Rega Brio-R vs Elicit-R

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?

Leemaze,

I have two systems. I started upgrading one (moving away from SONOS streamers) which created a whole new journey down the rabbit hole of slowing upgrading everything. I landed up buying and later selling different things in a quest to get my digital sound as satisfying as my turntable set up. 
In the system (used to be Rega) I now have a Linn front end, Pass Labs pre, Pass Labs amp and Spendor D9 speakers.

I have heard four amps in the Rega line. I found the Elex-R was the sweat spot for the money. I have not listened to the new Aethos though.

I like the Rega sound. I find Rega is one of those brands the benefits from a system being all Rega.
