with early models like the Planar 2 and Planar 3, establishing its heritage as a British hi-fi pioneer dedicated to precision engineering and hand-assembly.
Rega specializes in turntables and tonearms, its cornerstone products, but has expanded into a full ecosystem including cartridges, integrated amplifiers like the Elicit and Brio, phono stages such as the Fono, and speakers like the Ela series. While early efforts included loudspeakers and electronics from the 1980s onward, the brand prioritizes vinyl-centric components over headphones, DACs, or cables, all designed in-house for musical fidelity using specialist materials and tight tolerances.
Rega holds a revered position in the high-end hi-fi market as a niche boutique icon, prized by audiophiles for affordable, lifetime-quality performance that emphasizes music over gimmicks. Globally exported to over 50 countries from its Essex facility employing more than 150, it remains a symbol of British ingenuity, with turntables like the Planar series securing enduring loyalty among vinyl revivalists.
