Redgum Audio

I have owned the RGi35, RGi120 and RGi120 ENR integrateds and all have been fantastic solid state. I preferred them to the likes of Plinus, Pass, Alchemist and some other heavy hitters.

There is a real rightness to them, especially with higher impedance Zu speakers, though they've been nice with all the speakers I've tried.

I haven't heard solid state offerings from the brands you mention but did prefer them to a Plinius 8200 mkii I owned as well as some of the other units I listed above owned by friends.

The Redgum gear is nice stuff--very musically pleasing.

I did not have a remote for any of the units and adjusting the volume manually is simple.

The sonofagum falls below the rgi35 in their product line and its pretty unfair to judge the company by it. I wouldnt call the rgi120enr bright, but I will freely admit to preferring the standard rgi120 with zu speakers.

That said, I loaned my rgi120 enr to Sean Casey of Zu for several months and he and the other Zu guys seemed to like it, though they preferred the New Pass SIT stuff.
