Know before you buy
Yes, the Brio MK7 features a dedicated moving magnet (MM) phono stage, allowing you to plug your turntable directly into the amplifier without needing an external preamp.
The integrated Rega DAC provides two digital inputs for your digital sources, such as a CD player or streamer, offering a convenient way to integrate digital audio into your analog setup.
With 50W per channel into 8Ω and 72W into 4Ω, the Brio MK7 is designed to handle a wide range of loudspeakers, including many floorstanding models, provided they are not exceptionally difficult to drive.
The headphone output is engineered to maintain the amplifier's high standards for musicality, making it a capable choice for listeners who frequently use headphones for critical listening.
The second power supply is used to isolate the output stage from the input stage, which helps reduce interference and ensures a cleaner, more refined sound profile.
The Brio MK7 is a Class AB amplifier, so it will generate some heat during operation. It includes thermal cut-out and short-circuit protection to safeguard the internal components if it ever reaches unsafe temperatures.
