Rega Elicit-R

Rega Elicit-R - A musical mediator in a special class

The new Elicit-R is a pure analog amplifier that prioritizes sound reproduction over all possible extra functions. This makes it an incredibly simple and user-friendly amplifier, which delivers one of the most convincing sound performances in its class. Its sonic qualities are easily recognizable from Rega's Brio and Elex-R, but with the Elicit-R there is much more of it all. The timing is sharper, the level of detail is richer, the dynamics are greater and it has far more power and control. This makes it a very entertaining amplifier, which engages and immerses you in the music in such a way that it is impossible to sit still. Because Elicit-R is a master at making music come alive.

HIGHLIGHTS:

• Great timing and dynamics
• High degree of detail
• Lots of power and control
• Superb MM-phone input for the record player.
• 2 x 105 watts into 8 ohms - 2 x 164 watts into 4 ohms.
• Beautiful and modern design
• Solaris system remote control
• 5 line inputs

Technology and functionality

When you look at the Elicit-R, it is clear to see that it is built on the incredibly playful Brio-R. The much larger cabinet and budget have only made it possible to build an effect stage that is twice as powerful, so that the Elicit-R delivers a sound reproduction that is better on all parameters. The preamp section is inspired by its predecessor, and it offers a discreet FET construction and a high-quality and programmable attenuator volume control, which ensures much more control over the current supply and a higher performance.

Rega is almost synonymous with turntables, which is why the Elicit-R also comes with a high-quality MM-RIAA, which can get the best out of your turntable. If you still want to use an external RIAA, or simply need an extra line input for a CD player or DAC, then there is a switch on the Elicit-R back which disconnects the built-in MM-RIAA. These features, together with the Polyproylene capacitors, the improved power supply and power output, make the Elicit-R deliver the best performance to date.
