Rega Elex MK4
The amplifier that brings your music to lifeThe Rega Elex MK4 is a high-performance integrated amplifier designed for accurate, natural sound. It is based on the award-winning class A/B power circuit of earlier Rega designs and delivers 72 W per channel into 8 Ω and 90 W into 6 Ω, driving demanding loudspeakers with ease. A Rega DAC with two digital inputs is added on the rear panel, with a headphone output on the front.A new case that doubles as a heatsinkThe MK4 arrives in a new case that brings it in line visually with the rest of the Rega range. The entire enclosure acts as a heatsink, improving heat dissipation and the thermal stability of the circuit over long listening sessions. Measuring 43.2 x 8.2 x 34 cm, it occupies the usual space of a full-width amplifier.Flexibility for any systemFour line inputs, MM phono, optical and coaxial digital inputs, a pre-amp output and a record output allow the Elex MK4 to fit almost any system and to be upgraded later with an external power amplifier. It includes thermal, short-circuit and DC protection, while key components such as high-quality relays, polypropylene capacitors and Sanken output transistors are selected for sound quality.

Rega Aethos
No compromise, for faithful reproductionThe Rega Aethos is an integrated amplifier without compromise, with one goal: faithful reproduction of music. Hand-built in England in a new custom case, it follows a dual mono architecture and delivers 125 W per channel into 8 Ω and 156 W into 6 Ω, using four 160 W Sanken output transistors per channel. It is a purely analogue amplifier, for systems where every link in the chain matters.The evolution of the Elex-R and Elicit-RThe Aethos builds on the experience of the award-winning Elex-R and Elicit-R but raises the bar at every point: a discrete class A FET line stage, polypropylene capacitors in the signal path, Rega K-Power capacitors and a regulated power amplifier supply. Rega invested heavily in circuit design and construction, using components of the highest specification.Recognised by the international pressSince its launch, the Aethos has won successive What Hi-Fi? awards as the best stereo amplifier in its class (2020 to 2024), a Hi-Fi Choice group test win (2024) and a Stereo+ Product of the Year award. It is the ideal partner for Rega's Planar 10 turntable and the Isis and Valve Isis CD players.

Rega Brio MK7
The seventh generation of a legendThe 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 stageVinyl 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 classThe 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.

Rega Planar 6
RP8 and RP10 technology in a more accessible formThe Planar 6 succeeds the award-winning RP6 and is Rega's first turntable with a Tancast 8 foam core plinth. It takes the ideas behind the RP8 and RP10, namely an ultra-light yet rigid base, a matched motor and a separate power supply, and brings them to a price class where, according to Rega, its performance exceeds its cost. This version comes in matt Polaris grey with high-gloss black edge trim, together with the RB330 tonearm and the Neo PSU MK2 power supply, without a cartridge. It is hand-built in England.Platter, sub-platter and feetThe platter consists of two layers of float glass, one smoked and one clear, bonded under pressure, as on the RP8. It sits on a sub-platter machined from a single piece of aluminium and carefully balanced. A wool felt mat is included; it is anti-static and does not stick to records. The feet are aluminium with an elastomer insert to isolate the turntable from the surface it stands on.Cartridge choice and systemWithout a factory-fitted cartridge, the Planar 6 leaves the choice to you: it pairs ideally with the Rega Nd5, Nd7 and Nd9 (MM) or the Ania, Ania Pro and Apheta 3 (MC). Depending on the cartridge you will need an MM or MC phono stage, such as the Rega Fono MM MK5 and Fono MC MK4, or an amplifier with the matching input.

Rega Aria MK3 MM / MC
Two phono stages in oneThe Aria MK3 is Rega's phono stage for listeners who want to use both moving magnet (MM) and moving coil (MC) cartridges. It features two completely separate stages, one for MM and one fully adjustable for MC, each with its own input and its own circuit designed specifically for the type of cartridge it serves. It is housed in a half-width aluminium enclosure.Pure analogueThe Aria MK3 is a purely analogue system with no digital control circuitry. Rega deliberately avoided any unnecessary function that would burden the signal path, keeping only what serves the music. Stereonet described it as musical, engaging and tonally smooth, with an awful lot to like for the money.Partnerships and warrantyRega recommends it with the Ania, Ania Pro, Apheta 3 and Aphelion 2 cartridges, the Planar 6, Planar 8 and Planar 10 turntables and the Aethos amplifier. It is covered by Rega's Lifetime Limited Warranty against confirmed manufacturing defects.

