Rega Brio-R Integrated Amplifier Unboxing and Review

2012-09-19
hey guys audio head here another review for you this time we have the Riga Brio are it's an integrated amp with multiple inputs we just want to do a quick unboxing for you here and let you know what we got going on so this particular AM as I said before is integrated it has you can put line level inputs into it and it goes out to your speakers it's very simple it has five input with an input selector here power button here and then just a simple volume remote there's no tone controls for this one so that's kind of a different it's very simple setup it comes included with a very simple remote so I can show you here there's no power on this one just volume mute and then input selector here infrared go straight to there it also comes included with instruction manual registration and your basic power cord here I'm going to turn this thing around for you so you'll get it you can see on the back here the inputs are very simple simply five separate inputs the first one being in a phono input which I have not experienced with personally but I hear is pretty good for the price this was previously unmarked but I noticed that rekka did update this now and it is clearly labeled a phono whereas in the previous models actually did not have a labeling so you could mistakenly plug a regular and put into your phone oh there's also a record output so you said a very simple setup with this guy but as far as you know price to performance is concerned it's pretty good I feel it the clarity on this amp is really what stands out for the price you get quite the resolution quite the the impact that you want with a simple to channel setup so the clarity is really good I found the basic impact to be pretty Hardy as well nice well-balanced kind of solid state sound from this not too shabby if you're looking for more of a really thick lush mid-range may want to go the tube route if that's your thing but for solid-state sound this is pretty good crystal clear highs are very articulated and nice and joined it very much and it is rated at I think 50 to 60 watts of channel I can tell you with my pair of zoo omens I had it barely the knob barely at ten percent and those puppies were pretty loud the speaker's I tested this out with dill have very high efficiency so you know that is by no means going to be the standard rule of thumb that ten percents can be good enough for you but it's just as something up it's very powerful for its size it is a half-size am so as you can see it's not full-length as you can pull with rather as you see with some components it's just have roughly half the size of a larger component well and then these is this this line also has a DAC external that matches the same type of styling and a CD player so you could in essence if you wanted to put two of these side by side in the same space that would fit a normal component and styling I happen to like very nice to each his own this one does come in black and white but as you can see background rear to front this thing is extraordinarily heavy to lift up I was surprised um really simple design but boy oh boy I mean it has some weight to it the feet are good so this I have not taken the plastic up here but this is actually a high-gloss shine here and the matching CD player and act both share the same type of high-gloss front which is nice if you like that so just to sum up you know it is a great little lamp it fits in a very nice small space in white is quite quite powerful for what you get granted the price point around $1,000 you know you do expect these kind of things being high quality build and you got to have power I mean you could get a lot of stuff for a thousand dollar range to kind of really push the volume if that's what you want it but is in addition to the volume I really saw a lot of great clarity at the top end and some tightness with a low end really good clear clear bass articulation which is nice I'm few have any other questions you know let me know in the comments section subscribe to the YouTube channel if you can thanks a lot guys have a good one
