Rega Aethos: Hi-Fi Choice Group Test Winner for 2024
Posted by The Sound Organisation on Oct 8th 2024
Rega’s Aethos has recently claimed the prestigious title of Hi-Fi Choice Group Test Winner for integrated amplifiers in its price range – and it’s easy to see why! Outperforming its competition, the Aethos combines simplicity with raw power, delivering the high-quality sound and style that Rega is known for.
The Aethos embraces the design philosophy that prioritizes pure performance above all else. With five line inputs, a tape loop, and pre-amp outputs, it offers all the connectivity you need to integrate with a dedicated high-end DAC or phono stage of your choosing. By forgoing these built-in features and associated circuitry, Aethos refuses to compromise when it comes to most important thing: audio performance. Hi-Fi Choice agrees, declaring the Aethos "the best-sounding amplifier here," in a competitive test, praising its "clean, smooth and subtly warm" sound that's "quite a thing to hear."
