Have you tried Red Wine?


I have been using a Red Wine Audio Clari-T amp with my Zu Druids and a sub. Fantastic performance. Without the sub I felt it was quite good but a little wimpy on the bottom. Now I have big time performance from an inexpensive battery powered low power amplifier. I would like to know if others have had similar results and has anybody tried the new Signature 30 I'm thinking about buying?

I prefer the Cabernet Mono's on my Crystal speakers, however the Merlot Integrated on the Tulips is quite piquant as well.

sorry I couldn't resist.

I have a Clari-T driving my Bastanis Prometheus... it's a perfect match because the Prometheus have powered woofers so the T amp doesn't have to handle the bass (which is a known weakness). I'll probably upgrade to the Sig 30 once funds permit it as the initial reports sound very positive. Most likely that'll be after I get a chance to hear it for myself at RMAF later this year.

I just received the new Signature 30 on Friday. Even though T amps are supposed to sound ratty out the gate, this one didnt, and it is improving almost hourly to reveal a sound that actually mimics a very good SET type presentation in terms of liquidity and the overall single ended gestalt, minus the dimensinal cues endemic to single ended triode amplification. Its ability to provide a new level of amp resolution, while infusing the material with a new level of energy is astounding even in the early going. SET amps don't come close in the bass energy dept., and this thing has the rise time of fork lightning, but tempered, and warmed by a pair of 2.5uF Jensen/Audio Note coupling capacitors. The amp-board is custom designed and built as well, and the outcome is really stunning. I am using Omega SuperHemps, and Visaton B200's, -two per side, on open baffle.
Have the little "baby" integrated (6 watter). Cool product. Punchy, revealing. Ordered the new "big brother" (30 watter). Will have in a few days. I use with Omega. I'll let ya know my impressions in a few weeks.
Can anyone comment on how do these amps compare with other "Class D" or switching amps, such as the ICE, UcD, and Nuforce products?
