Rega has created the ultimate, fully adjustable, three stage, all symmetrical pre-amplifier designed purely to extract the very best performance from your moving coil cartridge and vinyl playback system.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\"\u003eBuilt into a completely re-designed custom case, the Aura is dedicated to moving coil cartridges and stays clear of any compromises. Rega has 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. If you are a vinyl connoisseur, then the Aura MC is an absolute must for demonstration.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Rega Aura is a three stage, all symmetrical pre-amplifier. 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 equalization stage.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe second stage is a symmetrical, class A, differential amplifier with a common base driver stage; this is also used as the active amplifier in the low frequency part of the RIAA equalization stage. The third stage inverts the signal to provide the balanced output along with the output of the second stage; the third stage uses the same circuit topology as used in the second stage. The power supply is a symmetrical, discrete tracking power supply using fast diodes and a low noise voltage reference. Each stage has its own localized power supply and LED referenced current generators. To maximize headroom, the Aura has a power supply voltage, which is 60% higher than normally found in such a pre-amplifier. Very high quality, polypropylene capacitors have been used in the signal path. 1% tolerance polypropylene capacitors are used in the RIAA EQ stages and audio grade capacitors are used in the rest of the circuit. Gain, Mute and Mono switching is implemented using high quality relays.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGain\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\"\u003ePlease note: mute or turn the volume control to minimum when changing the gain setting. The gain setting switch selects the voltage gain of the phono amplifier. Gain I selects 69.5 dB (switch out) and Gain II selects 63.5 dB (switch in); this will provide an input sensitivity of 67 μV and 131 μV respectively for an output level of 200 mV unbalanced and 400 mV balanced. The balanced output is effectively 6 dB higher than the unbalanced output. It is advisable to start with the lower gain setting II and if necessary, increase the gain level to I if more level is required for lower output cartridges. Because the balanced output is effectively 6 dB higher, it could be advisable to select gain II setting when using the balanced output; this will also depend greatly on the sensitivity of the connected amplifier\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCapacitance\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\"\u003eThere are five different input capacitance settings of 1000 pF, 2000 pF, 3200 pF, 4300 pF \u0026amp; 5700 pF.
