Rega Phono stage

[nbaptista]

Hélio,
I'm buying a Rega turntable, só I need a phono amplifier.I wonder if the fono mini would be just fine or the fono mm is the way to go? The turntable might bê the rp1.

Well, the Fono MM is better than the Mini but it depends how far you want to go.

but it depends how far you want to go.

Well, I´m buying the RP1. Later I might have plans to trade it for a Planar 3...

[hifi_dave]

In that case, I would recommend you go with the Fono MM.

If you don't want to spend much money the Rega mini A2D is very good and has good magazine reviews.

It also is very good at allowing you to 'RIP' lp's to digital via usb.

I bought one to do just this and use a very good and cheap program called Vinyl Studio which searches for meta data and inserts it into the ripped files.

If you are interested in ripping lp's drop me a message and I'll give you some help on how to do it.

I can also let you have a coupe of ripped files processed via the mini so you can hear the quality.

Pity you live so far away as I could let you have the mini at a good price (I have now moved on to using a Furutech ADL GT40a as I needed some other functionality like headphone amp, etc)

Yes, indeed, the Fono Mini seems good value.

Not to hijack, but I’m try to verify if there is a difference between the MM stage in the Aria compared to the MM fono mkIII?
