About the ELEX-R
The Rega Elex-R integrated amplifier combines technologies from the Brio-R and Elicit-R, delivering 72.5W into 8Ω (90W into 6Ω, 113W into 4Ω) with a low distortion of 0.007%. It features a custom full-width chassis with improved heat dissipation, a larger custom transformer, enhanced power supplies, and a high-specification MM phono stage. The design includes a combined feedback and passive volume control pre-amp for precise channel matching and low noise. Key connectivity includes 4 line inputs, phono input, pre-amp out, record out, and a dedicated mini remote. Built with complementary Sanken Darlington output transistors in a low-impedance emitter follower stage emulating Class-A operation for superior sonic performance. It is no longer manufactured, having been discontinued and succeeded by updated models like the MK4 version.
