No news on a Planar 10?

I was told "Summer" delivery but hope it is May.

looks fabulous

I was told about this amp a couple of months ago. Kept to this price point as NO phono stage included - assumption is you would want either the Aria or the other one. Looks very appealing.

Digital inputs?

I do love the styling of that, upper tier Rega kit always looks good of course.

Digital inputs?

I think it's designed (rightly in my view) as a pure analogue amp, as per the Supernait 2. There are so many phono stages and dac/streamers around now, why waste the money?

 

[Cereal Killer]

True!! but a USB in has a lot to offer and appeals to a newer generation.

 

[RustyB]

Wow. Presume Rega employ the services of an industrial design consultant?

 

[PerF]

Never a similar looking item from Rega
And yet family common

Its a good strong pricerange to choose -
Bet they follow-up with a CD, perhaps streamer, new speakers too.?

 

[samz]

It has a headphone socket according to the price list.
125W per channel

 

[PerF]

They could have left that socket at lower level range only imo

 

[Borntorun]

that does look nice, I've never heard any Rega appliances before, I should do that one day

 

[Fire99]

Impressive looking! Once again, another temptation offered by Rega- I’m never going to catch up at this rate!

Anyone yet know if this is to be an Elicit-r replacement, or a model to slot between the Elicit-r and the Osiris?

It will be between the Elicit R and the Osiris in the product range, priced at £2999.00p

 

[PerF]

I believe Osiris/Isis are slow sellers

New range will match a wider audience and probably sell much better, can't wait for the upcoming Aethos CD (please)

 

[YNWOAN]

It does look jolly good .

 

[kabayiri]

Do we know if the logo illumination is just the standard Rega red?

It's a small point, but I'd like to be able to choose a standard green or blue or red look across all my electronics.
