It features a lightweight PPS body and comes in recyclable packaging.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Rega 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. The 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. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"heading-5 uppercase\"\u003eFEATURES\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"bullet-list green-bullets\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFine Line nude diamond profile\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBoron 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 PPS body\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHandmade stereo cartridge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e100% recyclable packaging\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAvailable factory fitted on the Planar 8 turntable.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLifetime warranty\u003ca data-smooth-scroll=\"8jj0g9-smooth-scroll\" href=\"https:\/\/www.rega.co.uk\/products\/nd9#lifetime-warranty\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eagainst manufacture defects\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach \u003ci\u003eNd9\u003c\/i\u003e is meticulously hand-made by highly skilled technicians. The \u003ci\u003eNd9\u003c\/i\u003e uses Rega's most advanced “fine line” nude diamond profile, bonded to a Boron rod cantilever for maximum musical detail retrieval. This profile has an exceptionally small radii Monocrystalline manmade diamond with the minor radius being just 3µm (microns) as viewed from the top and 30µm in the vertical when viewed from the front. This profile allows immediate adjustment to very small changes in the vinyl due to the small contact area of the diamond which results in exceptional levels of detail being retrieved. The design uses brand new generator geometry with perfect symmetry to achieve highly accurate channel balance. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003ci\u003eNd9\u003c\/i\u003e 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 Rega's commitment to sustainability, the Nd range is supplied in 100% recyclable packaging.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\n\u003ci\u003eNd \u003c\/i\u003eMagnet technology\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOften used in Moving Coil designs, the \u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNd\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003erange\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eare the first moving magnets to utilise a Neodymium (Nd) N55 magnet.

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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFactory Fitted option\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNd9\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003ecartridge will be offered as a factory fitted option on the multi award winning\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003ePlanar 8\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.rega.co.uk\/products\/planar-8\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eturntable model.  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\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"xxxlarge-6 cell module-2-content\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eGlass Filled PPS Body\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe complete assembly is housed in a zero tolerance Injection moulded glass filled polyphenylene sulphide body (PPS) which is a lightweight and highly rigid material.
