Red Wine Audio is the brainchild of Vinnie Rossi, a talented young designer whose new Signature 30.2 Amplifier has just won the coveted Lunar Eclipse award from the editor of 6Moons.

In his review Srajan uses the Rethm Saadhana’s extensively. You can also read my positive experiences of using the Signature 30.2 with Podium Speakers there. The name Red Wine Audio is obviously derived from Vinnie’s own name. It also reflects how music flows effortlessly through Red Wine electronics.

Vinnie was amongst the first to spot the potential of Class T amplifiers and the only designer who has managed to realise their full potential. Class T is a form of digital amplification and the performance of digital components in particular tend to suffer from mains impurities, requiring the use of mains filters and expensive power cables to sound their best. What though if you could avoid the mains altogether?

Vinnie achieved this by powering all his devices from batteries. The Signature 30.2 and 70.2 amplifiers are powered from two sealed (SLA) batteries within their chassis.

The result is a sound beautifully balanced between the warm liquidity of valve amplifiers and the control and authority of solid state amps, without any of the stridency and dryness often associated with other digital amplifiers.

The amplifiers will allow for between 12 and 24 hours of continuous listening. Whenever they’re not in use, you should remember to put them into instant charge mode by a simple push of a button. However, even if you forget to do this the Signature 30.2 and 70.2 amps will detect when the voltage is too low and automatically switch themselves to charge mode.

Vinnie also modifies digital source components such as the famous iPod to bring them to true High-End status. All powered by batteries of course, so even if you have a power failure, the music will play on. Perfect for those romantic evenings! Visit Red Wine Audio
