Rega Naim Linn IOS Reference MC Phono Stage MINT - NEW LOWER PRICE!

Rega IOS Moving Coil Reference Phono Stage. In mint condition from non-smoking household, original owner. Fantastic phono stage for the money with superb flexibility for loading and gain. Built like a tank! Major upgrade over the already very good for the money Rega Aria phono stage. 

If you own an Aria now this is an incredibly cool upgrade at my asking price for way less than the retail difference. 

Also if you are running a Rega P9, RP8 or RP10 turntable with any of the Rega MC cartridges (Apheta, Apheta2 and Aphelion) this is simply the best phono stage you can use!  
  
INFO :

The Rega Ios is a four stage, all symmetrical amplifier. The first stage uses a 1:10 step-up transformer which can be optimised to the cartridge by the selection of the correct loading and Zobel DC resistance correction network connected across the MC transformer secondary.

The second stage is a symmetrical, compound pair class A amplifier, using paralleled low noise Hitachi transistors in the input stage. This drives the passive high frequency part of the RIAA (Record Industry Association of America) equalization stage.

The third 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 fourth stage is the active filter. This configuration uses the same circuit as found in the second stage. The filter element uses a very high bandwidth operational amplifier.

The power supply is a symmetrical, discrete tracking power supply using fast diodes and a low noise voltage reference. Each stage has its own localised power supply and LED referenced current generators. 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. We hope that you enjoy this product as much as we have enjoyed creating it.
