Rega Brio Integrated Amplifier – Black Finish –DEMO/DISPLAY

Rega BRIO integrated amplifier in black finish.  This is the current model in the line of Rega amplifiers.  The Rega BRIO is NOT refurbished or
re-certified units and a demonstration unit. The unit is primarily a display
model and was demonstrated when requested by a customer to hear the unit.  The unit was only on the floor only 2 months
and the pictures still shows the cellophane protector on the front of the amplifier.  The unit is a 10 out of 10 condition.

Shipping – Included
with purchase of the item within most contiguous US states(lower 48
states) only. Shipping cost is added to buyers in Alaska, Puerto Rico, Hawaii,  Guam and Virgin Islands.

The Brio
Integrated Amplifier - NEW for 2017

The Brio has a completely new case to house its improved
circuits and parts. It now sits in a fully aluminium two-part case which boosts
the Brio’s heat sinking capabilities and improves on Rega’s already solid build
quality and reliability. The new Brio has a cleverly integrated headphone
socket specially designed to avoid interference with the audio
circuit when not in use and as you would expect, a very high specification
moving magnet phono stage is built in as standard.

Throughout the design process the Brio has been
meticulously improved in every aspect, from the quality of materials to the
manufacturing process, to make this new Brio a step ahead in Rega’s
engineering and design for amplifiers.

What Hi-Fi? Product of the year award 2017

Brand new case design.

The sleek and minimal look was designed to bring elegance to Rega’s classic
style but still harks back to the swooped features hidden away in Rega’s past
amplifiers. Combining all these aspects makes this Brio case a unique
standpoint amongst the competition.

Re-designed
circuit.

Key improvements have been made to the circuits. The PCB layout has been fully
upgraded to handle higher specifications for all critical parts. A second raw
power supply has been added to provide further isolation between output stage
and the driver stage/line and phono amplifiers. This improves the isolation
between high and low level signal stages of the amplifier. Higher specification
MUSES operational amplifiers have been used in the line and phono amplifier.

Headphone
Socket.

For convenience, the Brio has the capability to drive standard hi-fi headphones
from the internal amplifier. Adding a headphone socket was only possible by
finding a way to reduce its impact on the main signal path so it doesn’t
disrupt the overall sound quality. We have paid special attention to the switch
that deactivates the main speakers.
