Rega Fono MM

Phono

The new 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 optimize the performance of your moving magnet cartridge. Now housed in a brand new redesigned case to match the new Fono MC and Regas latest range of electronic components offering a modern and sleek look guaranteed to integrate in to any hi-fi system.

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.


The aesthetic design of the Fono MM was as important as the quality of its electrical capabilities, so it benefits from the same aluminum case as the Rega TTPSU and Fono MC amplifier, giving it a design which offers a familiar feel and moreover brings it in line with its illustrious bigger brothers.
