Rega Nd5 Moving Magnet Cartridge – Unparalleled Vinyl Playback Performance

The Rega Nd5 Moving Magnet Cartridge is the latest achievement in over 10 years of research and development. This cutting-edge cartridge harnesses the power of Neodymium (Nd) magnet technology, a first for moving magnet cartridges. With this innovative design, the Nd5 provides a level of sound clarity and performance that takes moving magnet technology to new heights, making it the ideal choice for audiophiles who seek the best in vinyl playback.

Advanced Neodymium Magnet Technology The Nd5 is equipped with the world’s most powerful commercially available Neodymium (Nd) N55 magnet. Traditionally used in high-end moving coil designs, this advanced magnet technology delivers superior performance compared to standard bar magnet cartridges. The Nd5’s unique generator design and optimized pole gap ensure superior linearity, wider soundstage, and reduced crosstalk for a detailed and immersive listening experience.

Elliptical Nude Diamond Stylus & Cantilever At the heart of the Nd5 is its precision-engineered stylus. The elliptical nude diamond profile, crafted through an elliptical grinding process, offers exceptional tracking accuracy and detail extraction from vinyl records. Bonded to a durable aluminum cantilever, the stylus ensures a smooth and responsive playback, allowing you to fully appreciate the intricate details of your music collection.

Meticulous Craftsmanship Each Nd5 Moving Magnet Cartridge is handmade by Rega’s highly skilled technicians, ensuring the highest levels of quality control and precision. The miniaturized parallel coils, wound in-house using 38-micron wire, create a low-inductance, low-impedance generator, vastly improving high-frequency response and overall sound quality.

Lightweight and Rigid PPS Body The Nd5 is housed in a zero-tolerance, injection-molded glass-filled polyphenylene sulphide (PPS) body. This lightweight and rigid material is crucial for reducing stress on tonearm bearings and enhancing free movement, which is vital for accurate vinyl replay. The Nd5’s body design is inspired by Rega’s highly successful moving coil cartridge range, providing durability and excellent performance.

Sustainability and Rega’s Rebuild Scheme In keeping with Rega’s commitment to sustainability, the Nd5 is supplied in 100% recyclable packaging. Additionally, Rega offers a rebuild scheme where customers can trade in a worn or damaged cartridge and receive a fully tested rebuild at a reduced cost, offering long-term value.
