Rega Brio Mk7: The Heartbeat of Your Hi-Fi System
Posted by The Sound Organisation on Mar 25th 2025
Rega is renowned for its exceptional turntables, and the Brio Mk7 amplifier carries that legacy downstream to the world of audio electronics. The Rega Brio has been around for quite sometime, but Rega Research has just unveiled the seventh iteration of this longstanding crowd favorite, the Brio MK7. Awarded the “Exceptional” badge by Sound Advice, this amplifier combines power, musicality, and flexibility in one beautifully crafted package.
With a 50-watt class AB amplifier and Rega’s legendary moving magnet phono stage, the Brio Mk7 delivers an emotional and immersive listening experience. Whether you’re enjoying vinyl or streaming high-resolution files, the sound is fast, tuneful, and perfectly integrated, with bass that is beautifully balanced. Ed Selley for Sound-Advice.com said of the Brio:
“What the Rega does with an assurance that devices that cost many times more can struggle to match is deliver the emotional content of the music you are listening to in a way that means you ignore any technical limitations because the result is so compelling. Indie foursome putting it all on the record? Not a problem. Classical instrumentalist channelling decades of practice to deliver the performance of a lifetime? Sit down and enjoy. There is a fundamental rightness to what the Rega does that will have you questioning whether you really need to spend any more money.”
Designed with audiophiles in mind, the Brio Mk7 is compact, sturdy, and built to last. New for 2025, the Brio includes digital inputs: a Toslink optical and an isolated coax connection that both support PCM encoding on a 24-bit/192kHz sampling rate audio track. These join the phono input (suitable for most MM cartridges, and includes a grounding nut if needed) and 3 additional RCA line inputs. The mk7 Brio also comes standard with a new remote control with remote standby, and all the timeless craftsmanship Rega is known for.
At this price point, the Brio Mk7 is a masterclass in sound, offering unmatched performance that will elevate any system. If you're seeking a true hi-fi experience, the Brio Mk7 is an easy choice.
