Rega Phono Cartridge Nd3

The all new Nd3 moving magnet cartridge was developed over 10 years and promises to deliver next level performance from moving magnet technology. The Nd range (patent pending) is a world first to use ultra-high powered Neodymium magnets in a moving magnet design which allows Rega to create this totally unique design.

• Aluminum cantilever

• Neodymium magnet

• Unique generator

• Rega 3 point mounting system

• Highly rigid lightweight PPS body

• Handmade stereo cartridge

• 100% recyclable packaging

• Lifetime warranty against manufacture defects

ND MAGNET TECHNOLOGY

Often used in Moving Coil designs (including our own) 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 AND STYLUS PROFILE

The Nd3 aluminium cantilever is fitted with a bonded precision elliptical stylus. This profile provides exceptional tracking accuracy and extracts greater levels of detail from the vinyl surface.

Each Nd3 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.
