Rega ND5 Moving Magnet Phono Cartridge (Clear Smoked)

The Rega ND5 Moving Magnet Phono Cartridge delivers breakthrough vinyl performance, engineered over 10+ years to redefine MM cartridge technology. As the world’s first moving magnet cartridge to use an ultra-high-powered Neodymium (N55) magnet, the ND5 achieves exceptional output, channel balance, and tracking accuracy. Its perfect elliptical nude diamond stylus on an aluminum cantilever extracts detail with precision, delivering a wider soundstage, superior linearity, and reduced crosstalk. Hand-built in the UK, the ND5 features miniaturized parallel coils wound with 38-micron wire to produce a low inductance/impedance generator for dramatically improved high-frequency response. The rigid, lightweight PPS body—inspired by Rega’s acclaimed MC range—reduces tonearm stress and improves stylus stability. With a unique pivot pad design and Rega’s 3-point mounting system, installation is easy and performance is optimized. Compatible with a range of turntables and offered factory-fitted on the Rega Planar 3 & Planar 6, the ND5 elevates your vinyl playback to audiophile clarity and musicality.
