New Rega Brio 2017

Hello All,

I am wondering if anyone has had hands-on experience with Rega's newly redesigned gizmo amplifier? I hear through channels that it's quite the eye opener. I've owned a few of the company's throughout time and currently own an Elex-R. Super overachiever. Please share any personal or field experiences you've been able to have so far. Thank you.

I’m considering a Brio having read great things about it. There are some concerning reviews on Amazon about build quality and hum. I know that the prior Brio-R was susceptible to hum. Can anyone describe their experience with the new version?

hi,
no hum from my unit, just purely musical with a black background.

Had the original Brio-R, traded for the new Brio and use at low volume in my office system.  I cannot hear any difference in sound but still breaking in.  I also have the Apollo and DAC-R.  I use these with Harbeth P3ESR speakers.  Also, no hum issues with either unit.
