REDGUM ‘Audio Pipeline’ OFC RCA Interconnect 0.5m
The Design:
The REDGUM RGAP ‘Audio Pipeline’ OFC RCA interconnect cables are researched, developed, designed and manufactured in conjunction with some of the most knowledgeable specialists in the industry. Designed to provide focus and sound staging, with a strong sense of three-dimensionality, resolution and detail.
Take a listen and prepare to be amazed!
“Audio Pipeline” – the name that has been trusted since 2003 as it makes all the right connections between our products! (And yours, too.)
Available in lengths of 0.5m, 1m, 1.5m and 2m.
The Construction of RGAP RCA Interconnects:
The Centre (signal) conductor comprises of a bundle of 80 cores of 0.09mm Oxygen-Free Copper (OFC) conductor, lightly twisted, and encased in a special foamed polyethylene insulating jacket.
Both channels are then individually screened to a low-noise specification with a 12-section x 9-strand spc braided OFC sheath, designed to achieve excellent RF rejection, very low capacitance and a low noise floor.
The final outer covering is a matte blue jacket with silver printing. The cable is terminated with gold-plated RCA connectors, which feature an easy grip, ergonomically designed barrel, a Teflon insulator, and matching matte blue jacket.
The Result:
The REDGUM RGAP ‘Audio Pipeline’ OFC RCA interconnect accurately extracts the maximum available information from a recording without ever erring towards artifice or over-emphasis. The Low Capacitance results in less high frequency attenuation and distortion.
What you get is a cable capable of clarity and signal integrity even over very long distances. Reproduction spans a broad and unencumbered frequency range with smooth, effortless and seamless integration from very low to very high frequencies, without introducing any unnatural peaks or troughs.
The Technicals:
These are real-world measurements of the totally-finished cable (i.e. including the gold RCA plug terminations):
| Model | Length | Resistance | Inductance | Capacitance |
| RGAP 05 | 0.5m | 0.04ohm | 0.09uH @200kHz | 55.7pF @200kHz |
| RGAP 1 | 1m | 0.08 ohm | 0.18uH @200kHz | 82.3pF @200kHz |
| RGAP 15 | 1.5m | 0.12 ohm | 0.27uH @200kHz | 108.9pF @200kHz |
| RGAP 2 | 2m | 0.16 ohm | 0.36uH @200kHz | 135.5pF @200kHz |
The short Technical version:
Is it a good interconnect? – Yes, it is!

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.”
REDGUM ‘Expressive-Line’ 7AWG Speaker Cable
10 square millimetres of Australian copper per conductor is aka 7AWG! At better than 1.8milliohm/meter, this cable must be one of the lowest resistance cables anywhere! (… unless you are considering our 5AWG Signature Series ‘Expressive Line’ Speaker Cable!)
Its 7AWG will allow your REDGUM amplifier to really show its stamina by ‘transmitting’ the 800 Damping Factor (of the 60Wpc Stellulata) directly to your speaker terminals.
One length of this cable will give better results than bi-wiring with a lot of high-profile brands!!!
REDGUM Splendens/Stereo Passive Preamp
Who wouldn’t want a preamp to pass on exactly what is there!? Adding 0% distortion, 0% noise, and having signal to noise at infinity sounds like Audio perfection … when it comes from a Passive Preamp, that is.
When designing each REDGUM product, we have always made a firm, if not bold, statement about our seriousness by following only well-founded “fads/fashions/theories” that distinctly improve sound quality. (Ed. But that then means they are not fads, etc!) This stance can have its costs in market terms, but REDGUM remains resolute for the people out there with calibrated Ears … who don’t give a damn about such fads, etc., because they are seeking what Hi-End Audio is by definition – HiFi. You know, high fidelity.
REDGUM RGPH2ENR Phono Preamp
So you want to play your vinyl again, but with a more serious approach to it all? The original little Phono Preamp (RGPH2) that was tested in Bound For Sound magazine and rated as equal top unit (with another brand costing several times the price!!) was just the starting point for this RGPH2ENR design.
So does it live up to the title of a Signature Series model? According to the Soundstage! Australia review , ” This baby stays solidly embedded within the context of my reference system.”
