With these three Rega integrated amps being all about great audio, they do share some common characteristics.
First, everyone uses a toroidal power transformer. These are quieter than standard power transformers and offer better performance, although they do cost more than a cheap basic transformer.
All are just pure two channel stereo with just the right amount of inputs for most systems. The io and Brio are all analog, while the Elex MK4 has two digital inputs.
All of the integrated amps have solid binding posts for speaker connections for one pair of speakers. If you want to upgrade the AC power cable, this is possible on every model as they all have detachable power cords.
We sometimes forget about this when discussing Rega products, and it is a pretty amazing fact in this day and age of globalization, but all Rega products are made in their UK factory. That is very impressive when you consider their price points.
Finally, each model comes with a small remote control for the basic functions of the unit.
Now let’s take a look at each one to help you understand which model might be the best pick for your system.
