Product Summary
This pre-owned Rega Aria MK2 phono stage is in great condition and offers a serious upgrade for vinyl listeners using either moving magnet or moving coil cartridges. It is ideal for customers who want a dedicated, high-quality phono stage rather than relying on the phono input built into an amplifier.
The Aria MK2 is an all-analogue phono pre-amplifier with separate dedicated circuits for MM and MC cartridges. Rather than using a single compromised circuit for both cartridge types, Rega designed the Aria with independent input stages, allowing each cartridge type to be treated properly for lower noise, better matching and more accurate vinyl playback.
For moving coil users, the Aria MK2 offers adjustable loading and gain settings, helping it work well with a wide range of low-output MC cartridges. Moving magnet users also benefit from a clean, carefully designed MM stage, making the Aria MK2 a flexible choice for turntable owners who may change or upgrade cartridges over time.
This unit does not include its original box or accessories, but it will be packed securely in alternative packaging and supplied with a mains cable.
