Design

The Super Elys shares the same body
moulding as the rest of the Rega
cartridge range. This is a one piece body
and has no energy sapping joints
between the stylus mounting and
headshell contact face. The headshell
face is machined perfectly flat to ensure
maximum contact between cartridge and
headshell.

Coil Winding

Rega have designed and developed its
own coil winding machine. This allows
us to manufacture coils in a completely
new and innovative way. This means
approximately one third less wire is used
than in our other cartridges, making the
Super Elys more efficient than the Elys.

Cantilever

The Super Elys has a non removable
cantilever, fitted with an elliptical tip. This
allows accurate information to be
gleaned from the records.

Assembly

Because of the design and extremely
high tolerances of Rega cartridges, our
assembly methods owe more to watch
making than the assembly line. Every
one is hand built, and the highly skilled
operatives use little more than tweezers
and microscopes. Each cartridge is then
adjusted and tested twice over a 24 hour
period.
Such methods are expensive and time
consuming but we feel the results are
worth it. We hope you do too.

This cartridge should be fitted by a
Rega dealer using specialist tools to
ensure the correct torque is applied.
