Rega has just announced the launch of a brand new integrated amplifier, the Aethos.

The Aethos stereo amplifier is housed in a brand new custom designed case. Employing four 160 W 16 Amp output transistors per channel, this delivers 156 W per channel into 6 Ω. The Aethos is a dual mono design using a custom wound toroidal transformer and regulated supplies for the sensitive amplification and driver stages.

The Rega Planar 1 has been the most successful turntable that Rega have produced, but rather than sit on their laurels, they decided to see if they could make it even easier to use and more accessible to the new generation of people discovering vinyl replay and so the Rega Planar 1 Plus was born.

Hi-Fi Choice magazine has just awarded the Rega Elex-R 5 stars and the number one position in their latest group test of integrated amplifiers in the £700.00 to £1030.00 price range against some stiff opposition.

The review states that “while the other amps bring special talents to the group, the Elex-R delivers the masterclass” and that “musically, it’s untouchable”.

The final addition to the new Rega Planar range of turntables is the Planar 1.

The all new Planar 1 is the most user friendly Rega turntable to date. Now with preset bias force on the brand new RB110 tonearm, the Planar 1 is set up in seconds after unpacking.
