Rega Nd3 – High-Performance Moving Magnet Cartridge

The Rega Nd3 is a breakthrough in moving magnet phono design, harnessing powerful neodymium magnets and precision engineering to deliver dynamic, detailed, and musical vinyl playback. Designed over a decade and handmade in the UK, it brings moving-coil-class performance to a mid-price range—offering a compelling upgrade for modern turntable setups like the Planar series.

Key Features

• Neodymium N55 magnet: World-first use in a moving magnet cartridge, enabling lower-mass coils and superior dynamics
• Bonded elliptical diamond stylus: Precision-tracking aluminum cantilever extracts rich detail with low wear
• Miniaturised parallel coils: 38 µm wire, 1,275 turns—for low inductance and crisp high-frequency response
• Rugged PPS body: Glass-filled polymer chassis, low-mass and high rigidity reduce resonance and tonearm load
• Three-point mount & pivot pad: Ensures precise alignment and smooth, stable tracking
