How's it perform as far as IGD is concerned?

Hi joey , another great video, I think records and deck are tactile , you have to clean your records clean the cartridge stylus , yiu have to get up change the record over , ie you have look after your deck and as you well aware you can get best audio and also I recently compared s cd and and lo of the same recording and the my p3 not far off the quality audio from the cd, , I don’t some mods to my p3 like changed to a reference belt, fidelity top sun platter which does improve the wow and flutter, I use a cork-rubber composite mat instead of the felt to improve a bit, also I have Neo mk1 psu, I have Elyis 2 cartridge although the a sounds pretty good but it does pick up the hum from motor as goes to end of play, it’s annoying fir price of that cartridge it shouldn’t happen, I have tested the deck with another cartridge and reduce or even hum goes , I hope the new nd range thus don’t happen, it’s quite known fact on all the forums this issue happens. I did try earth the motor housing try reduce the hum but it didn’t. Long time back I had rp2 and didn’t have this issue. Regards mark

Hi, another great video if I could afford a nd5 would give it a try but I wold like to upgrade my elyis 2 to an exact , I have already replaced the sub platter to a fidelity top sub platter and that has improve the wow and flutter , bought a mk1 Neo psu but my p3 at a good price being 4 months old , but in hindsight should gone for the 50yrs anniversary p3 with exact fitted and Neo mk2 psu , although have saved some money but been better went for the anniversary one as was only £899, you may think what the limitations of your intergrqted amp and speakers to see if yiy hete the difference. Regards mark

Hi Joey, i have a p3 anniversary edition with Exact. Would the nd5 or the nd7 be the best upgrade path? Regards from Holland!

I have an all Rega system with the P6 turntable. I just replaced my Exact cartridge with the ND5 and I couldn't be happier. I can't get away from my hi-fi system, listening to my record collection over and over again. The stereo aspect has improved, the bass is more pronounced, the highs and mid-range are fuller - just a joy to listen. The only downside is that the ND5 cartridge is larger than the Exact and I have to figure how to raise the tonearm because, now, the stylus sometimes touches the record in the up position. I need to lift the cue lifter's cuing platform by freeing up the grub screw on the platform using a 1.2 mm screwdriver and raise it slightly. I have yet to do that. Just so you know.

Logical competitor is the Ortifon Black. Also a moving magnet.

greetings from ireland. enjoy the channel and your approach. good luck with new venture :-)

Hi I have a Rega Fono mk5. It plays beautifully, dynamically and analogue, but too THICK... Is there a way to reduce the density of the Rega? Another power supply? Thanks 😊

Hi Joey, cool records. Thank you for sharing. Have a wonderful one brother From Joey K

Hi Joey, from another Joey. Great video bro Thank you and have a wonderful one

Fono mm mk5 is really good value for the Price ! I actually find it warmer/ more enjoyable to listen to than the aria in mm 😇

Hi Joey luv your videos shopping for pre amp

I've always wondered why Rega TT's do not have GROUND wires attached to the Phono Pre-AMP.

Hi, looking forward to try ND07 on my "sleeper" Planar 25, which I have one of first ones ever produced. I have him more than 25 years. My P25 has used mainly Benz Micro Glyder SL and before Goldring mm 1042, both excellent cartridges. Now I have on P25 mc Goldring Elite. But this new ND07 will beat it I think. I have also Planar 9 2nd generation with mc Lyra Delos and Rega Ios as preamp. This sounds amazing. Very long, some 9 years I was using Rega Aria mk1 phono, amazing machine.😊

Rega produced a Jupiter CD player (inc DAC) prior to this transport only version. I have one and still performs well. It fed my Rega Pre/power combo (now replaced by Elex Mk4).

Hey Joey. I'm being told by a few folks the AT 740ML or 750SH are a better cart. What's your take mate?

i just got the p3/nd5. very nice. i set the table up per instructions and all seems to work well. wondering if you think it is worth having a "professional) set up the tone arm balance/anti skate to optimize all the bits. thx

I have thé Rega p3 with MP 110 yellow Nagaoka

I'm waiting for a P3/Nd5 to top off a system comprising - FonoMM5, Lehmann Audio Linear headphone pre amplifier (for HD 650's), Quad 303 power amp and Rega R3 loudspeakers. Fingers crossed it will sound ok.

Definitely agree the overall tone and presentation are more important than analytical details for enjoying the music. Which is why I’ve been hesitant to spend anymore money than an Exact on a cartridge. How do these ND5 and ND7 cartridges compare to the Exact? I’ve struggled finding any commentary directly comparing.

