Posted by The Sound Organisation on Jun 19th 2026
TONE Magazine recently spent time with Rega’s flagship Mercury preamplifier and Solis power amplifier, and it’s clear why this pairing has generated so much excitement among hi-fi enthusiasts. Drawing on decades of electronics design experience, Rega has created a pre/power combination that embodies the company’s music-first philosophy while pushing performance to an entirely new level.
The pairing was praised for its ability to reveal extraordinary levels of detail and dynamic expression while remaining effortless and engaging. From delicate vocal recordings to large-scale orchestral works, the system consistently delivered a sense of realism, scale, and musical flow that kept the focus on the performance itself.
The review also highlighted the remarkable balance between power and refinement. The Solis provides exceptional control and authority, while the Mercury brings transparency and insight, creating a presentation that is both revealing and deeply musical. An exceptionally low noise floor and outstanding transient response allow instruments and voices to emerge with clarity and precision, resulting in a listening experience that feels immersive and emotionally connected.
Taken together, the Mercury and Solis represent a significant milestone for Rega. For listeners seeking a system capable of bringing them closer to the music, the Mercury and Solis stand as a remarkable achievement.
