REGA IO

Pre owned. In excellent condition. Free from any significant signs of wear. Supplied with remote control, original packaging not included.

The Rega io is an integrated amplifier designed to deliver the renowned sound quality of the British manufacturer in a compact, affordable, and user-friendly package. Conceived as the ideal entry point into the world of Rega hi-fi, it combines strong performance, versatility, and refined musicality, making it an excellent choice for home listening and for building a high-quality first hi-fi system.

The amplifier section operates in Class A/B and delivers 30 watts per channel into 8 ohms. Its design draws directly from the award-winning Brio, sharing the same amplification stage and ensuring a dynamic, engaging, and highly detailed musical presentation. Careful component selection, including Sanken output transistors, an Alps volume potentiometer, and a dedicated linear power supply, helps maintain outstanding sound quality and signal purity.

The amplifier features two RCA line inputs for connecting primary audio sources and incorporates a high-quality MM phono stage based on the same circuitry used in the Rega Brio. Thanks to its generous gain and carefully engineered design, it pairs effectively with virtually any moving magnet cartridge, allowing a turntable to be connected directly without the need for an external phono preamplifier.

A dedicated headphone output is located on the front panel and is designed to provide excellent performance with a wide range of hi-fi headphones. The circuit uses the amplifier’s power stage through a relay-based system that automatically mutes the speakers when headphones are connected, preserving signal integrity and ensuring high-quality private listening.

The completely redesigned chassis features a compact construction with an aluminum outer case and a steel base, promoting effective heat dissipation while enhancing overall structural rigidity. Its compact dimensions allow it to fit easily into a wide variety of listening environments without compromising audio performance.

A practical mini remote control is included, allowing convenient operation of the amplifier’s main functions. The combination of ease of use, solid build quality, and impressive sonic performance makes the Rega io an attractive choice for anyone looking to experience the distinctive Rega sound through a complete, elegant, and highly capable integrated amplifier.
