About the Nd3

The Rega Nd3 is an all-new moving magnet cartridge that represents a significant advancement in MM technology. Developed over a decade, it features a patent-pending Nd range design that uses ultra-high powered Neodymium magnets—believed to be a world first for moving magnet cartridges. The cartridge is meticulously handmade by skilled technicians and incorporates a unique generator geometry with perfect symmetry for accurate channel balance. The miniaturized parallel coils are wound in-house using 38-micron wire with just 1275 turns, producing low inductance and low impedance for vastly improved high frequency response. The optimized pole gap delivers superior linearity and crosstalk characteristics, providing a wider soundstage than previous models. The Nd3 features a highly rigid, lightweight glass-filled polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) body inspired by Rega's MC cartridge designs, which reduces stress on tonearm bearings and aids free movement for accurate vinyl replay. It comes with 100% recyclable packaging and includes a lifetime warranty against manufacturing defects. The cartridge is available as a factory-fitted option on Rega's Planar 2 and Planar 3 turntables.
