Description
Rega Solis
The highly anticipated Rega Mercury and Solis pre and power amplifiers have now arrived and, having heard only pre-production examples some time ago, they are far better than expected. In fact, these are very special indeed.
Experience the pinnacle of audio performance with the Solis stereo power amplifier. Designed and hand-built in England, this powerhouse is meticulously engineered for those who demand the very best in audio quality, design, and craftsmanship. Each component has been carefully selected for its superior audio properties, ensuring that every track you play, in every format, is delivered with breath-taking clarity and detail.
Next level performance, zero compromise
Engineered to drive the most demanding of speakers, the Solis is the perfect partner for the Mercury Pre-amplifier. Â Our engineering team have spent the last four years obsessively developing and fine tuning the circuit to create the most engaging and accurate performance. The advantage of using a separate chassis for the pre-amplifier and power amplifier allows the low voltage, sensitive circuitry to be isolated from the high current, power amplifier circuitry. This reduces interference between the pre-amplifier and power amplifier leading to a less noisy signal path and a cleaner signal. Also compatible with the Rega Aethos stereo power amplifier.
