Rega Nd7 Moving Magnet Cartridge

$919.00 inc GST


The Rega Nd7 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 us to create this totally unique design.

Description

Rega Nd7 Moving Magnet Cartridge

The Rega Nd7 Moving Magnet Cartridge s meticulously hand-made by Rega’s highly skilled technicians.

The Nd7 uses their most advanced “fine line” nude diamond profile for the ultimate in detail retrieval. (The same profile is used on the high end MC models the Apheta 3 and Aphelion 2). This profile has an exceptionally small radii Monocrystalline  diamond with the minor radius being just 3µm (microns) as viewed from the top and 30µm in the vertical when viewed from the front.

This profile allows immediate adjustment to very small changes in the vinyl due to the small contact area of the diamond which results in exceptional levels of detail being retrieved. The design uses brand new generator geometry with perfect symmetry to achieve highly accurate channel balance.

The Nd7 also has an optimised pole gap for superior linearity and cross talk characteristics, this provides a far wider soundstage than the previous models.

The 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 their commitment to sustainability, the Nd range is supplied in 100% recyclable packaging.

Review

I would suggest that those looking for next level results with vinyl consider the Nd7 before an MC. It competes with both types at its price point and above, and the high output plus great tracking ability make it a very hard act to beat if you want to really dig deep into your vinyl. If you are looking to buy a Rega P6 or P8 this is the cartridge to go for, it will make your vinyl shine.”  – Jason Kennedy – Editor of The Ear

Nd Magnet technology

Often used in Moving Coil designs (including our own) the Nd7 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 & stylus profile

The Nd7 aluminum cantilever is fitted with a precision perfect fine line nude diamond stylus. This profile provides exceptional tracking accuracy and extracts greater levels of detail from the vinyl surface.

Factory Fitted options

The Nd7 cartridge will be offered as a factory fitted option on the multi award winning Planar 6 and Planar 8 turntable models. Designed specifically with these turntables in mind, the Nd7 promises to extract the very best from your vinyl collection. The factory fitted packages are offered at a discounted rate compared to when purchased separately, ask your Rega dealer for details.

Rega rebuild scheme

The unique pivot pad design of Rega cartridges improves performance by eliminating the mechanical joint between the stylus housing and the main body. This vastly improves tracking ability and stability of the stylus.

If you should damage or wear out your Rega cartridge, simply return it to you Rega dealer and they will supply you with a rebuild cartridge fitted with a new cantilever, stylus and pivot pad. Each rebuild is fully tested as a new cartridge would be.

The rebuild is sold at a reduced price once you trade in your worn or damaged cartridge that is equivalent to a replacement stylus offered by other manufacturers.
