REDGUM Magnificata (Pre – Power)
To celebrate REDGUM’s 21st Birthday, even the ‘monster’ of the Amplifolia range can find ways to reinvent itself with a new design, the MAGNIFICATA, aimed at super low impedance speaker loads down to 1 ohm.
As the icing on the cake, try a tripling of its MOSFET power, an increase to 100,000 μFarad per channel, and all Input connectors hand-wired with OCC single strand, solid core Silver wiring. Plus, with auto voltage selection, you can continue partying around the world. Widely spaced, 24 carat gold connectors add that final sparkle to an even higher current amplifier!!
As to the music with all that Transient attack power …
incalculable “Goose Bumps For Grown-Ups!”
Once heard on a REDGUM, such expectations cannot be un-heard!
REDGUM’s MAGNIFICATA amplifier is for when far too much is barely enough. Christened in 2004 as the Signature Series RGM300ENR* System, this is what happens when the head of the household steps out with a newly-upgraded adult identity. No hint of an ego in naming itself the MAGNIFICATA Pre-Power Monoblock System on the occasion of REDGUM’s 21st Birthday! Still “on song” at its sonic core as an Australian-made Amplifolia amplifier, now it has lots more to sing about while supporting super low impedance speaker loads down to 1 ohm.
What used to be the RGM300ENR’s 400 400WRMS** delivered by its high voltage/high current transformer is now powered by a slightly-lower high voltage and even higher current transformer. Translation: >350W/ch (8Ω); >550W/ch (4Ω); >900W/ch (2 Ω). And you thought you were past wishful dreaming!! Its individual Test Report will be something that only you can brag about.
To grow up to be the master of all means putting on a bit of muscle. Being a flagship amplifier, the MAGNIFICATA has more the weight of a boat anchor (52kg/113lb) as it now sports a distinctive stack of 3 SignWave heat sink chassis. That additional body sculpting lets the 24 double-die MOSFETs, each 250W, do their thing in a very relaxed fashion, direct coupled as they are. Which is another way of saying that the Damping Factor of the MAGNIFICATA has tripled. And to let that tight bass free, the total capacitor value has been increased from 40,000 to 200,000 μFarad.
Though attracting less attention on the rear panel of its Stereo Passive Preamp (ex-RG300p), some bling has been added with widely-spaced 24 carat gold connectors allowing thicker interconnects and bigger connectors more room to elbow in. Even less visible, its inner bling still makes it trill with all Input connectors hand-wired with OCC single strand, solid core Silver wiring. Which leaves one final hidden feature that you will never even know is happening at turn on – Automatic Voltage Selection!
Too much attention to detail only at eye level? Don’t let this manly aura distract you. At ear level, be rendered almost speechless by its Stunning! sound. Fortunately, one word will remain with you to utter – “Magnificata!”
* Rather than being just a dreamy twinkle in the eye for many years, REDGUM’s first 300 Watter was built in late 1993, appearing as its second design. Fitting, then, over 21 years later, that a further metamorphosis of this 300 Watter forms the basis for REDGUM’s Big Birthday release.

REDGUM RGiHF Headphone Amplifier
For that “up close and personal” experience – the REDGUM RGHF Headphone Amplifier is based on our RGi35 circuit design with substantial adaptation to the power supply.
This amplifier has also been modified to limit background noise to unprecedented “inky black” levels. Of all applications, a Headphone amplifier makes optimal use of Dual Volume controls as offered here – the volume level to each ear is chosen and provided in absolute isolation via each channel. Sound, “made to measure”, just as your RGHF will be “built to measure” to suit your headphone’s sensitivity … “up close and personal” from the start of its life!!
REDGUM RGCD5ENR CD Player & RGDAC5
Now SUPERCEDED.
But if History is your thing, read on because the Signature Series RGCD5ENR and its DAC, the RGDAC5, were first released in 1998. In fact, to be more accurate, how they have evolved into the RGDAC8 actually started back in 1997 with what was known as the “Ugly DAC-ling”. (This was due to its lack of a drive so it had to be given its ‘5’ a little later.)
Looking back to the story that continued on into 2019 …
REDGUM RGPH2 Phono Preamp
So you want to play your vinyl again, huh? Yes, a great way to start is with this little Phonostage that was tested in Bound For Sound magazine and rated as equal top unit (with another brand costing several times the price!!).
And, if you ever doubted that you could cope again with that pre-eminent downside of records (having been spoilt by CDs) …. as one customer puts it … “it has the ability to present record noise, clicks and pops and the like in a divided away space in the soundstage. Clicks and pops sound very clean and there is absolutely no trace of extra ringing or harmonic irregularities in the source material due to them. This is a wonderful result! The subjective outcome is the listener’s ability to get on with the music without having the inevitable surface noise getting in the way.”
