Description

Rega spent 10 years developing the Nd range of moving magnet cartridges. They promise to deliver ‘next level’ performance from moving magnet technology. The Nd range including the Nd5 use ultra-high powered Neodymium magnets for a healthy output and a totally unique design.

Each Nd5 is meticulously hand-made by Rega’s highly skilled technicians. The stylus profile is a perfect elliptical nude diamond. This is a true ellipse created by an elliptical grinding process made from polycrystalline manmade diamond. The design uses brand new generator geometry with perfect symmetry to achieve accurate channel balance. The Nd5 also has an optimised pole gap for superior linearity and cross talk characteristics, this provides a far wider soundstage than the previous models. This new cartridge is created with miniaturised parallel coils which are wound by Rega in house utilising 38-micron wire with just 1275 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.
