** SPECIAL ORDER **
AETHOS
The Aethos stereo amplifier is housed in a brand new, custom designed case. Employing four 160 W 16 Amp output transistors per channel, this delivers 156 W per channel into 6 ohms. The Aethos is a dual mono design using a custom wound toroidal transformer and regulated supplies for the sensitive amplification and driver stages. The pre-amplifier stage uses class-A discrete circuitry throughout. The Aethos is a no compromise product with one goal, to deliver your music as faithfully as possible.
Design Innovation
Our time, effort and money have 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 direct input and preamplifier output, to enable the new Aethos amplifier to be used in a wide combination of systems. The headphone socket has been integrated such that the speaker switching is performed by the output mute relay as so not to obstruct the signal path and degrade the sound quality.
Rega have taken the design concepts underpinning the multi award winning and hugely successful Elex-R and Elicit-R and propelled the performance to the next level and beyond with a 125watt dual mono design with features such as fully discrete FET based line amplifier, polypropylene capacitors throughout the signal path, K-Power reservoir capacitors, power amplifier regulated supply and a high current output stage comprising of four 160w Sanken output transistors per channel.

"It is a very musical and compelling amplifier that makes you want to listen longer and, dare I say it, louder, which is one of life’s great pleasures after all."

"The choice between Aethos and Supernait 3 was something that a few dealers had mentioned that, prior to lockdown, customers were coming down on either side of the fence on and I can see why. This is a very fine amp indeed and one that joins the ranks of the Highly Recommended."

"By focusing on simply making an integrated amplifier that takes established design practices the company knows work well and evolving them rather than drastically reinventing anything, Rega has produced an amplifier that delivers a well-crafted blend of realism, space and simple musical joy."

"The best-sounding amplifier here in several respects, the clean, smooth and subtly warm nature of the Aethos is quite a thing to hear. It is very detailed, highly rhythmically engaging and –unlike the valve amplifiers – is underpinned by a seriously muscular power amplifier that shows no fear with hard-to-drive speakers or loud dynamic crescendos."

"It is dynamically stronger than the Elicit-R I mention earlier – by large margin – yet subtle and well balanced at the same time. For the money, the Aethos is difficult to fault."
