Rega Fono MM MK3 Phono Stage

The Fono MM is a moving magnet phono preamplifier, designed and engineered to enhance your vinyl signals to line level while retaining the integrity of the sound. The surface mount board layout features a new Rega design, which has also been optimised to work with today's generation of quality turntable models. The Fono MM 2017 has had an updated front chassis design to match the aesthetic of the 2017 Brio and most recent series of Rega hifi components.

The RIAA equalization has been split into two stages to help minimise interaction. Polyester capacitors have been used in the signal path and polypropylene capacitors are used in the RIAA equalization circuits.

The new MK3 Fono MM replaces the multi-award-winning MK2 model which won WHAT HI-FI? Best Phono stage in its price category 3 years running.
