Rega Fono MM Phono Amplifier
With such a rich history in analog, you could predict that Rega would design a serious, yet affordable phono section. Available in MM or MC, the Fono disk stage is designed to amplify the signal from a MC or a MM cartridge to a level which can feed into a 200mV line level input.
The Rega Fono is a high quality discrete component phono preamplifier. Two types are available for use with either MM or MC cartridges.
Like the Ear, the new Fono benefits from an all new extruded aluminium case and new styling giving it more of a family feel, to match its illustrious big brothers.
The Fono simply connects to the line input on the amplifier, and the tonearm leads and earth (if used) to the input socket and earth terminal of the Fono back panel.
Rega Fono Specifications:
Input sensitivity = 3mV for 200mV output
Input loading = 47KW in parallel with 100pF
Maximum input level = 100mV
Minimum output load impedance = 36.5dB
Power requirements = 24VAC @ 110mA (Rega PS1)
Frequency response (50KW load) = 17Hz (-3dB) to 100KHz (-0.2dB)
RIAA accuracy (50KW load) = +/-0.2dB 100Hz to 100KHz
Stereophile, Micheal Fremer
A $395 MC phono section has no right sounding this good.” “If your looking for a unit you can set and forget until you can spend much more, the Fono MC will do the job. Ditto for the $295 Fono for MM.” Oct. 2000
