Signature 30.2

Digital Audio Review’s John Darko compares and contrasts the Signature 30.2 LFP-V Edition to one of his 300B single-end picks. You may be surprised at what clean, fast LFP battery-power does for vacuum tubes!

“Red Wine Audio have made a near-flawless integrated amplifier that unflinchingly nails the holy trinity of detail, tube-like euphony and fast, tight bass… effortless, majestic, powerful and delicate. A stunning achievement.”

“Truly a sonic tour-de-force and NOT just at the price. This may be the finest all-around integrated I've heard.”

“Elegantly simple, functionally flawless and sonically whole, I couldn’t pass this one by. At the price, it strikes me as an utter sonic triumph and serves to remind me daily that different isn’t always better, though sometimes it very definitely is”

“Of all the amplifiers that I’ve tested in recent years, the Signature 30.2 is one of the best. Period.”

“The 30.2 offers one of the most musical presentations at this price point… the 30.2 delivers the goods!”

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.”
