Rega Record Player Needles

Rega sells its decks with several of its own cartridges, so check which one yours has. The Planar 1, Planar 1 Plus and Planar 2 with the Rega Carbon cartridge take the Rega Carbon Stylus.

The Nd range is different. The needle on the Nd3, Nd5, Nd7 and Nd9 cannot be replaced on its own: Rega dealers exchange the worn cartridge for a rebuilt one at a reduced price. Many Planar decks are also sold without a cartridge.
