Rega A2D Mini Fono - Phonostage

We have had a lot of success with the little Rega Mini Fono recently. At £89 it would seem like it is aimed just at the 'get you going' end of the market ... but actually this is quite a capable unit and is basically the same as the internal circuit used in the Rega Mira amplifier.

In typical Rega fashion, it performs way above it's price point ....

To keep things simple, the A2D is MM only and as you can see from the picture, if you use the screw heads for a scale reference, quite tiny.

Fairly straightforward 'in' and 'out' sockets and the A2D comes with an external power supply

The front panel has a USB socket .. which relates to the other feature of the Rega hinted at by the A2D designation.... you can also connect this unit up to a computer and record directly to the hard drive from your record player.

Cut and pasted below .. Regas explanation of how to do this :

To transfer vinyl to your PC You will need to install a digital audio editor. Such software is widely available as a free download (such as Audacity) from the internet. This is a simple interface which allows monitoring of volume and balance whilst transferring your audio to your PC hard drive.

Audio editing software includes a level meter which indicates the output level achieved when playing a piece of vinyl. You should adjust the output as necessary via the ‘Level’ control located on the front panel. Always take special note of record levels to ensure optimum recording quality.
