Rega Elicit-R


I need help... I have a Rega Elicit-R that is shutting down periodically. It is getting hotter on the left side. My understanding is that an adjustment of the bias will solve this issue.

so, does anybody have a service manual for the Rega Elicit-R? If not, has anybody changed the bias and knows the values?

Take it in to qualified professional tech for an evaluation and (likely) service. There is more going on here that needs to be addressed properly and quickly .
Looks like a REGA built-in safety feature to protect from an overheating problem caused by a grossly inadequate airflow needed to dissipate heat buildups ; requiring a repositioning of your amp in your rack setup .

I have the REGA OSIRIS integrated amp and the REGA ISIS VALVE cdp/ DAC , and their manuals requires a VERY healthy open spacing perimeter required around each unit, ….and NEVER EVER …..have anything stacked on top of either of them .

no service manual online - contact REGA directly .

BUT, AND IT’S A BIG “BUT” …. take it in to a pro tech to inspect it and give a pro assessment ….. there may very well be more mischief to it causing the overheating . You don’t want an embryonic fire hazard on your hands .
