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:

REDGUM Articulata (Integrated)
The ARTICULATA is the ultimate REDGUM integrated amplifier for those who demand the best. Which is a breeze to attain with 200Wpc on offer. When this Signature Series RGi120ENR amplifier was first created in 2001, it was based on our Award-winning RGi120 but with its output power boosted to 155Wpc. That made its actual ‘slam’ higher than ‘the original’ RGM175 Monoblocks!!! Time has moved on since then; so, too, has its power, accumulating without fanfare. Now renamed as part of the Amplifolia range, it definitely makes the music well worth one!
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 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 Splendens (Power Channel)
As much as we are convinced the SPLENDENS Power channel sounds best playing with its twin brother and sister (the Stereo Passive Preamp), feel free to create your own combinations for Stereo or Home Theatre outings.
When going solo, it is no wallflower. In fact, it can be quite outspoken once let off the leash. With the massive Damping Factor that all REDGUM amplifiers contain, its tight, clean bass is happy to form the pulse of any occasion.
