Rega Nd9

Nd9 - The best MM cartridge from Rega

Rega Nd9 is the culmination of more than 50 years of experience in cartridge development – and quite simply the highest-performing moving magnet cartridge Rega has ever made.

At its core is a boron cantilever with a Fine Line stylus profile, the same combination used in the reference model Aphelion 2. This means lightning-fast response, superb tracking, and impressively precise reproduction of even the finest details.

The newly developed generator with low impedance and excellent high-frequency headroom delivers a larger, more open, and dynamic soundstage than previous MM cartridges from Rega.

Each Nd9 is hand-built in England – bringing you closer to moving coil performance than ever before, without losing Rega's warmth and musicality.

Highlights

• Boron cantilever
• state-of-the-art Fine Line diamond
• Generator with low inductance and symmetrical structure
• Neodymium N55 magnet
• Parallel-wound coils in ultra-thin wire
• PPS body in glass-fiber-reinforced polymer
• Hand-assembled in England

Nd magnet technology

Nd9 is the world's first moving magnet cartridge to use Neodymium N55 – the strongest commercially available magnet in the world. The extra power makes it possible to combine the user-friendliness of the MM principle with MC-like detail and dynamics.

The body is molded from glass-filled PPS (the same material used in Rega's MC cartridges). It is lightweight, extremely rigid, and reduces the load on the tonearm bearings, allowing the cartridge to move completely freely.

Rebuild program

Thanks to Rega's unique pivot-pad design, you can have your Nd9 rebuilt with a new cantilever, new diamond, and new pivot pad – at a price equivalent to a standard stylus replacement from other brands. The rebuild is tested like a new cartridge and delivered 100% as original.

Eco-friendly packaging

The entire Nd series comes in 100% recyclable packaging.

In short: Nd9 is not just a new cartridge – it is the new benchmark for what a moving magnet can achieve.
