Rega Nd7 Moving Magnet Cartridge

The Rega Nd7 represents a revolutionary step in moving magnet cartridge technology, developed over ten years to challenge the performance of traditional moving coil designs. This flagship model is meticulously hand-made in England and is designed to extract a stunning level of detail and musicality from your vinyl collection.

Key Features

• World-first Neodymium Magnet: The Nd7 is the first moving magnet cartridge to utilize the powerful Neodymium (Nd) N55 magnet, a technology typically reserved for high-end moving coil designs.
• Advanced Stylus Profile: It features Rega's most advanced "fine line" nude diamond stylus, the same profile found on their premium Apheta 3 and Aphelion 2 moving coil cartridges.
• Unique Generator Geometry: A newly designed generator with perfect symmetry ensures highly accurate channel balance and a wide, immersive soundstage.
• Lightweight PPS Body: The lightweight and highly rigid polyphenylene sulphide (PPS) body minimizes stress on the tonearm bearings, ensuring precise tracking.
• 3-Point Mounting System: Simplifies setup and provides a rigid connection for optimal performance, particularly with Rega tonearms.
• Eco-Friendly Packaging: The entire Nd range is supplied in 100% recyclable packaging, reflecting Rega's commitment to sustainability.

Technological Innovations

The Nd7's core innovation is its use of the powerful Neodymium N55 magnet. This allows for a low-inductance, low-impedance generator, which results in a vastly improved high-frequency response. The miniaturized parallel coils, meticulously wound in-house with 38-micron wire, work in perfect synergy with the magnet to deliver a powerful, yet refined, signal.

The fine line nude diamond stylus is another standout feature. With an exceptionally small radius, it allows the cartridge to adjust to minute changes in the vinyl groove, retrieving extraordinary detail and dynamics that are often missed by other cartridges.

Design and Construction

Every Nd7 cartridge is meticulously hand-made by Rega’s skilled technicians. The lightweight, glass-filled PPS body provides a solid, non-resonant housing for the internal components. This design was inspired by Rega’s successful moving coil range and is engineered to reduce mass, which is critical for ensuring the tonearm can move freely and accurately across the record surface.

Sonic Performance

In terms of sonic performance, the Nd7 delivers a compelling and engaging listening experience. It is praised for its ability to produce a wide and precisely defined soundstage, along with exceptional clarity and detail. The bass is tight and controlled, the mid-range is rich and textured, and the high-frequency extension is smooth and natural. The Nd7 offers a true high-fidelity experience that rivals many moving coil cartridges, making it an excellent upgrade for any serious vinyl enthusiast.
