Balanced transmissions consist of a hot and a cold (also called + and -) signal. Both signal chains effectively carry the same musical information.

And the best of all: any Pro-Ject turntable with RCA, miniXLR or 5P outputs can do it!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"subhead\"\u003eFULLY DISCRETE AND SYMMETRICAL GAIN STAGE\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe new Phono Box S3 B gain stage uses a fully discrete layout. A discrete circuit is composed of disparate electronic components, and individual devices. The amplifier section is built of single parts and doesn‘t use any integrated circuits! That makes for an extended and more costly design process but results in the best sound quality. The fully symmetrical gain stage can optimize the signal-to-noise ratios, feeding the semi-passive, RIAA equalisation stage with a clean signal to work on.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"subhead\"\u003eTRUE BALANCED CONNECTION\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe symmetrical design is the fundamental standout feature! Connect your turntable via the 5-pin mini XLR cable and enjoy the benefits of a balanced signal path. A truly balanced gain stage can extract the final musical information, effectively filtering out any noise from interferences stemming from our noisy, modern homes (household appliances, wifi \u0026amp; Bluetooth, power cables, audio amplifiers).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Pro-Ject","offers":[{"title":"Black","offer_id":41288806694996,"sku":"PRO:PHONOBOX-S3B-BLK","price":499.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Silver","offer_id":41288806727764,"sku":"PRO:PHONOBOX-S3B-SLV","price":499.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0572\/3281\/8260\/files\/layer_1_170.jpg?v=1718141002"},{"product_id":"mofi-masterphono-preamlifier-black","title":"MoFi MasterPhono Phonostage","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"col_narrow\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"subhead margin\"\u003eLimited Time Master Collection Promo: July 7th to December 31st!\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePurchase a MoFi Electronics MasterPhono phonostage between July 7th and December 31st to receive Mofi's MasterCollection #2 for FREE!

They’re one of the best turntable manufacturers in the world. We’ve written extensively about their entire Planar lineup, from their entry-level Planar 1 to the gorgeous Planar 6 and beyond.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThey also make great tonearms and turntable cartridges. What you may not know, however, is that they also make a number of great audio components and even speakers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe love the Rega Brio, which is an incredible integrated amplifier. Today we’ll be reviewing a standalone phono preamp from Rega, known as the Rega Fono. It’s made for low output moving coil cartridges. Of course, they would love for you to use it with their own MC cartridges, and we highly recommend them, but they’re extremely flexible and will perform well with a wide range of moving coil cartridges.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"hp-title\"\u003eDesign \u0026amp; Build Quality\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Fono has the same look as many of Rega’s other electronics. It comes in a black aluminum box -- smaller width-wise than a standard audio component. Other than lights, the silver power button is the only thing on the faceplate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe like the fact that Rega keeps things simple. By reusing basic aluminum boxes for their components, they can save cost and put the money into the audio performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe rear panel includes two sets of dip switches, a solid pair of RCA inputs and outputs, instructions for the dip switches, and a ground connection for non-Rega turntables. Finally, there is an input for the 24v external DC power supply.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you pop the cover off, you get a better sense of where Rega invested. The build quality is impeccable and every internal component is top-notch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col_narrow\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"hp-title\"\u003eFeatures \u0026amp; Technology\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 2016, Rega introduced their Aria phono stage. The Aria is capable of working with both moving coil and moving magnet type cartridges. It quickly won a number of rewards from the British press for its high-level audio performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen Rega designed the Aria, they spent a lot of R\u0026amp;D time looking at new components that could offer a lower noise floor than anything they had used in the past. This is very important for a phono preamp, particularly when you are dealing with a moving coil cartridge, which has a very low signal level. Any noise that might come into the signal path could potentially mask those tiny details in the music that make your records sound more like a live performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Rega Fono MC benefits from what Rega learned in the much more expensive Aria, and its circuitry is very similar. To accomplish such a low noise floor, Rega uses a FET (field effect transistor) from a company called Linear Systems. They are a 30-year-old Silicon Valley company specializing in high-end components for the audio and medical business. A FET like this one has a very high input impedance, so the tiny coils in your moving coil cartridge will effectively “not see” the FET as any type of additional load.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe RIAA section of the Fono MC uses a MUSES series op amp from a Japanese company called New Japan Radio. These are known around the world for audio purity and are found in uber high-end audio components all over the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFeature-wise, the Fono MC has about everything you would want in a phono preamp. While its adjustability is not quite up to our reference Sutherland Audio products, it gives you a lot more than most phono stages in this category.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA moving coil cartridge is somewhat like a work of art in that there are no real standards. Each designer comes up with what they think performs best. The way they design those tiny windings of the coils works best if the cartridge electrically sees a pretty specific type of load. If you load one incorrectly, the difference is dramatic. For instance, if you have a cartridge that wants to see a 400-ohm load and you set the load at 100, it will literally sound like you have thrown a thick blanket over your speakers. It’s that much of a difference.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBy using different combinations of the dip switches on the back of the Fono MC (you have a selection of 70, 100, 150, and 400), it can work with 90% of all the MC cartridges on the market.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMoving coils also vary in the output. The Fono MC gives you what is basically a high or low gain setting -- either 63.5 or 69.5 dB of gain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRega also gives you adjustable capacitance, which is not something you see in a lot of moving coil phono preamps. You have a choice of 1000pF or 4700pF. For those of you picking up one of these to work with your new Rega Ania (or any Rega MC), you set it up for 1000pF, 100 ohms, and the higher 69.5 gain setting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe do have one small gripe about these dip switches. When you look at the back panel, they are labeled left and right. At first, you may think that this means the left and right channels. It’s actually referring to the left and right side of the switches.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen you consider the modest price of the Rega Fono MC, it has a ton of great tech for its sub $500 price tag.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col_narrow\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"hp-title\"\u003ePerformance\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe tested the Fono MC with a Rega P6 and Ania cartridge. To complete the Rega circle, we used an Aux input on the Rega Brio integrated amp and a pair of the new Elac Adante bookshelf speakers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis combination was just stunning. The Fono MC provided plenty of gain for the low output Ania with virtually no background noise. Bass notes reach very deep while the presentation of the treble and midrange is very smooth, yet you hear all kinds of tiny details in the upper end -- a trait most great moving coil cartridges have.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"hp-title\"\u003eOverall Recommendation\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you are considering a Rega Ania Cartridge for your turntable (probably the P3 or P6), the Fono MC is a perfect match. If you are one of those people who likes to play around with different cartridges, you might be better served with something like a Sutherland that offers more adjustability, but for the Ania, this little jewel is a real winner!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Rega","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41289278062676,"sku":"REGA:FONOMC-MK4","price":550.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0572\/3281\/8260\/files\/layer_1_157.jpg?v=1718142580"},{"product_id":"nad-pp-2i-phono-preamplifier","title":"NAD PP 2e Phono Preamp","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe PP 2e Phono Preamplifier offers superb performance in a clean and simple package.

