Interesting, haven't heard of this one. Is it a single cartridge or a range?
My understanding is that there is just the one at the moment, it is named the Nd7 - rather catchy (not).
Yes, Bristol.
I heard it today, at the show. I must say I thought the whole system was very impressive.
Awesome, nice to get feedback from someone who has actually heard it, I only got the gossip about it being launched. Apparently the Rega stand/room was one of the best at the show, some other reputable brands were a bit meh and lacklustre.
why wouldn't you fit one to a P8 if you didn't want to go the MC route?
I always get this feeling that MC carts and TT’s at or near the top of the range sort of go together, yes I know it’s stupid but sometimes I just forget that a good MM cart can work just as well as an MC cart in the right system.
Not what I meant, i think, however you are correct that spending hundreds on what could be an entry level MC could be considered madness when there are as good or better MM cartridges available for the same price.
I didn’t notice the pre-power, but it might well have been in a static display. Indeed, Rega had a second room, opposite the one I listened in. It’s on the show plan, so it was probably in there. There is a picture in the WHF show report, on the main website.

Bristol Hi-Fi Show Report 2024 Pt.1 | The Ear
The annual industry shindig and the country’s most popular hi-fi show proved to be as lively as ever over last weekend. With new kit from a variety of
I’d forgotten that one, but it looked stunning. Definitely looked like two grands worth with the wooden plinth laminate and carbon fibre arm. Curiously used the AT-3600 carbon cartridge like Rega does with the one branded for them, complete with conical stylus.
Indeed! Funnily enough, in its white livery it looks quite striking. It was a superb design overall.

Interesting that they’ve gone down the non-replaceable stylus route. I think that means all their own cartridges are like that now. I don’t doubt there’s a fractional benefit, but it’s funny how Ortofon and AT, who sell more cartridges in the time it takes me to write this than Rega sells in a year, seem to manage fine with replaceable ones!Rega launched the ND3 cartridge last week, and it replaces the Elys. I wonder if the ND7 will replace the exact when it comes out?
