Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the new Brio amplifier, the 6th generation of Rega's best-selling amplifier.
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 heatsinking capabilities and improves on Rega's already solid build
quality and reliability. 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.
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.
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. This is achieved by the same relay used in Rega's other amplifier models.
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.
