View offers Integrated amplifier | £2000 | whf.cm/RegaElicitMk5
Say the name Rega and it’s the company’s long-running range of Planar record players that tends to come to mind. These turntables have been a dominant force in the market for more decades than we care to remember and show no signs of relinquishing their grip. Yet, look past those all-conquering vinyl spinners and you will find that the British brand has been steadily making a range of amplifiers that is almost as talented for almost as long.
The new Elicit MK5 on test here is one step down from the Award-winning Aethos integrated (£3300) and marks a surprising change of direction for the company’s amplifier designs.
