Rega IO
Rega sound in its most accessible formThe Rega io is the smallest integrated amplifier from the British manufacturer and the most direct way into a genuine Rega system. Hand-built in England, it shares its power stage and phono stage with the award-winning Brio, delivering 30 W per channel into 8 Ω from a chassis just 18 cm wide. It offers two line inputs, a built-in MM phono stage and a dedicated front-panel headphone output, and comes with Rega's new mini remote control.Built for a simple, musical systemThe io is aimed at listeners who want clean, lively sound without unnecessary features. It pairs naturally with the Planar 1, Planar 1 Plus, Planar 2 and Planar 3 turntables and the Kyte bookshelf speakers, and comfortably drives small standmount speakers or a compact pair of floorstanders. Speakers connect via screw terminals that also accept banana plugs.Small footprint, serious constructionMeasuring 18 x 6.8 x 29 cm and weighing 2.9 kg, the io fits easily on a shelf, desk or TV unit. Its new chassis was designed specifically for it, while a linear power supply with a toroidal transformer keeps performance stable. Like every Rega amplifier, it benefits from a short warm-up period for the bias current to settle and deliver its best.

Rega Planar 2 Black
A 1975 legend, rewrittenThe Planar 2 continues the story of the turntable of the same name that Rega introduced in 1975. Today's version was developed over around two years alongside the Planar 3 and borrows many of its engineering improvements: the RB220 tonearm, a new low-noise 24 V motor, a high-gloss acrylic laminated plinth and a redesigned main bearing. Rega's goal was to extract as much detail as possible from the groove. This version comes in a Black Gloss finish with a clear dust cover.Ready to play, with room to growThe Planar 2 is supplied with the Rega Carbon cartridge factory fitted, making it practically plug & play. At the same time, the RB220 tonearm with its adjustable bias leaves the door open to a cartridge upgrade later on. The model has collected awards and glowing reviews from What Hi-Fi?, Hi-Fi Choice, Hi-Fi News and Sound Matters.What you need to get startedA dust cover, felt mat and multilingual quick start guide are included. The Planar 2 needs an amplifier with an MM phono input or an external phono stage, such as the Rega Fono Mini A2D.

Rega Planar 3 Black
The iconic Planar 3The Planar 3 is the successor to the award-winning RP3 and perhaps Rega's most recognisable turntable. It was designed over two years by a team led by company founder Roy Gandy and is essentially an all-new turntable: only two components were carried over from the previous model. What Hi-Fi? named it Product of the Year every year from 2016 to 2021 and again in 2024. This version comes in a Black Gloss finish.No cartridge, for a free choiceIn Greece the Planar 3 is supplied without a cartridge, so it can be paired with the one that best suits your system and taste: from Rega's Nd3, Nd5 and Nd7 MM models to the Ania and Ania Pro MC cartridges, or those of other makers. For anyone who prefers a ready-to-play solution, a Planar 3 version with a factory-fitted Elys 2 cartridge is also available.Upgradeable over the yearsThe Planar 3 is ready for the Rega Neo PSU MK2 power supply, which adds electronic speed change and even better stability. A clear dust cover, felt mat and quick start guide are included. It requires an amplifier with a phono input or an external phono stage.

Rega AYA (Pair)
Ten years in developmentThe Rega AYA is a floorstanding speaker that results from a ten-year effort by Rega's design team, led by the company's founder Roy Gandy. The goal was a detailed, balanced sound that serves every kind of music. It uses hand-made Rega-designed drivers, the ZRR tweeter and a new crossover, while the sculpted cabinet and stand give the impression that it floats above the floor.A bold aestheticThe Steel Grey finish combines a steel grey front panel with a dark grey GRC cabinet. Grilles are optional, attach magnetically and are sold separately. Because GRC is a natural material, slight variations in shade and tiny pinholes in the surface are normal and make every pair unique.Working with the systemRega recommends the AYA with the Elex, Elicit and Aethos amplifiers and with the Planar 2, 3, 6, 8 and 10 turntables. The AYA has received awards from Hi-Fi Choice (Recommended) and AV Forums (Highly Recommended). The price is for a pair of speakers.

