About the Fono MM MK5
The Rega Fono MM MK5 phono stage is engineered to optimize the performance of moving magnet cartridges with a fully discrete, cascaded, complementary amplifier input stage. It is housed in a redesigned aluminium case that matches Rega's latest electronic components, offering a modern aesthetic. The RIAA equalization is split into two stages to minimize interaction, using polyester capacitors in the signal path and polypropylene capacitors in the RIAA circuits. It has won multiple What Hi-Fi? awards for best phonostage under €300, praised for its musicality, detail resolution, and balanced sound. The unit is simple to connect and operate, making it an excellent addition to any vinyl-based hi-fi system.
