The design uses brand new generator geometry with perfect symmetry to achieve accurate channel balance. The Nd3 also has an optimised pole gap for superior linearity and cross talk characteristics, this provides a far wider soundstage than the previous models. This new cartridge is created with miniaturised 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. In keeping with our commitment to sustainability, the Nd range is supplied in 100% recyclable packaging.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eKEY FEATURES\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eElliptical profile stylus\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAluminium cantilever\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeodymium magnet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUnique generator\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRega 3 point mounting system\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHighly rigid lightweight PPS body\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHandmade stereo cartridge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e100% recyclable packaging\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLifetime warranty against manufacture defects\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eNd Magnet technology\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOften used in Moving Coil designs (including our own) we believe the Nd3 is the first moving magnet 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eGlass filled PPS body\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe complete assembly is housed in our zero tolerance Injection moulded glass filled polyphenylene sulphide body (PPS) which is a lightweight and highly rigid material. A low mass body reduces stress on the tonearm bearings and aids free movement which is critical in accurate vinyl replay. This new body design was inspired by our hugely successful MC range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCantilever \u0026amp; stylus profile\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Nd3 aluminium cantilever is fitted with a precision elliptical stylus. This profile provides exceptional tracking accuracy and extracts great levels of detail from the vinyl surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFactory Fitted options\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Nd3 cartridge will be offered as a factory fitted option on the Planar 2 and Planar 3 turntables offering exceptional performance and value for these models. The factory fitted package is offered at a discounted rate compared to when purchased separately, ask your Rega dealer for details.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eRega rebuild scheme\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe unique pivot pad design of Rega cartridges improves performance by eliminating the mechanical joint between the stylus housing and the main body. This vastly improves tracking ability and stability of the stylus. If you should damage or wear out your Rega cartridge, simply return it to you Rega dealer and they will supply you with a rebuild cartridge fitted with a new cantilever, stylus and pivot pad. Each rebuild is fully tested as a new cartridge would be. The rebuild is sold at a reduced price once you trade in your worn or damaged cartridge that is equivalent to a replacement stylus offered by other manufacturers.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rega","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56234212589955,"sku":"20955","price":175.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0939\/9356\/6595\/files\/20955-1RegaND3Side.jpg?v=1755180963","url":"https:\/\/www.soundcrafthifi.com\/products\/rega-nd3-moving-magnet-cartridge","provider":"Soundcraft Hi-Fi","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
