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.”

Put another way … 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.”
This unit is fitted with the Ultra Low Noise Analog Device chip – the AD797. This chip has amazing noise figures when used with low impedance sources, i.e. Moving Coil cartridges!
Though MM/MC switchable, this Signature Series design physically separates the Preamp and the Power Supply into 2 cases thus reinforcing the low-noise design best for MC cartridges.
Made in Australia – truly!

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 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Now SUPERCEDED.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 Magnificata (Power Channel)
The ultimate REDGUM building block, whatever your plan to rule in Stereo or Home Theatre power.
Even when performing on its ownsome, this Monoblock shares everything you expect from the Magnificata Pre-Power System. As assured as an individual as when it plays along with its twin power amplifier, this Monoblock will leave you lost for words. Ah, but your smiles will be most eloquent!!
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.
