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.”
Stereophile’s Stephen Mejias Blogs the new 5/5.5 Gen. iMod.
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.”

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.”

The Red Wine/Omega room gets some Big Love from Stereophile. Read Robert Deutsche’s Show Report.
“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! Read 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 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” :-)
