Rega - Nd5 - Moving Magnet Turntable Cartridge

Rega’s all-new Nd5 moving magnet cartridge delivers ‘next level’ performance from moving magnet technology. The new Rega Nd range is a world first to use an ultra-high powered Neodymium magnet. Fits any turntable. (Turntable not included.) Advanced Moving Magnet Each Nd5 is meticulously hand-made by Rega’s highly skilled technicians. 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 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 Nd5 is supplied in 100% recyclable packaging. KEY FEATURES Perfect elliptical nude diamond profile stylus Aluminium cantilever Neodymium magnet Unique generator Rega 3-point mounting system Highly rigid lightweight PPS body Handmade stereo cartridge 100% recyclable packaging Rega lifetime warranty against manufacture defects Nd Magnet technology Often used in Moving Coil designs (including Rega’s own), Rega says the Nd5 is the first moving magnet cartridge to utilise 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 more power than standard bar magnet design. Glass filled PPS body The complete assembly is housed in Rega’s zero-tolerance injection moulded glass filled polyphenylene sulphide 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 & stylus profile The Nd5 aluminium cantilever is fitted with a precision perfect elliptical nude diamond stylus. This profile provides exceptional tracking accuracy and extracts greater levels of detail from the vinyl surface.
