Why it belongs here

A confident final check before the cart.

Winner of the What HiFi? Awards 2018 The Rega Fono MC is a premium MC phono stage designed to maximise the performance of any moving coil cartridge. It features full loading adjustability via rear dip switches and two gain settings, ensuring compatibility with most low output MC cartridges, including the latest Rega moving coils. Key Features High-quality MC phono stage optimised for moving coil cartridges Adjustable loading resistance and capacitance via rear dip switches Two selectable gain settings for versatile cartridge compatibility Low noise Linear Systems LSK389 FET input stage for superior linearity MUSE operational amplifier used in the RIAA equalisation circuit Polypropylene capacitors in signal path and RIAA circuits for enhanced audio fidelity Robust aluminium case matching Rega TTPSU and Fono MM amplifier aesthetics Derived from design work on the acclaimed Rega Aria phono amplifier Specifications Output impedance: 200 Ω Recommended minimum output load resistance: 5 kΩ Frequency response (50 kΩ output load): 13 Hz (-3 dB) to 100 kHz (-0.3 dB) RIAA accuracy (50 kΩ output load): Better than ±0.2 dB from 100 Hz to 100 kHz Power requirements: 24 V AC at 150 mA maximum (only to be used with Rega PS1) Input sensitivity for 200 mV output: 133 µV (dip switch 4 off), 67 µV (dip switch 4 on) Input loading resistance: 400 Ω (dip switches 1 and 2 off) 100 Ω (dip switch 1 on) 150 Ω (dip switch 2 on) 70 Ω (dip switches 1 and 2 on) Input loading capacitance: 1000 pF (dip switch 3 off), 4300 pF (dip switch 3 on) Gain at 1 kHz: 63.5 dB (dip switch 4 off), 69.5 dB (dip switch 4 on) Maximum input level at 1 kHz: 6.7 mV (dip switch 4 off), 3.4 mV (dip switch 4 on) Load settings for adjustable MC stages: Impedance: 100 Ω Capacitance: 1000 pF Gain setting: High ("On" position for Rega phono stages)
