Rega Nd5 Moving Magnet Cartridge

Nd Magnet technology

Often used in Moving Coil designs (including our own) we believe the Nd5 is the first moving magnet 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 extra power than standard bar magnet designs.

Glass-filled PPS body

The complete assembly is housed in our 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 our 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.

Factory Fitted options

The Nd5 cartridge will be offered as a factory-fitted option on the multi-award winning Planar 3 and Planar 6 turntable models. Designed specifically with these turntables in mind, the Nd5 promises to extract the very best from your vinyl collection. The factory-fitted packages are offered at a discounted rate compared to when purchased separately, ask your Rega dealer for details.

Rega rebuild scheme

The unique pivot pad design of Rega cartridges improves performance by eliminating the mechanical joint between the stylus housing and the main body. This vastly improves the tracking ability and stability of the stylus. If you should damage or wear out your Rega cartridge, simply return it to us via the link above and your cartridge will be fitted with a new cantilever, stylus and pivot pad. Each rebuild is fully tested as a new cartridge would be. The rebuild price is equivalent to a replacement stylus offered by other manufacturers.
