RWA amp with DODD preamp both battery powered
Panu21,This article mentions the 30.2 with the Quad 57s:http://www.thestreet.com/story/10411968/1/a-stereo-amp-that-packs-a-punch.html?puc=newshomeNot sure if your 22L's are harder to drive, but I doubt it because the 57s are supposedly the most c...

i forgot to give a 'thank you' to Mrjstark for all the info regarding the Dodd. i am sure it is very good - - especially with the battery powerd RWA 30.2! Nate 
Which preamp Dodd or Cary slp-98L
I'm with Jeff! Wait for the Red Wine Isabella and then decide. i just read a post on vinnie's forum and it looks like it'll be ready in just a couple of weeks and the 6moons review will shortly follow. Based on how good vinnies products sound and ... 
2-3K, Integrated or Seperates
>I'm thinking of using this system in a relatively small space with stand or shelf mounted monitors.Hi Bmdduck,Definitely take a peek at the Red Wine Audio Signature 30.2:http://www.redwineaudio.com/Signature_30.2.htmlIt is definitely one the v... 
an amp without "electronic" sound
Hi Chris,Take a look here -http://www.redwineaudio.com/Signature_30.2.htmlThis is the one to beat as long as you do not need hundreds of watts of power for inefficient speakers.-Nate 
digital Amp. Going green
With the new RWA amps, they feature a SMART module that automatically turns off the amp if the battery voltage drops too low, so you dont have to worry about accidentally killing the battery. I believe the life of the battery is 2 to 4 years and t... 
digital Amp. Going green
Jeff, you hit the nail on the head. The 30.2 really is in its own class. Like fine wine, it got even better with time. After going through so much equipment it is nice to find a keeper! and no more heat from tubes this summer.-Nate 
NuForce vs Red Wine
Paul,Just curious did you hear the RW signature 30 or the new signature 30.2. The 30.2 is a big leap forward vs. the original 30 in many regards. I have also heard the new NuForce amps (Ref 9s). I wont say they were that bad sounding but the RWA i...

Srajan, your review of the 30.2 is so SPOT-ON!!! Thank you and 6moons for all that you do. Now I know what a Lunar Eclipse sounds like. -Nate

hey Abramsmatch,Nice write up!You wrote: the gibbons 8's were a touch forward and thinner/more 'neutral'/revealing than I'm used to. man I am using the RWA 30.2 with DeVore Super 8's and the combo sounds damn good! Two words come to mind are music...

Yes the editor of 6moons has reviewed both pieces. Both were great reviews but the Red Wine 30.2 won the Lunar Eclipse Award and this is rarely given out. See:http://www.6moons.com/audioreviews/redwine8/302.html

Hey, unless you have actually listened to the Signature 30.2 (I own one) and compared it to chip amps your comment does not hold weight. Having owned a few gainclone chip amps - and I won't list the names of the manufacturers - as well as tube amp... 
Looking for a summer time amp
This is the best one I've heard for under $2Khttp://www.redwineaudio.com/Signature_30.htmlITs 30 wpc into 8ohm, but doesn't mind 4ohm. At 4ohm I think it is closer to 50wpc. I own the Signature 30 and have no desire to try anything else. Vinnie at... 
Whose got best class D at this point?
Chazzbo,I purchased the Red Wine Signature 30, and after trying many SS amps in the past and not being totally satisfied especially with the class-D amps, I can now say my search is finally over! this amplifer sounds nothing like any class-D. It i... 
Opinions on SS amps
Peter,With 91dB speakers you should highly consider the Red Wine Audio Signature 30 or Signature 70s. They are very musical and battery powered so no power line noise. If they were in fancy enclosures and not sold factory-direct, I'm sure they'd b...
