  • First Look at the Brand New Rega Cartridges

    In this special video, Kevin is joined by our dear friend Ari from Rega for an exclusive first look at the brand new ND3, ND5, and ND7 cartridges. With over a decade spent on development, these cartridges promise to bring next-level performance to vinyl lovers everywhere.

Rega ND3 Moving Magnet Cartridge

The all-new Nd moving magnet cartridge line was developed over 10 years, and promises to deliver ‘next level’ performance from moving magnet technology. Rega believes the patent pending Nd range is the first in the world to use ultra-high powered neodymium magnets.

Each Nd3 is meticulously hand-made by our highly skilled technicians. The stylus profile is a high-quality elliptical profile manmade polycrystalline diamond, which is bonded to a round titanium shank. The design uses brand new generator geometry with perfect symmetry to achieve accurate channel balance. The Nd3 also has an optimized pole gap for superior linearity and crosstalk characteristics, providing a far wider soundstage than previous models. This new cartridge is created with miniaturized parallel coils wound in-house with 38-micron wire and just 1,275 turns. This produces a low-inductance, low-impedance generator giving vastly improved high-frequency response. In keeping with Rega's commitment to sustainability, the Nd range is supplied in 100% recyclable packaging.

Nd Magnet Technology

Often used in moving coil designs, Rega believes the Nd3 is the first moving magnet to use a neodymium (Nd) N55 magnet. This is the world’s most powerful commercially available magnet and is a crucial component that makes this unique design possible by delivering extra power than standard bar magnet designs.

Glass-Filled PPS Body

The complete assembly is housed in Rega's zero-tolerance, injection-molded, glass-filled polyphenylene sulfide body (PPS), which is a lightweight and highly rigid material. A low-mass body reduces stress on the tonearm bearings and aids free movement which is critical in accurate vinyl replay. This new body design was inspired by Rega's hugely successful MC range.

Cantilever and Stylus Profile

The Nd3 aluminum cantilever is fitted with a bonded precision elliptical stylus. This profile provides exceptional tracking accuracy and extracts great levels of detail from the vinyl surface.
