Rega ND5, Moving Magnet Cartridge
The outgoing cartridge models by Rega have been around for decades, hell even Lifetimes and they have become industry standards defining good value for money cartridges in the low to mid-fi market.
It must have been a daunting task to reengineer what has already been such a sucessful category for Rega. But they haven't shied away from the challenge!
These new moving magnet cartridges all use Neodymium magnets to generate a signal. This in itself is quite a feat. Neodymiums are the strongest magnets one can buy meaning you can create a really light fast, efficient generator with the magnets. Get it wrong though and the results could be disastrous. THese are the first Moving Magnet Neodymium cartridges that are commercially available.
On top of this, the ND5 has a Nude Elliptical Stylus and an Aluminium cantilever.
The sound is tighter bass and wider soundstage than anything that has come before.
It will be factory fitted on the Planar 3 and Planar 6

Rega ND5, Moving Magnet Cartridge
Each Nd5 is meticulously hand-made by our 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 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 our commitment to sustainability, the Nd range is supplied in 100% recyclable packaging.
