Item: Redgum Sonofa'GUM 5500 Integrated Amplifier
Location: Clayton, Melbourne
Item Condition: Very good - 4 months old
Reason for selling: Upgraded to a Rega Brio R
Price: $500 $450 including postage
Payment Method: Pickup - Cash, Paypal
Extra Info: I purchased this unit direct from the Redgum eBay store last November. It has been paired with Monitor Audio BX2's, Usher S520's and Wharfedale Diamond 9.1's. With each of these speakers, the entry-level Redgum lived up to its reputation of delivering incredible slam and weight for the price - it's really energetic. Being only 4 months old, the unit is in very good condition, although there are a few points worth mentioning:
  • The paint-job on the top of the unit is a little splotchy, see last pic below.
  • The unit's casing had a slight bow from the factory, which meant it didn't sit completely flat. I ended up fitting a small washer between the case and one of the feet which has fixed the issue.
Apart from that the unit is in great condition. All original packaging and accessories are included, and the unit is still under warranty. Here's a review by our very own Mr Darko: http://www.digitalau...rated-amplifier

Excellent amp, committed vendor, looks to be in top condition (the photo's are brilliant...I'm jealous) and good market based price.

Good luck with the sale.

"attenuate the self-generated reflections" - "to absorb and dissipate"...sounds like a mirror to me and why put one of those on top of a speaker?
