Rega Fono MM MK5 High Quality Phono Preamplifier

FONO MM MK5

The Fono MM MK5 phono stage has been designed to be
effective, easy to use and above all, to reproduce music. The Fono MM MK5 uses
a fully discrete, cascaded, complementary amplifier input stage, a
configuration designed to optimize 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 look
guaranteed to integrate in to any hi-fi system.

The perfect partner

The aesthetic design of the Fono MM was as important as the
quality of its electrical capabilities, so it benefits from the same updated aluminum
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 minimize
interaction. Polyester capacitors have been used in the signal path and
polypropylene capacitors are used in the RIAA equalization circuits.
