REDGUM ‘Audio Pipeline’ OFC RCA Interconnect 1.5m
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):

REDGUM Aquilina (Integrated)
When the Signature Series RGi60ENR first appeared with 75WRMS/ch in 2004 as the upgraded version of the original RGi60, the RGi60ENR offered the transformer, power supply and output stages used in the original (1993) RGi120!
But that was over a decade ago! And the power ‘bracket creep’ has continued! So now it is high time to cut to the chase and name names as to what this RGi60ENR has become in the Amplifolia range – at 120W/ch, the AQUILINA.
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Now SUPERCEDED.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 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 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.”
