Rega Aura Reference Moving Coil Phono Stage

Rega Aura Reference Moving Coil Phonostage

The reference Aura MC stage is the culmination of decades of electronic design development by Rega. They have created the ultimate, fully adjustable, three-stage, all-symmetrical pre-amplifier designed purely to extract the very highest quality performance from your moving coil cartridge and vinyl playback system. Built into a completely re-designed custom case, the Aura is dedicated to moving coil cartridges and stays clear of any compromises. We have avoided including any superfluous functions as they obstruct the signal path and degrade the sound quality. The Aura phono pre-amp incorporates remarkable and innovative design ideas.

First stage

The first stage is a symmetrical, complementary class A amplifier, using parallel connected Linear Systems ultra-low noise FET (Field Effect Transistor) transistors configured as a symmetrical compound pair input stage. The use of FET transistors ensures there is no bias current flowing in the cartridge coil so as not to upset the delicate magnetic geometry of the cartridge. The input circuit configuration also alleviates the use of any coupling components between the cartridge output and the input stage FET transistors, which would degrade the sound. The complementary ultra-low noise FET transistors are carefully graded and matched for optimum performance. This stage drives the passive high-frequency part of the RIAA equalisation stage.

Second stage

The Aura combines Rega's incredible engineering and attention to detail to create its highest-end phono stage to date. The Aura offers an astonishing level of detail and balance that makes it a phono stage that you have to hear to be believed.
