Rega - Brio Mk7 Integrated Amplifier

The Rega Brio MK7 is a handmade, high performance stereo integrated amplifier — the most advanced and feature packed Brio ever released.

Rega's team of engineers have completely re-laid the Brio circuit, optimising it for performance and reducing distortion. Housed in a compact, custom half width aluminium case, the Brio MK7 delivers an impressive 50 W per channel into 8 Ω and 72 W per channel into 4 Ω, providing ample power to drive the most challenging loudspeakers. The Brio MK7 now includes a Rega designed on-board DAC with two digital inputs for greater flexibility, and a new mini system remote is supplied to operate the standby function.

This compact amplifier includes an integrated Rega DAC, standby, auto standby and thermal cut-out — all new features of this latest generation of Brio. Connections extend to three line inputs and, of course, phono with a dedicated moving magnet stage for spinning your latest vinyl, benefiting from improved isolation between stages and high spec op-amps providing gain for attached cartridges. The Brio circuit is often described as one of the most musically rewarding amplifiers in its class, and you can expect equally outstanding performance via the headphone output.

Key circuit improvements include a fully upgraded PCB layout to handle higher specifications for all critical parts, a second raw power supply for further isolation between the output stage and the driver stage/line and phono amplifiers, and higher specification MUSES operational amplifiers in the line, DAC and phono amplifier.
