Rega Brio mk7 Integrated Amplifier (Solid State) Brand new model. Fantastic sound with great DAC. Save $$$$ on a brand new one. Condition: As New / Mint Payment Method: Cash EFT Region/State: (VIC) Victoria/Australia By hugo_wilco 1 Comments Secure Ad AUD $1,200 Date: February 9Feb 9
This A$1,200 asking price for the used Rega Brio is slightly ambitious, sitting just above the 75th percentile of A$1,164 and modestly higher than the A$1,085 median from recent comparable AUD listings. While not a bargain, it reflects fair value for a pristine, original-owner unit in A$1,200 condition, especially given that new MK7 models retail around A$1,800–A$1,900. The price is not so high as to deter a serious buyer, but it lacks the strong deal appeal of listings near A$997 or A$1,000.
The Rega Brio remains a top-tier choice for its rich, detailed midrange and exceptional phono performance, driven by a robust 50W (8Ω) output stage and motorized volume control. Its British heritage, minimalist design, and included remote make it a compelling, well-loved amplifier for analog enthusiasts. At A$1,200, this clean listing of a discontinued, high-quality model represents a solid buying opportunity for those seeking refined sound without the cost of newer digital-integrated units.

Rega Research, founded in 1973 in Essex, England, by Roy Gandy and Tony Relph, emerged from Gandy's lifelong passion for vinyl playback. A Ford engineer and music enthusiast, Gandy built his first turntable, the Planet, in his spare time, blending the founders' surnames to create the Rega name. From humble beginnings in a derelict mill, the company quickly gained traction with early models like the Planar 2 and Planar 3, establishing its heritage as a British hi-fi pioneer dedicated to precision engineering and hand-assembly.
Rega specializes in turntables and tonearms, its cornerstone products, but has expanded into a full ecosystem including cartridges, integrated amplifiers like the Elicit and Brio, phono stages such as the Fono, and speakers like the Ela series. While early efforts included loudspeakers and electronics from the 1980s onward, the brand prioritizes vinyl-centric components over headphones, DACs, or cables, all designed in-house for musical fidelity using specialist materials and tight tolerances.
Rega holds a revered position in the high-end hi-fi market as a niche boutique icon, prized by audiophiles for affordable, lifetime-quality performance that emphasizes music over gimmicks. Globally exported to over 50 countries from its Essex facility employing more than 150, it remains a symbol of British ingenuity, with turntables like the Planar series securing enduring loyalty among vinyl revivalists.
