Red Rose Anyone?

Had you ever listened to Cello products, say 3-4 years ago? The bigger Red Rose electronics sound like Cello with tubes to me (i.e., on the warm side of neutral). I only experienced a pre/power combo once though, a S. Yorke TT. Very musical result, so I don't remember much more (i.e. critical reproduction aspects). We listened through Avanti III and Genesis V, and I had the impression we could have moved to more difficult speakers, easily... I DO remember a tough price tag!

My understanding about Red Rose is they do not manafacture or design the electronic products they sell rather they have taken the approach of buying products of small companies and putting there label on them. The Red Rose Petal MC Cartridge for example is a Miyabi Cartridge but at 3k is priced below the regular Miyabi. There electronics have to go thru the red rose markup so they can be a bit expensive but most all other high dollar products go thru a similar retail markup in price thru the more tradational dealer structure. Every product must be judged on its own merits.

Avguy, Red Rose isn't a new company; I am not sure when he started it, but I have known of it for, I would say, a couple years now.
