The High Notes

Perfect Match for Rega MM’s

The Rega team designed the Fono MM to be the ideal match for their line of moving magnet cartridges most people use on their Rega turntables.

A Best of Winner Times Over

Now in its fifth revision, this classic model has been voted best in class every year since 2014 when the first version came out.

Great Rega Circuitry

The Fono MM, like all Rega electronics, has gone through rigorous listening tests to determine the best signal design and component selection. You’ll get that classic Rega musical sound with the Fono MM.

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 into any hi-fi system.

Major Upgrade!

We had been using a Music Hall Mini preamp prior to the purchase of the Rega Fono MM Phono preamp. It seemed fine, but then we got the Rega Planar 3 and became a little concerned that our existing preamp was essentially bottlenecking the quality of the music early in the process. This preamp works perfectly with our new turntable and with our Sonos Amp. Because the preamp greatly improves the signal received by the Sonos Amp, the quality of sound from our records has been improved on both our wired and wireless speakers. It's awesome! This seems like an absolutely necessary upgrade to let our music stretch its legs and to allow all of our devices to be used to their full potential.
