Three, All New, Moving Magnet Designs From Rega Are Launched
It has been a long time in coming but, finally, Rega's new moving magnet cartridge designs are available with the new Nd range of cartridges now available.
Replacing the Elys 2 & Exact models plus adding a new top of the range MM design, the all new Nd3, Nd5 & Nd7 MM cartridges were developed over 10 years and promise to deliver ‘next level’ performance from moving magnet technology.
Rega's new Nd range is believed to be the world's first moving magnet cartridge design to use ultra-high powered Neodymium magnets which allows Rega to create this totally unique design.
The Nd cartidges feature a completely new body design (albeit visually similar to Rega's excellent moving coil range), 3-point fixing, aluminium cantliever and either an elliptical (Nd3), nude elliptical (Nd5) or nude fine line (Nd7) stylus profiles.
And first impressions here of each design as they have arrived are certainly very good indeed, and that was straight out of the box - which also now happens to be recyclable!
The Rega Nd range is now on demo and available from stock here at Basically Sound.
And the new models are available as factory fitted options on various Rega turntables as listed below:
- Planar-2 >> Nd3
- Planar-3 >> Nd3 or Nd5
- Planar-6 >> Nd5 or Nd7
- Planar-8 >> Nd7
