Rega Brio-R vs Elicit-R

Thanks kren0006 - yeah I’ve read several folks describe it as “more laidback, but also more bright” than the Brio/Elex. Folks seem to say the Elex-R is more of the Brio-R sound, while the Elicit-R is more “refined” but laidback, lacking assertiveness. Does any of this square with your experience? I don’t know how laidback and bright can co-exist frankly...

Sorry, I wouldn't be able to comment with any degree of certainty because I heard them at different times with different speakers and equipment etc.  

I suspect that any differences in tonal balance result from the differing release dates (I think they were released maybe a year apart??) and the latter (which I think was Elex-R and Brio-R, versus Ellicit-R) incorporating some additional knowhow that Rega attained over that year.  But that is just a guess, and I could be off on the dates.  Haven't looked at for quite awhile.

I think the timeline went Brio-R -> Elicit-R -> Elex-R

I am taking my Rega system into the local store to sell on consignment tomorrow...

Hi @photomax tell me more! Why are you selling? What did you like about your set up?  Did you ever audition the Elicit-R in your system?