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 105 W integrated amplifier with FET preamp, DAC and MM phono stage
The heart of your music
The Rega Elicit MK5 combines elements of three of Rega's most successful products, built on decades of electronic design experience. It is housed in the company's latest case and uses the class A/B power circuit of earlier models, delivering 105 W per channel into 8 Ω, 127 W into 6 Ω and 162 W into 4 Ω. It drives difficult loudspeakers with ease and integrates readily into almost any system.
A higher-quality MM phono stage
The built-in moving magnet phono stage has been upgraded over the previous generation. With 2 mV sensitivity into 47 kΩ / 220 pF and a response from 15 Hz to 85 kHz (−3 dB), it is the natural partner for turntables such as the Planar 3, Planar 6 and Planar 8. For MC cartridges, Rega recommends the external Fono MC.
Complete connectivity
Alongside four line inputs, phono and two digital inputs, the Elicit MK5 offers a Direct input for use as a power amplifier, a record loop, a pre-amp output and a high-performance headphone output. The headphone socket is designed so that speaker switching happens at the output mute relay, keeping the signal path clean. It includes thermal protection and comes with an IR remote control.
A pre-amp from the Aethos
The biggest change in the MK5 is in the pre-amplifier. The Elicit now shares key design elements with the Aethos, the flagship integrated amplifier of its range, bringing much of its performance into a more accessible category.
Discrete FET circuit
The pre-amplifier stage is based on a discrete circuit using FET transistors rather than off-the-shelf integrated circuits. This approach lets Rega's engineers control every parameter of the circuit, resulting in very low noise, wide dynamic range and a natural, open presentation. Even at low volumes, the small details of a recording remain clear and easy to follow.
Alps volume control
Volume is set by an Alps potentiometer, the same type of component used in the Aethos. Accurate channel balance across the whole range ensures a stable stereo image, whether you listen quietly late at night or at high levels. Around the pre-amplifier, inputs are switched by high-quality relays and the signal path uses polypropylene capacitors.
The pre-amp output delivers 760 mV at 600 Ω, so the Elicit MK5 can also act as a pre-amplifier for an external power amplifier, should you wish to expand your system in the future.
The Direct input, with 760 mV sensitivity into 50 kΩ, bypasses the volume control and feeds the power stage directly, ideal for integrating the Elicit MK5 into a home cinema system alongside an AV processor. The record loop and record output link add further flexibility for recorders or a dedicated headphone amplifier.
105 W of controlled power
In the power stage, the Elicit MK5 relies on Rega's proven class A/B circuit, refined through generations of award-winning amplifiers. It delivers 105 W per channel into 8 Ω, rising to 162 W into 4 Ω.
Sanken transistors and a toroidal transformer
The output stage uses Sanken power transistors, known for their linearity and reliability, in a Darlington topology. Energy comes from a large toroidal transformer, giving the amplifier reserves for the sudden dynamic peaks in music. The near-doubling of power from 8 to 4 Ω shows a power supply with real capability, one that does not tire when the loudspeakers demand current.
Control over difficult loudspeakers
The Elicit MK5 can drive loads down to 1 Ω. This makes it suitable for standmount speakers and large floorstanders with demanding impedance curves alike. Bass remains tight and controlled, while the music keeps the rhythm and energy that define Rega.
Because optimum performance requires the bias current to stabilise, Rega has not included automatic power management. The thermal cut-out monitors circuit temperature and protects both amplifier and loudspeakers in extreme conditions.
Typical THD+N on the line input is just 0.007%, while frequency response extends from 10 Hz to 85 kHz (−3 dB). These figures confirm a fast, linear, wide-bandwidth circuit that reaches well beyond the limits of human hearing, preserving timing and the natural decay of instruments.
New Rega DAC
The MK5 adds a new DAC circuit designed by Rega, bringing modern digital sources to the Elicit without the need for an external converter.
Isolated inputs, Wolfson components
The optical and coaxial S/PDIF inputs are galvanically and optically isolated, so noise and ground currents from the source do not reach the analogue stages. The signal is received by a Wolfson S/PDIF receiver and converted by a Wolfson DAC, while a discrete line driver designed by Rega drives the converter's output. The digital signal therefore passes through the same philosophy of discrete circuitry that runs throughout the amplifier.
From CD to high resolution
The DAC supports 16 to 24-bit depth and sample rates of 32, 44.1, 48, 88.2, 96, 176.4 and 192 kHz. Connect a network player, CD transport or television and enjoy everything from CD-quality material to high-resolution files, with the musicality you expect from Rega.
The digital section has no USB input; it is designed for external sources via S/PDIF. Together with four line inputs and phono, the Elicit MK5 becomes the hub of a complete system, controlled from one remote, without extra boxes and cables on the shelf.
The rear-panel connections are logically arranged, with the digital inputs grouped separately from the analogue ones, so installation is simple and tidy. Every input is selected from the front panel or the supplied remote control, with clear indication of the active source.
