{"product_id":"kristin-needs-info-rega-fono-mc","title":"Rega Fono MC (MK4) — Moving Coil Phono Stage","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eRega builds the Fono MC around a fully discrete input stage using Linear Systems LSK389 FETs — not an op-amp, not a chip solution, a proper transistor circuit chosen for its noise characteristics at the signal levels an MC cartridge delivers. That matters at the input of a phono stage more than almost anywhere else in the signal chain, because MC output is measured in hundredths of a millivolt and whatever noise your phono stage adds at that point gets amplified alongside the signal. The Fono MC offers 63.5 or 69.5dB of gain — enough for low-output MCs without external step-up — with four selectable input impedance settings from 70 to 400 ohms to match the cartridge properly rather than accepting whatever the fixed-impedance unit you were using before was giving you. RIAA accuracy better than ±0.2dB from 100Hz to 100kHz. Input capacitance switchable between 1,000 and 4,300pF. A complete set of matching tools in a small, honest box at a price that doesn't require justification. Rega has been designing phono stages alongside their cartridges and turntables for decades — the Fono MC reflects that integration.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(253, 183, 22);\"\u003e$495 MSRP\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/h5\u003e","brand":"Rega","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46567317405833,"sku":"FONO MC-118712","price":350.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0680\/4557\/0185\/files\/fonomccopy3.png?v=1778218905","url":"https:\/\/echohifi.com\/products\/kristin-needs-info-rega-fono-mc","provider":"Echo Audio","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
