About the Rega Nd5 MM Cartridge

The Rega Nd5 is a high-performance, hand-assembled moving magnet cartridge featuring a precision elliptical nude diamond stylus and aluminium cantilever for outstanding tracking and detail retrieval. Using a powerful Neodymium N55 magnet—rare in MM designs—it delivers enhanced output and accuracy. Its unique generator with miniaturised parallel coils ensures improved channel balance, reduced crosstalk, and extended high-frequency response. The rigid, lightweight glass-filled PPS body reduces tonearm stress for more accurate playback. Sustainably packaged and designed with Rega’s signature 3-point mounting system, the Nd5 combines cutting-edge engineering with eco-consciousness.
