The Brio–R embodies all the necessary ingredients. Substantial
toroidal transformer, generous power supply components, rugged output
stage, the use of film capacitors in the signal path and at all
critical positions within the phono amplifier.
New output amplifier
Developed by our engineers a newly designed output amplifier using
a low source impedance emitter follower Class A driver stage. Based
around a complementary pair of 150w Sanken Darlington output transistors,
this combination forms a complementary emitter follower emulating
Class A conditions with good thermal stability and lower standing
currents in the driver stage.
Remote Control
Remote control has been added to the Brio-R without compromising
the sonic design of the amplifier. This was achieved by keeping
the remote circuit separate to the audio circuit and having its
own dedicated power supply.
There is no direct contact between the micro-controller and the
signal path, the micro-controller controls the relays whilst the
volume control motor uses DC control voltages.
High quality components
The Brio-R utilises the highest quality components and our engineers'
experience to achieve the best sonic performance.
Ensuring it is the most advanced and feature packed Brio to date.
Improved power supplies
During the Brio-R design process Rega reviewed the circuit and improved
the low and high current power supplies, coupling and bypass capacitors.
The phono stage has been improved to reflect the current improvements
in the Rega Planar turntables, where the input sensitivity has been
increased along with a revision of the
sub 100Hz part of the phono frequency response.
Custom Case & Design
Housed in a brand new custom case the Brio-R draws on the pedigree
of the previous three incarnations of this model.
The sonic recipe for the Brio-R embodies the best in traditional
audio circuits with excellent engineering practice.
