Rega Atlas MK2

Rega 3-Point VTA Spacer Inox

Height adjustment for three-point armsThe Rega 3-Point VTA Spacer Inox is Rega’s 2 mm stainless steel spacer for three-point tonearms. Made in England, it gives a rigid, stable base under the arm when extra height is needed for deeper-bodied cartridges.When it is neededRega cartridges sit lower than most on the market and Rega arms are designed around them. With a deeper third-party cartridge, its rear can touch the record. The spacer lifts the arm by 2 mm and solves the problem. It is also used when a Rega arm is fitted to another make of turntable.

Rega ND5

A step up in the Nd seriesThe Nd5 is a hand-built stereo moving magnet (MM) cartridge, made in England, that sits above the Nd3 in Rega's new range. It shares the series' core technology, namely the N55 neodymium magnet, PPS body and three-point mounting, but adds a nude elliptical diamond stylus. Rega reports improved linearity, a wider soundstage and better high-frequency response compared with its previous MM cartridges.Factory-fitted optionThe Nd5 is available factory-fitted to the Planar 3 and Planar 6 turntables, at a lower price than buying it separately, and is the cartridge of the Planar 3 RS Edition. With an output of 5 to 6 mV it works with any MM phono stage, from the Fono Mini A2D MK2 and Fono MM MK5 to the phono stages of the Elex and Elicit amplifiers.Reviews, rebuild and warrantyThe Nd5 has earned a Best Buy from The Ear and a Recommended award from Hi-Fi Choice. Through the Rega rebuild scheme, a worn cartridge can be rebuilt with a new cantilever, stylus and pivot pad at a reduced price. It is covered by Rega's Lifetime Limited Warranty against manufacturing defects.

Rega ND7

Next-level moving magnetThe Nd7 is a hand-built stereo moving magnet (MM) cartridge from Rega's new Nd series, made in England. It combines the series' N55 neodymium magnet and miniaturised parallel coils with a fine line stylus cut from a nude mono-crystal diamond, a profile usually found on far more expensive cartridges. The goal is even greater resolution of detail and a more stable stereo image.Factory option on the Planar 6 and Planar 8The Nd7 is available factory-fitted to the Planar 6 and Planar 8 turntables, at a lower price than buying it separately. With an output of 5 to 6 mV it works with any MM phono stage, such as the Fono MM MK5 or the phono stages of the Elex MK4 and Elicit MK5 amplifiers. Jason Kennedy of The Ear even recommended it as an alternative to MC cartridges at the same price.Awards, rebuild and warrantyThe Nd7 has earned an Editor's Choice from The Ear and Best Buy and Best Cartridge awards from AVForums. Through the Rega rebuild scheme, a worn cartridge can be rebuilt with a new cantilever, stylus and pivot pad at a reduced price. It is covered by Rega's Lifetime Limited Warranty against manufacturing defects.

Rega Ania

The MC cartridge that makes the upgrade affordableThe Rega Ania is the moving coil (MC) cartridge with which the British company brought the know-how of the Apheta and Aphelion to a far more accessible level. It uses the same hand-wound micro coil as the rest of Rega's MC range, an elliptical diamond stylus and an aluminium cantilever. For anyone already running a Rega turntable with a moving magnet cartridge, it is the most logical next step towards more detail, speed and clarity.Sound characterThe Ania delivers lively dynamics and natural tonality, with good resolution of the small details hidden in the groove. Bass is tight and controlled, the midrange has body and the treble stays clean without harshness. It rewards both focused listening and everyday use, without needing an exotic system to show what it can do.Ideal pairingsRega recommends the Ania for the Planar 3 and Planar 6, with which it shares the philosophy of light, rigid construction. It fits equally well on any Rega tonearm with three-point fixing (RB330, RB880, RB3000). As with every true MC cartridge its output is low, so it needs a phono stage with an MC input and enough gain, such as the Rega Fono MC.

Rega Apheta 3

Fifteen years of developmentRega has refined its moving coil cartridges for more than fifteen years, using undamped micro-mass generators and jointless bodies. The Apheta 2 was a great success and the Apheta 3 builds on it, borrowing from the flagship Aphelion 2 the nude Fine Line diamond stylus mounted at 90 degrees. The aim is to recover even more detail from the groove.Sound characterThe Apheta 3 delivers clear, transparent highs, exceptional resolution, rich low frequencies and very good channel separation. The sound is musical and natural, with correct rendering of instrumental timbre and fast transient response. It is a cartridge that reveals what is really on a good pressing, without adding brightness or weight.The ideal partnerRega calls it the ideal partner for the Planar 8 and Planar 10, and through retailers it is also available factory-fitted as a package at a more favourable price. It also suits the Planar 6 and the RB330 and RB880 tonearms, while Rega's Aura MC phono stage is its natural companion. It needs an MC phono stage.

Rega Carbon

The cartridge of the Planar 1 and Planar 2The Rega Carbon is a high-quality moving magnet (MM) cartridge designed for easy fitting and setup, with accurate music reproduction as its main goal. It is the cartridge factory-fitted to the Planar 1 and Planar 2 turntables and Rega's most affordable MM cartridge. The company presents it as one of the best-performing cartridges in its class relative to its price.Standard mounting for any tonearmThe Carbon uses the established half-inch, two-screw mounting, so it can be fitted not only to Rega tonearms but also to arms from other manufacturers. Its wide tracking force range, from 2 to 3 g, makes it forgiving to set up and ideal for anyone taking their first steps into vinyl.
