Rega ND9

The ND9 features a high-rigidity PPS body and a boron rod cantilever, which are typically reserved for high-end moving coil designs. These premium materials, combined with hand-wound miniaturized coils, allow it to achieve a level of clarity and channel balance that far exceeds standard moving magnet performance.

Yes, because the ND9 is a moving magnet cartridge with a standard 5 mV output, it is compatible with any standard moving magnet phono stage. You do not need the specialized, high-gain amplification required for moving coil cartridges.

The Fine Line nude diamond profile is designed to sit deeper and more accurately within the record groove. This results in improved high-frequency detail, reduced distortion, and better tracking of complex musical passages compared to standard elliptical styli.

The ND9 uses Rega’s signature 3-point fixing system, which provides a secure, self-aligning connection on compatible Rega tonearms. If you are using a different brand of tonearm, ensure it supports standard half-inch mounting, though you will lose the alignment benefits of the 3-point system.

Boron is an incredibly stiff and lightweight material that minimizes resonance and energy loss between the stylus and the generator. This rigidity ensures that the cartridge captures more micro-detail from the groove, leading to a more dynamic and coherent sound.

The ND9 is designed to perform optimally at a tracking force of 1.75 grams. We recommend using a high-quality digital stylus force gauge to ensure you hit this target precisely for the best tracking performance and record longevity.
