Rega’s Nd Series: Moving Magnet, Major Performance
Posted by The Sound Organisation on Jul 23rd 2025
Rega Research has introduced a fresh lineup of moving magnet cartridges—the Nd3, Nd5, and Nd7—bringing impressive innovation to the analog world. Developed over ten years, these cartridges feature powerful Neodymium magnets and precision coil engineering, pushing MM performance to exciting new heights.
The Nd3 and Nd5 share the same internal design, with differences in stylus material. Both offer low inductance and impedance, resulting in broader soundstaging and improved high-frequency response. The Nd3 delivers lively dynamics, rich tone, and an engaging sound that’s full of character—ideal for those who want a fun, musical vinyl experience. It shines with classic jazz and energetic recordings, bringing warmth and rhythm to the forefront.
The Nd5 cartridge steps it up with more detail, depth, and clarity. Its refined presentation makes instruments feel more lifelike and reveals new layers in familiar tracks. From textured piano to expressive vocals, it provides a natural and immersive listening experience.
Available as standalone upgrades or factory-fitted on select Rega turntables, the Nd3 and Nd5 are excellent options for analog enthusiasts looking to get standout performance and value from their MM setup.
