Rega Brio

Don't believe all the hype and great "professional" "reviews" this amp has gotten. I bought it and neither the sound was anything to talk about nor the limited options. The worst offender to me is that, at low volume, the amp was noisy, at least noiser (hiss) than other amps I've tried. If this was ...

The latest version of the Brio is a fully analogue class A/B integrated amplifier without bells and whistles.

Rega Brio R. Wharfendale Diamond 10.7 tower speakers. I'm looking to spend up to about $1500, maybe stretch it a little bit more if necessary.

” “I had wondered whether the Brio's obvious air for a tune and bassline was less suited to classical music, but far from it. If anything, its ability to portray big pictures and deliver lifelike, voluptuous and flowing bass is a revelation for classical music, doing a better job than many amps around this price (and above).

I have been using a Rega Brio R for the last 6 years. The difference in sound just blew me away. I am an enthusiast and know little about the nuances but as a listener I could feel the music more !.

CONCLUSION. The Rega Brio-R only offers a small footprint but still manages to provide a full suite of inputs and associated features. More importantly, however, the sound quality is remarkably good for an amplifier at this price point

Still, whilst its cliche-feeding time at this review zoo: this is possibly the finest AU$1000 amplifier I’ve heard to date. The Rega Brio-R is an integrated amplifier that WILL compete with rival units 2x the price.

Evox or Wima polypropylene capacitors supply phono equalization. Like all Rega transformers, the Brio's 154VA toroidal transformer is made by EMV, a two-man company in nearby Suffolk.

Love the Rega Brio amplifier, excellent choice.
