REDGUM Stellulata (Integrated)
Nominally now the ‘baby’ of the family within the Amplifolia range, this little STELLULATA amplifier has had plenty of time to mature!
Back when the core REDGUM RGi35 design was upgraded to become the Signature Series RGi35ENR, even that move included the power supply and output stages from the ‘Best Buy Award’-winning RGi60, giving it plenty to ‘knock the socks off’ many 100W/ch mass production brand amplifiers!! Since then the RGi35ENR has put on a little more muscle, so what is now renamed as the Stellulata has a typical output of 60W/ch!!!
Even baby amps like to kick. And, as any self-respecting “chip off the old block” knows, the most junior member of the family is always allowed some latitude when being precocious. So for maximum impact, this kid asked was it better “just to kick”, or “knock the socks off” the opposition? As that generation never takes “No!” for an answer, this amp wanted to do both. And so it did.
Entering the world in 2001 as the REDGUM RGi35 with a well-behaved exterior far beyond it years, it was still full of fun and definitely knew how to kick on command with its 35W/ch. (It left many a 100 W/ch mass-production brand amplifiers battered and depressed.) As it matured in 2004 into a Signature Series RGi35ENR amplifier (50W/ch), it was looking very like that one’s birth-mother, the RGi60, having taken over her original power supply and output stages. (Mum had undergone her own make-over, so there was no mistaking them as twins!)
Meanwhile, with that maturity came the conscious understanding that while an erratic kick is always just a kick, a well-placed one has all the power of a Transient Attack. By then, that attack had increased to the 140W/ch mark, so putting lots of those together truly made Music! It was a revelation!
In fairness, having exercised those energies so effectively for so long, it is time to admit that this baby is one no longer. Now weighing in at 60W/ch, surely it has earned its new name, the STELLULATA – “Little Star”.
Looking heavenwards for even bigger stars to wish upon is a natural part of how future REDGUM dreams take form. Returning back to earth to the here and now, there is far too much satisfying froth and bubble from the youngest kid on the block to even think … might we be missing out on something and have to aim our sights higher?
No matter how little, a Star is a star.
Made in Australia – truly!

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 Dual Mono Remote Control
The world’s only Dual Mono Remote Control
Your new REDGUM Stereo Amplifier will have this unique Dual Mono Remote Control fitted at the time of construction … unless your Inner Purist prefers to manually adjust the Dual Mono volumes. In that case, just let us know that a manual Dual Mono version is preferred.
And it really is just what the family expected! This Remote Control operates like any normal “Vol Up/Down” remote control, as well as giving you full control over both Dual Mono volume controls, if and when you choose. In the meantime, you will give no thought to the fact that it is actually operating 2 separate/Dual Mono amplifiers!
Time to fully express all that glorious imaging that has lain dormant in your music. Till now!
(Released in 2007, retro-fitting to some earlier models is possible, for an additional cost.)
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!!
