....no comment on it, as I think that it speaks for itself.
And I am no Rega hater, currently owning two Regas and having had one, at most times, over the last 40 years.
I will speak to the Ania however. I think that any cartridge, at this price point, sporting a bonded elliptical stylus is not good VFM. I think that the Exact, with it's nude mounted, square shank, Ogura Vital stylus, is better value, if you don't want to mess with spacers, and you are happy with a warmer sound signature. The Ania Pro is also a really great sounding cartridge, but you would need to stretch to the next price level to afford it.
There are, of course, many high value non-Rega cartridges that will match well with that arm. You can certainly feel confident with cartridges at least to the $1500 range.
