Rega Fono MM Mk5
What Hi-Fi UK
|October 2023
A new look coupled with the same class-leading performance
-
Phono stage £220 whf.cm/FonoMM5
Rega's Fono MM has been our go-to recommendation for an affordable phono stage for more years than we care to remember. It is about as minimalist as such things get at this level, being a moving-magnet-only design with just the basic input and output connections.
The company clearly doesn't want to spoil a winning recipe, so the revisions for this new Mk5 version amount to a change of casework to match some of the brand's newer products and... well that's it. The internals have remained unchanged from the last generation, but given that it was a clear class leader maybe that is not such a bad thing.
Respectable levels
A gain of just over 41dB is more than enough for any price-compatible moving-magnet cartridge. And provided the Fono is placed with a bit of care, hum and other noise levels are respectably low.

Luxman E-07
Ask us to talk about some of our favourite high-end phono stages of all time, and it wouldn't be long before Luxman's excellent valve-based EQ-500 is mentioned. What Hi-Fi? tested this immaculately engineered unit back in 2017, and it made such an impression that we used it in our reference system for a while.
