I have an Apheta 2 on my RP8. Sounds great into the Aria phono stage. Muck does tend to stick to the stylus though so it needs cleaning with a carbon brush after every side. Hairs also seem to attached to the front of the cartridge. The stylus guard is a bloody nightmare with none too steady hands and poor eyesight. I have to use it though, as SWMBO is fond of dusting the deck, despite being asked, nay TOLD not to.
That’s strange as I have an Apheta 2 on a Planar 8 and I don’t notice it picking up much dust at all. I do wet clean all my records though.I have an Apheta 2 on my RP8.

I have the same combo. Yes, it's good at cleaning LPs! Obviously it's a great and trouble-free sound, and the cantilever still looks dead centre after a year of use.I have an Apheta 2 on my RP8.
