Rega Maia 3 Class AB Power Amplifier; 85 Watts Per Channel into 8Ω, 130 Watts Per Channel into 4Ω
This amp looks and sounds great. I give it an 8 out of 10 for age and for a minor blemish at the right-most edge of the faceplate (see photos). Original packaging and owners manual included.
Marketing Info and Specs:
The Rega Maia 3 is a high performance class AB audio power amplifier housed in the Rega custom built extruded aluminium case. It delivers 85 watts per channel into 8 ohms, 130 watts per channel into 4 ohms. The amplifier has a fully protected output stage with DC and electronic thermal protection, and a power monitor for both transformers. High quality Evox capacitors have been used in the signal path throughout.
The Maia 3 uses the Rega "common base driver stage" circuit design. Rega used circuit modelling and listening tests to design this amplifier resulting in superb reliability and exceptional sound quality. Sanken 200w output transistors are used in a high current output stage and will drive the most awkward of speaker systems.
The power supply uses two generously rated toroidal transformers with 28,200mF of parallel connected smoothing capacitors, which will provide enough current to drive the hardest of loads.
