Rega Elicit-R Integrated Amplifier, good condition, remote, 3 month warranty Rega Elicit-R Integrated Amplifier, good condition, remote, 3 month warranty Here we have a nice integrated amplifier from British analogue specialists Rega. The Elicit-R includes a moving magnet phono stage which if not required can be switched to a simple line level input. Our example is in good condition with a little wear to the right of the fascia and comes with remote control, mains cable and our 3 month warranty. Rega Say…. The Elicit-R is built to the highest standard and designed to deliver the best possible audio performance whilst remaining simple to use and easy to setup. Our recent development work in amplifier design circuitry has allowed us to further advance the Elicit-R performance by using new and improved power amplifier circuits (based around the hugely successful Rega Brio-R amplifier) combined with FET II discrete line pre-amplifiers and a programmable stepped attenuator volume control. The Elicit-R includes a high quality, built in, moving magnet phono stage which can be switched off by the user if so required. A simple switch on the rear panel switches to a secondary input socket at line level. This socket can be used with any line level product; however, the circuit has dedicated isolation making it ideal for an external phono stage such as the Rega Aria MM/MC. These features coupled with Polypropylene capacitors (used throughout the signal path), improved power supplies, increased output power to 100 Watts per channel, all housed in a brand new custom Rega designed case, combine to give the best performance Elicit to date. Our time, effort & money has been spent on developing the circuit and construction, utilizing the highest specification of components throughout. As part of the design, we have included useful features such as the switchable phono input, to enable the new Elicit-R amplifier to be used in a wide combination of systems and have avoided superfluous gadgets such as tone controls or a headphone socket as they can obstruct the signal path and degrade the sound quality. The Elicit-R amplifier further advances the performance of the Elicit II by combining the Brio-R power amplifier circuit, the Elicit II FET discrete line pre-amplifier circuit and a stepped attenuator volume control. Improvements have also been made to the Brio-R power amplifier circuit which includes better power supplies and an increase in the output power to 100Watts per channel. The Elicit-R has been built to Rega’s high standards of reliability and quality to ensure many years of musical enjoyment. The primary function of an amplifier is to boost and equalize the low level signal generated by a phono cartridge, CD player or other source component to a level that can drive the loudspeakers. It is vital that the amplifier achieves this whilst minimising distortion, as this would directly affect the music. A few extravagantly priced, exotic, high-end amplifiers have used volume controls with a few dozen switched resistors to alter volume levels. The Elicit-R uses a custom chip which contains 1024 resistors which alter volume and simultaneously retain correct input impedance. Only the resistors operate in the audio/music circuit. The programmed control and volume encoder are entirely separate, so the analogue music quality is not affected. The output amplifier used in the Elicit-R and Brio-R was born after extensive research by our engineers to develop a low source impedance emitter follower Class-A driver stage. This is based around a complementary pair of 150w Sanken Darlington output transistors. The technical and sonic improvement gained by the use of low impedance drivers is well known, however, it can feature high standing currents in the driver stage when using standard transistor configurations. By combining the low impedance driver with the Sanken Darlington transistors (with their imbedded thermal bias network running at a lower standing current), this combination forms a complementary emitter follower emulating Class-A conditions with good thermal stability and lower standing currents in the driver stage.

Service Established in 2003, 2ndhandhifi is the UKs largest stockist of used quality audio equipment. All items are checked before despatch and guaranteed for 30 days for ebay buyers to give you peace of mind that the item will arrive safely and work exactly as per ebay descriiptions. This means that all items described as used will be in good working order but may show minimal cosmetic marks resulting from everyday use. Any more significant cosmetic issues will be highlighted in the listing if present. We accept most payment methods but card payment to our shop is preferred. We use a reputable overnight courier service - items will be despatched next working day for delivery the next working day after that, but you are welcome to collect from our sister shop in Stockton on Tees if you prefer. Check our feedback if you have any doubts about the validity of this auction or us! We are a business so (although most times we do) we cannot always answer emails over the weekend so please try to ask Monday to Friday. Important 1. If there is no buy it now price stated, please dont ask - it is intended to be an auction which will run until its end time. 2. If you are outside the UK mainland please ask us for a shipping quote BEFORE placing a bid or clicking “Buy it Now”. If you dont ask, it means you will accept our quote. We do not cut corners on shipping, we only use reliable shipping companies, and we dont profit from the shipping prices we quote. 3. For any item where there is no original packaging the shipping costs include the cost to package the item to ensure safe delivery. Larger items may be shipped on a pallet - but this usually will be stated in the listing. 4. If you win the auction or buy the item, we expect you to pay and we will issue a non payment against you if you dont. Such auctions/listings cost us time (and therefore money). Requests to cancel will be rejected.
