Is the Rega Fono SS?



Do you know bajaed over on the Audiokarma forum? I got him a deal on a mmf-7.1 with the cart from my dealers. He is in town this weekend picking it up. When may meet up today or tomorrow at my dealers house to sit and talk audio before he goes back to Ohio. We I was at my dealers two days ago and he was breaking in the cart on bajaeds 7.1 before he picks it up, with this album that breaks in new carts, I ask if he would put on an Album so I can hear the Goldring 2400 cart that was on it. So he put on a Muddy Waters live album and man I could tell that cart was outstanding. But I think the system was a little overly warm for my taste. Not because of the cart, but because he had the entire Bel Canto system which is warm ss gear and he was using a Grado phono amp which is also warm toned. But I could still tell the cart is outstanding. Its not totally off my list. In fact with the 7.1 the 2M Red at times with certain artist seem a little to bright ...but the Black is suppose to be a little more pleasant in that regard.

Have you purchased the Dynavector yet? Which one are you getting? Dont know what you are paying but my dealer is able to sell cheaper because he closed his brick building and sells now out of his house. He will sell me a Black for almost $200 cheaper than retail. IF you want I can see what he will sell on for and then I can put you in contact with him and you two can make the transaction. Let me know.

The Rega Fono is nothing much, as far as I know. It's a budget SS model. I just figure if I pick one up for under $200 on the used market, I could maybe try it out on the wife's Debut III/Kenwood Basic setup. And if it's not better than the phono stage of the Basic C2 I'd sell it. But it was just a fleeting thought...nothing related to trying to achieve what you're aiming for.

I've responded to bajaed's threads and even traded PM's with him. Seems like a great guy. He asked for opinions on the mmf-7.1, among others. I plan to keep watching for his threads. Naturally I like the AK threads that get into modern affordable turntables, instead of the 1960s/1970s models.

The Dynavector is a 10X4. It's in the queue for a re-tip. Thanks for offering to hook me up.

I'm sort of curious about the 2400 since I had a 2200 and liked it. When I sold my mmf-5 I included the 2200 and then bought the 1042. I'm happy with the 1042, but I sort of wish I hadn't let go of the 2200. The buyer is an AKer who has already ditched the mmf-5 for a Rega P1. Very odd.

Hey if you needed anything my dealer sells...check with me or him to see if its cheaper than the price you are quoted. He usually is...I will PM you his site so you can take a look at what he offers....he also has some stuff thats not on his site.

Yeah thats strange to ditch a MMF 5 for a P1....Is it the same guy who at one time owned the clearaudio concept ? If it is thats a really nice guy who has been through a lot of gear.

Thanks for the tip on your dealer. I think it was Art K. who had the Concept and now has a P1. I think he had some problems with the Concept but I don't know why he sold it. At one time, he had a P3-24...don't know the story on that one, either...or that Rega Saturn he sold. He does do some gear-changing.

I sort of felt bad about the guy who bought my mmf-5. He had just sold a P3-24 and was downgrading his gear to raise money for expenses, not other gear...and then he apparently didn't like it. I tried to help him set it up and even offered to swap him an Ortofon OM for the Goldring to see if a lighter cartridge would track better. The tracking seemed to be giving him problems.

Trying out some other camera angles...

That arm looks very detailed in craftsmanship...Whats it like? I hear nothing but good things about that arm...and see alot of TT manufactures use the Rega arms as well.

noob im not even in your ball park when it comes to turntables, but I must say I really love the sound coming from this thing. Back in the 70's and 80's if I had a deck that sounded like this, I would have never sold my TT and albums.

This thing is supper quite in the back ground, has very good bass and tracks very good. The 2.1 was a tease...this things the real deal. And that old 2M Red sounds like a champ sept for a few cuts where the cymbals ring out. Im sure the black or Bronze will take care of that.
