Rega Elicit-R integrated amplifier
Rega Elicit-R stereo integrated amplifier.
The Rega Elicit-R is an integrated amplifier that sits between the soon to be released Aethos and Elex-R. It features a high spec moving magnet (MM) phono stage and an integrated headphone amplifier. The Rega Elicit-R initially looks similar inside to the Elex-R but really it’s just the layout that is similar . The Elicit-R takes full advantage of a range of upgraded components which increases performance.
The Elicit-R amplifier is able to deliver 105W per channel into 8 Ohms and 162W into 4 Ohms. The amplifier is much more thermally efficient because of the extra space inside and greater amount of heatsinking. A larger toroidal transformer in the power supply gives greater dynamics. Many critical components upgrades mean better performance and power output. The Elicit-R features a combination of both leaded and surface mount components. This is a lot of amplifier for the money and thanks to its clever design also sounds great.
Elicit-R offers fantastic sound quality as you’d expect and incredible build quality too. It was given five stars in the What HiFi review. They commented that it is “One of the best stereo amps that we’ve heard at this price”. Find out for yourself by booking a demo here at DNA Audio.
