Cartridge

The Rega Nd3 is a moving magnet (MM) phono cartridge released in 2024. It is the entry-level model in Rega’s "Nd" series, representing the first major overhaul of their MM lineup in decades. It was designed over a 10-year period to replace the long-standing Elys 2.

Product description

The standout feature of the Nd3 (and the reason for its name) is the use of Neodymium N55 magnets, which Rega claims is a world-first for a moving magnet cartridge.

Key Features & Design

  • Neodymium N55 Magnet: Typically reserved for expensive Moving Coil (MC) designs, this powerful magnet allows for a smaller, lighter generator, which improves tracking and high-frequency detail.

  • Generator Geometry: Features a "zero-tolerance" injection-molded PPS (polyphenylene sulphide) body. It uses miniaturized parallel coils wound in-house with 38-micron wire (1,275 turns), resulting in low inductance and impedance.
  • Stylus & Cantilever: It utilizes a bonded elliptical stylus mounted on an aluminum cantilever.
  • 3-Point Mounting: Like most Rega cartridges, it features a three-hole mounting system that ensures perfect alignment and rigidity when used with Rega tonearms, though it is compatible with standard two-hole mounts as well.
