Tone Audio reviews the Isabella!
“The tonality of the Isabella is excellent. I firmly believe this is due to the lack of grain from power supply artifacts coloring the signal.”
“The Isabella [combined with the Signature 30.2 power amp] will be tough to beat without spending a lot more money.”

Stereo Times reviews the Signature 30.2

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?”

It’s official!
Srajan Ebaen of 6moons has awarded the 4th ever Lunar Eclipse Award to the Red Wine Audio Signature 30.2!
Read the full review.
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.”
The new Signature 70.2 upgrade is reviewed by Mike Smith on 6moons.
“The new 70.2 amplifiers will set the world on fire. Again.”
