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.

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.

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.
