Product Description

Housed within our latest half width custom designed case, the Rega Aria Mk3 has a fresh new look and includes two entirely separate, high performance phono stages. One fully adjustable, dedicated moving coil and one moving magnet. Each stage is designed and engineered to maximise the potential of your vinyl system whilst remaining easy to use and set up.

Note: All Rega Aria MK3 MC settings will be factory preset for all Rega MC cartridge models. See Specifications tab for more information.

Technology

The Rega Aria Mk3 is an “all analogue amplifier” with no digital control circuitry. The fully aluminium case screens the internal circuit from any stray RFI signals. Our designers have avoided including any superfluous gadgets as they obstruct the signal path and degrade the sound quality. The Aria incorporates many innovative design ideas including a self-adjusting servo control to keep the MC input circuit at its optimum, compensating for any variations in ambient or operating temperature.

Both stages have their own separate input sockets and input pre-amplifier circuitry. This enabled us to design bespoke input circuitry for each cartridge type without compromise. Signal switching is performed at high level and low impedance (via relays) ensuring there is no degradation of the signal.

MC Stage Design & Features

The MC input uses parallel connected, low noise FET’s (Field Effect Transistor’s) configured as a compound pair. The use of FET transistors ensures there is no bias current flowing in the cartridge coil so as not to upset the delicate magnetic geometry of the cartridge. The MC input has the provision for selecting resistive input loading of 70ohms to 400ohms and capacitive loading of 1000pF to 4200pF. The input sensitivity can be changed by 6dB via the back panel.

MM Stage design & features

The MM input uses low noise, bipolar input transistors also configured as a compound pair. There are two separate power supplies for each channel and further sub-power supplies for each of the low noise input circuits. Nichicon FG electrolytic capacitors have been used in critical positions throughout the power supplies. Polypropylene capacitors have been used in the signal path and equalization networks. Discrete circuitry is used throughout the signal path ensuring full control of the circuit design.

Brand

Rega

When it comes to turntables there are few brands more renowned than Rega. Since its founding in 1973, Rega set the standard with its award-winning tonearms and turntables. Even though the British company is best known for its turntables, it has produced full hi-fi systems since the eighties. Find your perfect acoustic match with their amplifiers, phono stages, cartridges, CD players, and loudspeakers.

Essential to the company’s mission is the idea that hi-fi should not be unattainable. Not only do they have a commitment to producing high-performance products, but ensuring they come at sensible prices as well. Engineering is the heart of all the company’s products through their Rega Research branch focused on finding the design and materials needed to achieve the perfect musical performance. As proof of their commitment to quality, they offer a lifetime warranty on all their products.

Most notable among Rega’s offerings is their award-winning Planar Series turntables, with eight different models varying in tonality, finishes and value. Never miss a single detail in your recordings with the reference Planar 10 featuring trademark ceramic bracing to provide the ultimate bracing for the tonearm. You see that same commitment to sonic excellence in their CD players with precise handling and accuracy ensured with each model.

As a nationally recognized leader in the field of high-end audio and home theater, Overture is a proud dealer of Rega components, selling customers the best components from Rega in Sales Tax Free Delaware.
