REGA FONO MM MK5 Phono Stage

The Fono MM phono stage has been designed to be effective, easy to use,
and above all, to reproduce music. The Fono MM uses a fully discrete,
cascaded, complementary amplifier input stage, a configuration designed
to optimise the performance of your moving magnet cartridge. Now housed
in a brand new redesigned case to match the new Fono MC and Rega’s
latest range of electronic components offering a modern and sleek look
guaranteed to integrate in to any hi-fi system.
The aesthetic design of the Fono MM was as important as the quality of
its electrical capabilities, so it benefits from the same aluminium case
as the Rega Neo and Fono MC amplifier, giving it a design which offers a
familiar feel and moreover brings it in line with its illustrious
bigger brothers. The RIAA equalization has been split into two stages to
minimise interaction. Polyester capacitors have been used in the signal
path and polypropylene capacitors are used in the RIAA equalization
circuits.
