The Rega Elex MK1 integrated amplifier is a landmark model in the history of the British brand Rega Research.

Introduced in the 1990s housed in the iconic cast-aluminum "clamshell" chassis, the Elex MK1 was engineered to deliver essential audiophile performance—uncluttered by unnecessary features and fully focused on musicality. Built with high-quality discrete circuitry and a minimalist signal path design philosophy, it delivers approximately 35–40 Watts per channel into 8 Ohms. It features an outstanding built-in Moving Magnet (MM) phono stage, making it an ideal choice for vinyl enthusiasts seeking Rega's signature warm, rhythmic, and engaging sound.
