Paul & Patrick Candy cover the 2008 FSI Show for 6moons (again)!

"After the show I asked Patrick to pick one overall favorite room and he chose this one [Red Wine/Omega] without hesitation. I asked why and he replied that he loved how Linkin Park sounded, especially the guitars. He said other speakers either smoother over the edges or sounded too bright and thin. Louis' speakers made the guitars sound more real. He also said that these guys are fun to talk to and take him seriously and don't treat him like a kid. I think there's a lesson to be learned here, dontcha think?" Paul Candy, 6moons

Tone Audio reviews the Signature 30.2 and keeps it!

It's official! Srajan Ebaen of 6moons has awarded the 4th ever Lunar Eclipse Award to the Red Wine Audio Signature 30.2!

The new Signature 30.2 gets the big nod from Srajan Ebaen of 6moons as one of his year's Favorites. But wait, there's more;

"Minimalist to the core, with top-notch parts and a deeply tweaked circuit, this amplifier has already sidelined $45,000/pr battery-powered monos, given $10,000/pr muscle amps the fly-bye finger and butted heads with first-rate tube amps. I'll tip my hand and reveal prior to the full review conclusion that the 30.2 will walk away with a Lunar Eclipse Award in the new year, only the fourth one to be given out in our 5 years of operation."

Britain's HI-FI World magazine reviews the Signature 70s:

"The Signature 70s have an astonishingly warm, sweet and open midrange that is every bit as good as, if not slightly better than, many valve amplifiers I have heard." - Adam Smith, HI-FI World

Stereophile's Stephen Mejias Blogs the new 5/5.5 Gen. iMod. Read it HERE.

Tone Audio reviews the Red Wine iMod:

"Whether you are listening to your headphones (via a headphone amp) or in a full-blown system, the effect is not subtle... The iMod has to be one of the best values in hifi today! I can't remember the last time I spent 200 bucks and got this much of a jump in performance."

6moons covers FSI and Red Wine/Omega make a big hit with the Candys! Patrick thought this system was:

"...very easy to listen to. Music was very direct with less stuff in the way and I liked how the guitars sounded. The battery stuff is cool too plus everything is compact so it could fit in my bedroom".

Patrick is reviewer Paul Candy's 13-year old son and budding audiophile. Read the rest of Paul's show report HERE.

The Red Wine/Omega room gets some Big Love from Stereophile. Read Robert Deutsche's Show Report HERE.

"The system being demoed used a pair of the Red Wine Audio Signature 70 monoblocks ($2999/pair), driving single-driver speakers ($2495 MaxHemp or $949 Super 3XRS) from Omega Speaker Systems. The source was a battery-powered computer server, so that the only AC-powered devices in the room were some table lamps. I can't say whether it was the battery power source or some other aspect of these designs, but the sound was uncommonly natural and easy-on-the-ears."

The Red Wine/Omega room grabs a Maximum Mojo Award for "Best Small System" from StereoMojo!

"The combination of the [Red Wine Audio] amps and Omegas was as clear as the Canadian mountain streams. Something about the synergy here is just, well, RIGHT."

The iMod gets an Editor's Choice Award from OnHeadphones.com.

"Vinnie Rossi has taken a tiny iPod and turned into a giant killer"
"There isn’t an iPod on the planet that can compare to this one. Let alone some CD players under $1,500."

The Signature 70 monoblocks get a Blue Moon Award and along with the iMod start a revolution! Red Paul Candy's review on 6moons.

"The iMod is a brave attempt at taking one the most successful personal electronic devices ever to a higher level of performance. Add it or Red Wine Audio's modded Olive Music Server to a pair of Sig 70s and you would have the foundation for a superb sounding, readily portable, minimalist system minus the usual snake pit of power cables and line conditioners. A little revolution now and then is a good thing, no? Viva la revolución!"

The Signature 30 and Olive Symphony Modifications get some love from Sandy Greene in Sonic Flare.

"The RWA Signature 30 and modded Olive Symphony are gathering tons of very positive press and for very good reason. They embarrass just about everything else I've heard near their price range and are way more fun and musical than just about anything else I've toyed with. Both are highly recommended."

The Signature 30 voted "Best of 2006" by 6moons Take 2!

The Signature 30 voted "Best of 2006" by the editor of 6moons!

The Dagago review of the Olive Musica Server Modification by Laurence A. Borden is HERE.

"In my opinion, Vinnie has scored another home run with the modified Olive Musica music server. I recommend it enthusiastically."

Michael Lavorgna of 6moons has just released a new"Road Tour" articleof our custom, all battery-powered system consisting of the Signature 30 RWA modified Olive music server, and the new Omega Open Baffle speaker prototypes. Check this one out!

The 6moons review of the Signature 30 by Srajan Ebaen is HERE!

"The Signature 30 is a true breakthrough... lowering the price of admission and box count significantly enough to belong into our -- still very short -- list of Realsization Award winners... This is one of the three best transistor amps I've heard yet."

The iMod gets mentioned in the Wired.com article titled "Audiophiles Become iPodiophiles":-)

The modded Olive and iMod are both mentioned in this MSNBC column of the VTV show.

"One of those components is the Olive Symphony music distribution/storage/CD player that I recently told you about. Vinnie does lots of modifications that I won't go into in great depth but one that I will tell you about. He changes the Symphony to run on batteries. The unit still plugs into the wall, but when you're listening to it all the power comes from the new battery. Noise coming from your home AC line - and in my home there's a lot of noise - is totally eliminated.The difference is astounding!"
