REGA BRIO 2017

Used. In good condition. Shows some signs of wear, as pictured. Supplied with remote control and original packaging.

Stereo integrated amplifier featuring a completely redesigned chassis and updated circuitry, with improvements aimed at enhancing thermal management, reliability and isolation between the different circuit sections. Its internal structure is housed in a two-section, all-aluminium chassis, designed to promote heat dissipation and provide greater structural rigidity.

The cabinet features a high-gloss finish and a minimalist design that renews Rega's traditional styling. Its compact dimensions and distinctive chassis shape house a construction developed to optimise component layout and the operation of the various electronic sections.

The circuitry has been redesigned, with improvements to both the components and the power supply arrangement. A second power supply provides greater separation between the output stage and the line and phono stages, improving isolation between low- and high-level signals. The line and phono stages use MUSES operational amplifiers, selected for their technical characteristics and contribution to the overall design.

The Rega Brio also incorporates an MM phono stage, allowing a turntable to be connected directly, together with a 6.3 mm headphone output. The latter is designed to minimise interference with the main signal path when not in use, while a dedicated circuit automatically mutes the loudspeakers during headphone listening.
