Rega Fono MM MK3 Phono Stage Black

Product Information

It uses high-quality capacitors of Panasonic and TDK to enable precise clarity and low distortion. Its distinct low-noise power supply produces noise as low as -151dBV hence, offering a solid preamplification. Performance I began with a vinyl version of Nancy Wilson’s You’ve Got Your Troubles from the original Capitol/EMI pressing of A Touch of Today (1966). This album features a measure of compression so, while there’s plenty of detail on offer, the upper mids are pushed to the edge. This means that any hi-fi product that’s not perfectly neutral will push this recording into the bright zone and you’ll know about it pretty pronto. Rega Fono MM Mk5 review What Hi-Fi?

wrote:The Rega Fono has 100 pF/47 kOhm and with cable it should be around 200 pF, which should be ok for the Ortofon. The resistance could be lowered a bit to tame the peaking 10-20 kHz but basically it should sound ok with that loading. We love the scale of performance and the way the Vertere delivers the seismic dynamic shifts of the recording with so much enthusiasm. As with the previous generation (also an Award-winner), our main takeaway after hearing this phono stage is that it makes listening to music interesting and, where appropriate, fun. There’s not much we can ask of any piece of hi-fi beyond that.Well this is certainly a looker. With an offset volume dial, minimalist styling and mirrored rear labelling that's easy to read even if you're peering over the top of the unit, it's clear a lot of thought has gone into the Cambridge Audio Duo phono stage. And no less attention has been paid to the audio quality. A phono preamp, phono stage, or turntable preamp is an audio element for amplifying the signal from a turntable. This way, you can easily connect it to a modern sound system like an MP3 or CD player.

Hi Dan – there is no difference, that was my point. We’re talking semantics. I think the term ‘phono preamplifier’ is confusing and you’re making my point for me on that score 🙂 Rega has once again succeeded in all it set out to do. That Award-winning sound of the MK2 oozes through our speakers, yet with the lowered noise floor offering more clarity and expanding the horizons of its dynamic range. We could have stopped there, taken it to the photography studio and trotted off to write this review. Rega Fono MM MK3: Delicate confidence Meanwhile more energetic offerings are engaged with that similarly trademark Rega punch and enthusiasm. Presented with such recordings, the Rega shows off a fine sense of rhythm and a confidence to be precise without being regimental, letting dynamics drive the percussion as much as having a firm grip on timing. When buying a phono stage, a compact and lightweight choice is ideal. There’s little to no space next to the turntable; hence, a tiny preamp would fit easily. Now available in an upgraded MKII version with a better looking cabinet. The design of the cabinet was probably the only thing that could be held against the original version.

Remember always to maintain a strong signal level above the noise level, to get high-quality and clear audio. Generally, avoid buying a phono preamp with a low SNR. Total Harmonic Distortion You know you are on pfm when you ask about an affordable quality phono stage and someone tells you that you should really have an LP12. Presumably, the Naim forum is all about pushing Solstice all year round, nowadays. The Phono Signature on its own sounds refined and smooth with plenty of bite when required, but adding the updated PSX-R2 power supply takes sound quality to another plane altogether. The scale is even bigger, bass gains more authority, and the precise positions of the performers and instruments in the beautifully layered sound stage are laid bare. The insightful delivery squeezes the very last drop of emotion from a recording. I have an Ortofon Bronze MM that's almost broken in.... I was reading that the Rega will reduce the "brightness" of the bronze however I've been noticing

b) To delete old conversations use the ‘Leave conversation’ option. This is just delete by another name. This is where the phono stage (or phono preamp) comes in. It has two jobs. Firstly, it has the reverse response built into it – one that boosts bass and flattens treble to exactly the right degree, which should result in a tonally even presentation for the audio signal. immensely from the space offered to each line, allowing a sea of reverb to lap against the shore, while a taut but generous serving of bottom end offers solidity to Scott Hutchison’s vocal, even in falsetto.
