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?

The Moles are class D switching amps, run at a very high frequency. As I did the mods, I listened intently for changes at each step. The BG caps extended the high frequencies, making them sound even brighter, but when I added the Multicaps to the output instead of the little stock stacked film caps, the bass improved dramatically and the entire presentation became much more balanced. I wouldn't do the BG input mod without also doing the output mod - I used the Multicaps because they have a flattened shape and can lay across the tops of the switching diodes so I can get the covers back on; other PP caps were just too big to fit into the very small case.
Suspense is killing me. I ordered my Sig 30 on July 3 and received an email from Vinnie last night saying mine should be completed and shippied by the end of next week.
If he's that busy already when scarcely anyone has even heard about this piece, it looks like the waiting list on these will be very long indeed once the word gets out.
Dmason- You've had yours for about a month. What's the latest assessment?
I'm still interested in the tripath chip. I bought a Sonic Impact last year but didn't like it all. I hated the tonality...thought it was very "off" or to put it another way, very odd. Do Vinnie's products correct this?
The Signature 30 arrived at my front door 3 days ago and it is as Dmason says. Fast and gentle sounding. Emphatic about presentation and as articulate as the real thing. Every sound is conveyed as a distinct entity. I can't really support the SET similarity claim due to insufficient personal experience with those type of amps. But I can second the recommendation. This little bugger is sweet and user friendly beyond anything I've ever seen or heard. There is supposed to be a very significant improvement after you reach the 100 hour mark. I look forward to that but honestly don't care if it never happens. This amp is a long term keeper as are my ZU Definitions. I'm all set on wiring and I just picked up Vinnie's wonderful little DAC along with the Sig 30. The only thing I may want in the future is a music server and my buddy Vinnie has that covered too.
Hi

I am interested to hear a fuller review of the amp now it should be fully run in.

Thank you
