Description
The Fono MC has been designed to be effective easy to use and above all to reproduce music. The Fono MC uses the Linear Systems low noise LSK389 FET in an all discrete input stage where low noise and linearity are vitally important to get the best from an MC cartridge. Because of the high input impedance of FET the loading effects of the amplifier circuit are minuscule and do not affect the performance of the cartridge.A MUSE operational amplifier is used in the RIAA equalization amplifier. Polypropylene capacitors have been used in the signal path and in the RIAA equalization circuits. There is selectable input loading for both resistance and capacitance along with two different gain settings located on the back panel making the Fono MC compatible with most low output MC cartridges.The aesthetic design of the Fono MC was as important as the quality of its electrical capabilities so it benefits from the same aluminum case as the Rega TTPSU and Fono MM amplifier giving it a design which offers a familiar feel and moreover brings it in line with its illustrious bigger brothers. The new Fono MC circuit resulted from the design work carried out on the Aria phono amplifier.What's in the Box:Fono Moving Coil Phono StageSpecificationsOutput impedance: 200ΩRecommended minimum output load resistance: 5KFrequency response (50KΩ output load): 13Hz (-3dB) to 100KHz (-0.3dB)RIAA accuracy (50KΩ output load): Better than +/-0.2dB 100Hz to 100KHzPower requirements: 24V AC at 150mA maximum.

Product review & video
I on tonfa and frank Kalevala excellence today we're going to have a talk about the raid on ONC which is just come out and this would be an ideal partner for the brand-new planar 6 or planar 3 with a movie called cartridge but it could also be used with any other manufacturers of turntable or cartridge that is moving coil and so this is an exceptionally high quality photo staged for the money and it's designed with maximization of any moving coil cartridge in mind it does this for the various settings on the rear there's a number of different dip switches for impedance and gain and it will match up with pretty much any low gain moving coil cartridge because of this the way it works it uses a linear systems low noise discrete input stage and this is key for not reproducing and good quality music from any moving call cartridge really and it will help to get the best from that and I think
