Product Description
The Brio has a completely new case to house its improved circuits and parts. It now sits in a fully aluminum two-part case which boosts the Brios heat sinking capabilities and improves on Regas already solid build quality and reliability. The new Brio has a cleverly integrated headphone socket specially designed to avoid interference with the audio circuit when not in use and as you would expect a very high specification moving magnet phono stage is built in as standard. 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 Regas engineering and design for amplifiers. Brand New Case Design The sleek and minimal look was designed to bring elegance to Regas classic style but still harks back to the swooped features hidden away in Regas past amplifiers. Combining all these aspects makes this Brio case a unique standpoint amongst the competition. 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. 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 doesnt disrupt the overall sound quality. We have paid special attention to the switch that deactivates the main speakers.

Middle frequency, vocal lived. High frequency clear ! But Volume control only trough by remote control!
I was looking at tube amplifiers, but decided that was not a rabbit hole that I wanted to go down. After looking at all the integrated amplifiers with around 50w per channel, I settled on the Rega Brio. I read different reviews and the ones that matched it against similar or a bit more expensive amplifiers always gave the nod to the Rega.
I looked around and found that the $995 price was standard, so I decided to at least get some Amazon points and bought it here.
I received it quickly (about a week faster than the stated delivery date) and was able to hook it up in 15 minutes. I had played one of my favorite records on the old setup just to remind me what it sounded like. I played it again with the new setup and the difference was like night and day. The best way to describe it is if someone who didn't know they were extremely near-sighted put on prescription glasses for the first time. Everything is clear and crisp, more defined. You didn't know how much you were missing out on until you discovered that you were missing out on it!
I'm very happy with the purchase and I'm definitely getting the most bang for the buck from it. Now I have to go through my record collection (5,000 and counting) and listen to them all again. That should keep me out of trouble for a few days!
I came across a Nikko 38 wpc 7075 that sounds "ok" and probably needs some love-re capping. I also found a vintage Marantz 2252 that worked for awhile but recently one channel cut out. I was about to have it serviced-restored to original spec, then I thought let's check out the current gear out there. After reading reviews and articles I came across what looked like a promising potential start down the road of "audiophile" 101.
So it's been week 3 of life with the Rega Brio. I took the time to 'burn in' or at least get there part way. I tried with the three different speakers. My music sources are streaming Tidal HD and Hifi, Apple Music, and CD. I have yet to pick up a turntable and start collecting vinyl. That will be next. Back to the Brio. It's got balls plenty. It's music detail is ok. It just isn't right though. Midrange is meh, too bright and sounds artificial and even harsh at higher volume levels, unnatural. It makes my ears hurt if you know what I mean. Bass is weak. Another thing that stood out, it had to be played at higher volumes to experience greater detail. It's my understanding that isn't unusual with non-tube gear, but I found this especially so with the Brio. I went thru endless music types from jazz, pop, to rock from 60's to current day. While some types of music sound better (at lower levels) it all became fatiguing to my ears. Maybe the speakers are the weak link I thought. I even picked up a DAC.
So swapped over to the Marantz 2252. Even with only one channel working (mono set) the warmth and neutral tones came thru. Ahh, much better. Remember the Marantz is not only out a channel but is in need of serious re-capping. It's a shell of itself right now. Then I tried the Nikko. While this receiver isn't my favorite and a level below the Marantz, it too was more listenable and in some ways superior to the Rega Brio.
You could argue that it's just personal preference and my ears are as old as my taste in audio gear, fair enough And yes the speakers are arguably not the finest out there, but that aside I'm comparing apples to apples - one amp vs another. The speakers reproduce what goes through them right?
While the Rega Brio isn't a poor design and that's why I gave it 3 stars, it's just not all that impressive at least compared to some very low to mid level 1970's audio gear. That's not to mention gear that is operating below their 100% level - in need of restoration.
So try the Brio. It's a personal choice. Hey you may be thrilled with it. I just found it musically contrived and not something I can experience that 'getting lost in a musical experience' with. Meanwhile the Marantz is going in for a rebuild ;)
I use it for my desktop setup where am spending most of time and love to hear this amp - pairs very well bookshelf speakers (elac vela 406), I tested these my (R7's) dont think they were able to drive it with the same conviction.
