The new Rega FONO MK5 MM phono stage has been designed to be effective, easy to use, and above all, to reproduce music
The Rega FONO MK5 MM uses a fully discrete, cascaded, complementary amplifier input stage, a configuration designed to optimise the performance of your moving magnet cartridge.
The RIAA equalization has been split into two stages to minimise 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 MK5 MM was as important as the quality of its electrical capabilities, so it benefits from the same aluminium case as the NEW Rega TTPSU and NEW FONO MK4 MC amplifier, giving it a design which offers a familiar feel and moreover brings it in line with its illustrious bigger brothers.
Input sensitivity = 1.7mV for 200mV output, Input loading = 47KΩ in parallel with 100pF, Maximum input level = 60mV at 1KHz, Recommended minimum output load resistance = 5KΩ

What Hi-Fi? Award winner 2017/2018/2019/2020/2021

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 in to any hi-fi system.

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

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.

I have a Marantz Cinema 40 AVR, and I was using the built-in MM phone stage for my Rega Planar 6 turntable into a separate amplifier. The sound quality was not as good as expected. I switched over to using the Rega MK5 phono stage and there was a huge improvement in sound quality. The MK5 is the same size as the PSU and looks good placed on top of it (see my photo). I then added high quality interconnects (AudioQuest Waters) between the MK5 and the AVR, and the AVR to the amplifier, which further improved the sound, so don't forget to use good quality interconnects. I still have a little fine tuning to do, but the Rega MK5 was an essential first step and it has my recommendation.

Picks up interference really easily. I have a $4k Linn Sondek and has a little improvement, but can get more improvement elsewhere for the same money. Front plate is very very distorted
