Rega ND9 Moving Magnet Cartridge

Rega Nd9 Moving Magnet Cartridge Marketing

Description

The Nd9 cartridge draws on decades of expertise in cartridge engineering and cantilever design to deliver the highest-performing moving magnet cartridge we have ever produced. Our design team has introduced a Boron rod cantilever with a Fine Line stylus profile based on the reference Aphelion 2 moving-coil cartridge for use in the Nd9. The Boron cantilever offers exceptional stiffness and low mass, enabling ultra-fast response and outstanding playback accuracy. The Nd9 is also available as a factory-fitted option on the Planar 8 turntable.  

The Rega Nd9 is the flagship of Rega’s moving magnet cartridge range, engineered to deliver exceptional clarity, speed, and musical realism. Featuring a precision nude diamond stylus and Rega’s advanced Nd (neodymium) magnet system, the Nd9 extracts extraordinary detail while maintaining the natural timing and tonal balance Rega is renowned for.

Designed and hand-assembled in the UK, the Nd9 offers outstanding tracking accuracy, ultra-low distortion, and a wide, engaging soundstage. Its rigid, lightweight body ensures seamless compatibility with Rega tonearms, making it an ideal upgrade for serious vinyl enthusiasts seeking reference-level performance from a moving magnet design.

Nd Magnet technology
Often used in Moving Coil designs (including our own) our Nd range are the first moving magnets to utilise a Neodymium (Nd) N55 magnet. This is the world’s most powerful commercially available magnet and is a crucial component that makes this unique design possible by delivering extra power than standard bar magnet designs.

Boron Cantilever & stylus profile

The Nd9 boron cantilever is fitted with a precision perfect fine line nude diamond stylus. This combination provides the ultimate in tracking accuracy and extracts greater levels of detail from the vinyl surface. The challenge we faced with the Nd9 was connecting the Nd magnet to a solid Boron rod. This was achieved by working with a famous watch maker to manufacture an ultra-fine connecting tube with different diameters at each end. Boron is exceptionally light which allows for faster reaction to the changes in record surface and is highly rigid for its mass. A more rigid cantilever bends less so it transmits motion more accurately with less distortion.
