New Rega ND3, ND5, and ND7 cartridges
Rega has just introduced three new “ND” moving magnet cartridges that replace their outgoing Elys and Exact cartridges. There is the ND3, ND5, and ND7. These were first announced back in July. From Rega’s press release: “The [Nd7’s] all-new construction was developed over a 10 year period and promises to deliver ‘next level’ performance from moving magnet technology. The design uses a brand-new generator geometry with perfect symmetry to achieve accurate channel balance. The Nd7 also has an optimised pole gap for superior linearity and crosstalk characteristics. This new cartridge is created with miniaturized 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 and a notably wider sound stage.” Each Nd7 is reportedly handmade by Rega’s technicians in the UK and the Nd7 also comes with a lifetime warranty against manufacturing defects. Here’s a video review of the new ND7 from a shop in the UK.
