Yeah, I pushed the wrong button when wanted to add something and then got distracted. I was going to say that I talked to them a few times, and they were very nice and understanding. Among other things I asked them about modifications, I was thinking about slightly boosting the gain and making a preamp out output. I have an original 16 years old model that doesn't have it. They said it was possible but would cost. I have abandoned these ideas since but not because of the cost. Redgum integrateds have a passive preamp section.
I suppose, there are many excellent SS integrateds in this price range, including LFD, especially if you get them used, but even new. The Redgum I have is slightly on the warm side but it is not warm sounding, very pleasant sound signature. And I really like dual volume controls, that's very audiophile approach.
