New Rega Brio 2017


Hello All,

I am wondering if anyone has had hands-on experience with Rega's newly redesigned gizmo amplifier? I hear through channels that it's quite the eye opener. I've owned a few of the company's throughout time and currently own an Elex-R. Super overachiever. Please share any personal or field experiences you've been able to have so far. Thank you.

I am interested. Would you please let us know how you like the new Rega Brio? How it compares to the original Brio-r?

I don't have the Brio, but I do have a Rega Elicit-R integrated amp and Saturn-R CD/transport/DAC. Fantastic bit of kit IMHO. The build quality is outstanding, built like a solid aluminum brick. Sound is great too. Very smooth, with plenty of detail and the best bottom end I've heard in my system.

If this is indicative of the Rega house sound, I like it.....
I want to give it a try and get the new Brio-r with the Rega DAC. I feel it is gonna make my Opera Prima speakers sing, especially that l like the Rega dynamic and fast sound. Still thinking...


i purchased the new Brio and a pair of Rega RS1 speakers at the same time after hearing them at a show.  WOW, synergy in spades. very happy. this little amp can rock and do complex Classical choral works with aplomb.
I’m considering a Brio having read great things about it. There are some concerning reviews on Amazon about build quality and hum. I know that the prior Brio-R was susceptible to hum. Can anyone describe their experience with the new version?