By focusing almost exclusively on phono preamps, our design and circuitry has benefited from continued refinement and improvement over the years. All of those designs were based upon voltage amplification. The cartridge delivers a small voltage to the phono preamp input. This voltage is then multiplied to create a larger output voltage (along with RIAA EQ). A typical voltage multiplier of 1,000 can also be expressed as 60 dB.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou may have also noticed a new kind of phono preamp design— usually referred to as ‘current input’.

I.e. the input signal is current and the output signal is voltage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLinking into your System\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe connections on the back panel of the little LOCO appear totally conventional. There is the usual IEC input for the power cord, a ground screw for grounding the turntable, and two RCA jacks for the input signal from the turntable. Finally, two RCA jacks deliver an output signal to your line-level preamp. There is, however, a requirement that both coil connections float with respect to ground. Turntable grounds and cable shields need to go to a separate ground wire.

I.e. higher output voltages usually have higher resistance while lower output voltages usually have lower resistance. Into a virtual short, most deliver about the same current signal. If your particular situation would benefit from a gain adjustment, you can change it. Inside, on the red circuit boards, you will see a place for gain setting resistors. The little LOCO ships with 3k resistors installed for medium gain. You can boost the output voltage 6dB by removing those resistors.

The first stage is a symmetrical, complementary class A amplifier, using parallel connected Linear Systems ultra-low noise FET (Field Effect Transistor) transistors configured as a symmetrical compound pair input stage. The use of FET transistors ensures there is no bias current flowing in the cartridge coil so as not to upset the delicate magnetic geometry of the cartridge. The input circuit configuration also alleviates the use of any coupling components between the cartridge output and the input stage FET transistors, which would degrade the sound. The complementary ultra-low noise FET transistors are carefully graded and matched for optimum performance. This stage drives the passive high frequency part of the RIAA equalization stage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe second stage is a symmetrical, class A, differential amplifier with a common base driver stage; this is also used as the active amplifier in the low frequency part of the RIAA equalisation stage. The third stage inverts the signal to provide the balanced output along with the output of the second stage; the third stage uses the same circuit topology as used in the second stage. The power supply is a symmetrical, discrete tracking power supply using fast diodes and a low noise voltage reference. Each stage has its own localized power supply and LED referenced current generators. To maximize headroom, the Aura has a power supply voltage, which is 60% higher than normally found in such a pre-amplifier. Very high quality, polypropylene capacitors have been used in the signal path. 1% tolerance polypropylene capacitors are used in the RIAA EQ stages and audio grade capacitors are used in the rest of the circuit.

The balanced output is effectively 6 dB higher than the unbalanced output. It is advisable to start with the lower gain setting II and if necessary, increase the gain level to I if more level is required for lower output cartridges. Because the balanced output is effectively 6 dB higher, it could be advisable to select gain II setting when using the balanced output; this will also depend greatly on the sensitivity of the connected amplifier.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCapacitance\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThere are five different input capacitance settings of 1000 pF, 2000 pF, 3200 pF, 4300 pF \u0026amp; 5700 pF.

Inside, on the red circuit board, you will see moveable shunts for gain setting. From the factory, they are set to MED GAIN. You can boost the output voltage by 6dB when the shunts are moved to HIGH GAIN. You can reduce the output voltage by 6dB when the shunts are moved to LOW GAIN.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWARNING\u003c\/strong\u003e: The TZ VIBE uses an external power supply with an unusually high output voltage.
