Rega Brio-R vs Elicit-R


Hi all!

im considering upgrading from my Brio-R to an Elicit-R. Has anyone else made the same jump - could you share your impressions? Significant? Different? The same but better? No difference?

my speakers are Wharfedale Diamond 10.7, and Rega RS5. 
Thanks all!

I am taking my Rega system into the local store to sell on consignment tomorrow...

Elex-R amp
Rega DAC 
Rega RS-7 floor standing speakers
Some Rega fans prefer the sound of the Elex-R over the Elicit-R.

The Elex-R sells for around $1000 used and is an excellent amp for that price. 
I would also audition the two other more expensive Rega amps just to get an idea of the changes in sound quality as you move up the line...
Leemaze,

I have two systems. I started upgrading one (moving away from SONOS streamers) which created a whole new journey down the rabbit hole of slowing upgrading everything. I landed up buying and later selling different things in a quest to get my digital sound as satisfying as my turntable set up. 
In the system (used to be Rega) I now have a Linn front end, Pass Labs pre, Pass Labs amp and Spendor D9 speakers.

I have heard four amps in the Rega line. I found the Elex-R was the sweat spot for the money. I have not listened to the new Aethos though.

I like the Rega sound. I find Rega is one of those brands the benefits from a system being all Rega.