I like your love of analogue but you really need to study more and learn more about this great hobby and equity and music production in general

Music presentation vs. Sound presentation. In my experience gear that emphasizes sound stuff often mucks up the timing and dynamics. There is also an audio cult based around the perception/obsession with tonal accuracy.

Very interesting! For a p6, purely in term of sonic match, would you recommend an nd7, an Ania pro, or an apheta 3 ? Or even a nagaoka or a Hana SL ? 😁 System currently is Elex mk4 with Fono mm mk5 and focal aria 906 speaker but I might upgrade the phono stage if necessary or if I choose an mc.

Hello. Thanks for the video. Now I have an Ortofon 2m blue thinking about buying this Rega ND3. Would I notice a big difference, a big improvement of imaging and detail over the Ortofon?

Tip for you. Start by only attaching the front screw to the cartridge, temporarily twisting the cartridge clockwise (looking down). That will give you MUCH easier access to the back of the cartridge as you attach the leads. Then rotate the cartridge and install the two rear screws.

Cool video thinking about getting. P3

Sorry that was a drawn out nothing video. Why is the sound of this new nd7 that much better than an exact 2? Uh just trust me it is.

Nice review and comparison, thank you. I have a P6 with an Exact, using a Rega MM phono stage. Is the MM phono stage adequate, or would you suggest something else to use with the Rd7?

How would you compared the mojo 2 with the dac inside the Elex mk4 ? I tried it( and also the chord Qutest) but was not completely convinced ;) Maybe I should try a second hand rega dac-R ? Or is there an other dac you recommend?

How would it compare to the pro and the 2M black?

I own a pair a pair of Naos, and they are amazing, fast, dynamic with superb bass control.The TL design works really well, if you find a pair i'm sure you will enjoy them.

Hi Joey I`ve only this week realized that you have branched out on your own congratulations and all the best with your new venture,I have now subbed to your new channel so please keep up the Great videos!

Nella mia esperienza ho avuto modo si sentire per molti mesi la Exact sia su un P 8 che su un P 3 50, le differenze sono realmente minime, quindi fatico a capire come una Nd7 non possa andar bene su un P 3 50, fatico anche a capire come possiate fare delle prove con dei mini diffusori.. video comunque interessante grazie

Would the ND7 be a devent upgrade on a P3 with an Exact, or just a marginal gain....??

I'm really surprised too at their small size and footprint which should make them easy to place. The first use of three forward facing drivers was used later in the Xel (the Ela's big brother). Pairing the Aya's with a P6/Nd5 and an earlier Elicit would be an affordable dream system imho. Thanks for sharing.

Are you offering Rega interconnects and speaker cables in your new shop? Thanks

I am surprised how small they are unless you are a very big guy.

I look forward to hearing this on my P5 modified with Groovetracer and Mogami armcables. Haven't received it yet since I ordered it last week, but first batches of ND7 has arrived here in Norway. Now I am using Exact, that is musical and plays well, in my opinion.

Great video! -In your experience , is the nd7 a better tracker than the already very good exact ? (Better inner groove distortion,etc..) -How would you sonically compared the nd7 to the exact and Ania Pro also ? Thanks 😇

That ; kzbin.info/www/bejne/pafcgJSpjdRprtk would be a GREAT video, use an ND7 and review P3 to Naia all with the ND7 , that way you hear the actual differences each turntable brings.

Why would you put a MM cartridge on a P8??? Shurely that should be an MC cart????? It's a bit like putting budget tyres on your Ferrari!

I've got a 1985 Rega Planar 2 (I have owned from new) with RB250 arm and Rega Carbon cartridge. Excellent turntable, and amazing how Rega have worked on an already great design!

Great Review! How is the bass? Would I need a subwoofer? ...Thanks!

These look nearly identical to the 1990s Kytes but the kytes are front-ported. What diff does the port direction makes?

Ended up getting the Nd5 for our vintage Planar 2. Amazing cartridge, benefits alot from the P6 platter upgrade you showed off a few vids ago. Can’t imagine how great the Nd7 sounds

I look forward to hearing these new Rega MM's. I was a fan of the Exact though always thought the Elys and Bias were just ok. I generally prefer LO MC carts myself and it generally goes without saying that with LO MC's the quality of the phonostage becomes way more crtitical in terms of the final result.

I have an RP8 and looking to install the Nd7 on that. Have had the Exact for a couple of years, so time to change anyway. Thinking the Nd7 looks a bit "beefier" and higher? Do you think I can just install it or should the lever mechanism be adjusted, for instance? Hoping it just is "plug and play"...

put the wires in before fitting to head shell

Waiting for the nd7 review and comparaison with Ania pro and rega exact ;) greetings from France !

Joey...did you leave Dreamonoids?
