Rega ND5

Rega Nd5

The Rega Nd5 phono cartridge is a moving magnet (MM) model with a bare elliptical diamond belonging to the Rega Nd series. The latter is characterized by the use of a N55 neodymium magnet, the most powerful on the market, usually reserved for moving coil (MC) cartridges. The Rega Nd5 hifi cartridge promises clear and detailed reproduction as well as a wide soundstage.

The Rega Nd5 moving magnet cartridge guarantees clear reproduction and a wide soundstage ideal for rediscovering your favourite vinyl records.

3-point fixing

The Rega Nd5 phono cartridge replaces the Rega Elys 2 model. Like the latter, it is designed to preserve the integrity of the musical signal by eliminating losses due to vibrations and resonances. Its internal design and its three-point fixing system, specific to the British manufacturer, ensure a perfect connection with the tonearm. The cartridge-tonearm couple is now one, the mechanical vibrations outside the signal are evacuated from the cartridge to the tonearm and then from the tonearm to the turntable, producing a resonance path which moves away from the record and preserves all the reading acuity of the cartridge.

The Rega Nd5 phono cartridge uses the 3-point fixing standard used by the British manufacturer in order to benefit from perfect stability and an optimal connection with the tonearm.

Bare elliptical diamond

The Rega Nd5 phono cartridge is equipped with a bare elliptical diamond, which justifies the upgrade compared to the Nd3 model with an elliptical diamond. The bare elliptical diamond benefits from a stylus cut from a single piece. Thus, its lower mass offers better precision in tracking the groove. The sound is richer and more detailed, transients are better respected. This diamond is mounted on an aluminum cantilever. A light and rigid material that ensures perfect tracking of the grooves in order to extract every detail.

Wide and detailed soundstage

The Rega Nd5 cartridge shines with its musical reproduction. The soundstage is wide and precise. Indeed, this phono cartridge benefits from an optimized space between the poles. Thus, the Rega Nd5 guarantees excellent linearity and superior crosstalk characteristics, which allows to obtain a very wide soundstage. Another new feature is the miniaturized parallel winding using a 38 micron wire with only 1275 turns which optimizes the inductance and impedance in order to maximize the response in the high frequencies.
