Listing this Rega Nd3 (MM) as “new” for €229 EUR makes it a standout bargain in the used market, where the median asking price for comparable items is €565 EUR and the 25th percentile sits at €550 EUR. At €229 EUR, the price is well below even the lowest typical used listing, marking this as a strong deal for anyone wanting a fresh, factory-condition cartridge without paying retail markup.
The Nd3 is a well-regarded moving-magnet cartridge praised for its elliptical stylus and innovations that deliver clear, detailed sound ideal for mid-weight arms like those on the Planar 3. Buying new at €229 EUR—its official retail price—means you get original-owner condition, full warranty coverage, and no wear concerns, turning this into a rare buying opportunity for a top-value MM that usually commands far higher on the used market.

Rega Research, founded in 1973 in Essex, England, by Roy Gandy and Tony Relph, emerged from Gandy's lifelong passion for vinyl playback. A Ford engineer and music enthusiast, Gandy built his first turntable, the Planet, in his spare time, blending the founders' surnames to create the Rega name. From humble beginnings in a derelict mill, the company quickly gained traction with early models like the Planar 2 and Planar 3, establishing its heritage as a British hi-fi pioneer dedicated to precision engineering and hand-assembly.
Rega specializes in turntables and tonearms, its cornerstone products, but has expanded into a full ecosystem including cartridges, integrated amplifiers like the Elicit and Brio, phono stages such as the Fono, and speakers like the Ela series. While early efforts included loudspeakers and electronics from the 1980s onward, the brand prioritizes vinyl-centric components over headphones, DACs, or cables, all designed in-house for musical fidelity using specialist materials and tight tolerances.
Rega holds a revered position in the high-end hi-fi market as a niche boutique icon, prized by audiophiles for affordable, lifetime-quality performance that emphasizes music over gimmicks. Globally exported to over 50 countries from its Essex facility employing more than 150, it remains a symbol of British ingenuity, with turntables like the Planar series securing enduring loyalty among vinyl revivalists.
