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.
“Power Channel” is a really good descriptor when you are in need of a boost for one of your channels. Quoting “>250W (8Ω)” only gives an inkling of how involving the music (or OST) will sound because what is actually being let loose is Transient Power attacking at a rate of >300WRMS.
Spoiler alert! It can be an abrupt shock to be reminded again of the full meaning of some descriptors of musical sounds …..that “brassy” is what brass sounds like; cymbals should crash, not splash.
The reality is that a double bass note should be made up of the pluck then the sustained note, rather than being heard as one blob. Quite different from deep bass that is actually low enough to be felt, more than heard.
As delivered, to physically jump at the crack of a rim shot (or gunshot) is as much a thrill as to hear the fingerprint of each piano under the fingers of its master. Plus what happens between the notes.
Play the game of “Who hammered those cymbals?”. Or why can I hear the sound of a metal wire flapping against an aluminium flag pole in Ancient Rome*?
A diverting thought, one could say, but is this level of detail absolutely necessary?
Oh, absolutely!
Made in Australia – truly!

* Heard during the scene in the Emperor’s tent in the movie, “Gladiator”. (But the subsequent realistic sounds of throttling are far less pleasant.)

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.”
REDGUM RGS Lucens
REDGUM’s original Floorstanders were released as the RGS38i in 1998 completing our 2 Channel system range. They were the ones that ‘froze’ the downstairs area of the Melbourne Home Entertainment show when we played the Chinese Drum track. The same speaker that had the light fittings rattling at the Melbourne Audio Club hall for the first time in the Club’s history! All good, very clean fun! Now in this era of “makeovers” they have evolved internally into the RGS Lucens Floorstanding Loudspeakers … maintaining the same “body build” but with the added muscle of drivers shielded with dual magnets and consultant-designed crossovers. The family resemblance is more than skin deep … though what a glowing complexion the real Red Gum wood veneer adds to any room!
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.