2 x 50 W integrated amplifier with MM phono stage and built-in Rega DAC
The seventh generation of a legend
The Brio has been one of hi-fi's best-loved compact amplifiers for decades, and the Rega Brio MK7 is its most advanced and fully featured version yet. Hand-built in England in a half-width aluminium case, it delivers 50 W per channel into 8 Ω and 72 W into 4 Ω, enough to drive demanding loudspeakers. For the first time in the model's history, it integrates a Rega-designed DAC with two digital inputs.
Dedicated MM phono stage
Vinyl remains at the centre. The Brio MK7 features a dedicated moving magnet phono stage with improved isolation between internal stages and high-specification op-amps to amplify the cartridge signal. With 2.1 mV sensitivity into 47 kΩ / 220 pF and ±0.4 dB RIAA accuracy, it is the natural partner for a Planar 1, Planar 2, Planar 3 or Planar 3 RS Edition.
One of the most musical amplifiers in its class
The Brio has built its reputation on rhythm, balance and natural presentation, and the MK7 adds more detail and refinement. With three line inputs, phono, two digital inputs and a 6.3 mm headphone output, it covers a complete modern system in an amplifier just 21.6 cm wide.
Re-laid circuit
For the MK7, Rega's engineers re-laid the circuit from scratch, aiming for lower distortion and better performance at every stage. The improvements cover both materials and manufacturing.
Two power supplies for a cleaner signal
The most important change is the addition of a second raw power supply. The output stage, which draws high currents when the music demands dynamics, is now isolated from the sensitive driver, line and phono stages. Load fluctuations no longer affect the low-level circuits, which translates into lower noise, a more stable stereo image and a quieter background. Typical THD+N is just 0.005% at 1 kHz.
MUSES op-amps and a Darlington output stage
The new PCB layout allowed higher-specification parts, with MUSES op-amps in the line, DAC and phono stages. The power stage is based on Rega's proven Darlington topology with Sanken output transistors, while the preamplifier operates in class A. The Brio MK7 delivers 50 W per channel into 8 Ω and 72 W into 4 Ω, with the control and speed that made the model famous. The whole circuit sits in a half-width aluminium case that also acts as a heatsink for effective heat dissipation, keeping the amplifier stable during long listening sessions. With continuous use into 4 Ω loads the case can become noticeably warm, so placement with free ventilation space around and above the unit is recommended.
The outcome is a Brio that keeps the familiar rhythmic character of the line while offering more resolution, a cleaner background and greater ease when the music becomes dense and dynamic.
Built-in Rega DAC
The Brio MK7 is the first Brio with a built-in DAC. The circuit is designed by Rega and opens the amplifier to every modern digital source without an external converter.
Two digital inputs
The rear panel carries one galvanically isolated coaxial S/PDIF input, at 0.5 V and 75 Ω impedance, and one optical Toslink input. You can connect a network player, CD transport, television or games console and hear them through the same circuit that handles your vinyl. Isolation of the coaxial input prevents noise from the digital source from reaching the amplifier's analogue stages, preserving the quiet background that Rega amplifiers are known for.
High resolution up to 24-bit / 192 kHz
The DAC supports sample rates of 32, 44.1, 48, 88.2, 96, 176.4 and 192 kHz, covering everything from CD-quality material to high-resolution files. MUSES op-amps in the DAC's analogue output stage ensure the digital signal is reproduced with the same musicality and natural presentation as analogue sources. Together with three line inputs and phono, the Brio MK7 becomes the hub of a complete system, where turntable, streamer and television coexist without extra boxes on the shelf.
Integrating the DAC in the same case also means fewer interconnects and fewer power supplies, and therefore fewer potential sources of noise. A simpler system that sounds better, in keeping with Rega's philosophy of putting the music first.
Headphones, standby and protection
The MK7 brings a series of practical features to the Brio without sacrificing any of the purity of the signal path. Every addition is designed to stay outside the audio circuit.
A carefully designed headphone output
The onboard headphone circuit drives standard hi-fi headphones, delivering up to 5.9 V into 300 Ω through a 6.3 mm front-panel socket. It is designed to have minimal impact on the main signal path, and particular attention was paid to the switch that mutes the speakers when headphones are plugged in. The new mini system remote now also controls standby, so the amplifier can be switched on and off from the listening position.
Auto standby and full protection
If there is no signal on the selected input for around one hour, the Brio MK7 automatically enters standby, drawing just 0.4 W. This function can be disabled if preferred. If a dangerous temperature is reached, the thermal cut-out first disables the speaker output and, if overheating continues, powers the unit down. Foldback short-circuit protection limits current if the speaker leads are shorted, and because it sits outside the signal path it has no effect on sound quality.
These features make the Brio MK7 an amplifier you can leave in your system without thinking about anything other than the music, safe in the knowledge that it protects both itself and your loudspeakers through many years of everyday use in the home.
