Rega Nd5 – Advanced Moving Magnet Cartridge

The Rega Nd5 redefines what a moving-magnet cartridge can do, bringing neodymium magnet power and precision engineering to vinyl playback. Handmade in the UK and crafted over a decade, it offers moving-coil-level performance with an elliptical nude diamond stylus—designed for audiophiles seeking clarity and dynamic expression at an attainable price.

Key Features

• Neodymium N55 magnet: First-ever use in an MM cartridge, boosting dynamics and output while enabling low-mass design
• Elliptical nude diamond stylus: Precision tracking for detailed and low-distortion sound
• Miniaturized parallel coils: 38 µm wire with 1,275 turns—low inductance delivers extended high-frequency response
• Optimized pole gap: Superior channel balance and linearity for a wide soundstage
• Glass-filled PPS body: Lightweight, rigid chassis reduces resonance and tonearm strain
• Rega three-point mount: Easy installation with precise alignment

Customer Benefits
