Red Wine Audio

Red Wine Audio

Oct 10, 2008

At last year's CES, the crowds surrounding the Red Wine Audio room were so large and enthusiastic that I had very little opportunity to speak with Red Wine's owner, Vinnie Rossi. Here, at the Rocky Mountain Audio Fest, I decided to beat the crowds and make Red Wine Audio my first stop.

What a great system..

I received my issue of Stereophile this week and like the others it's a keeper. As I looked through the recommendations for equipment I have to say that I was astounded at some of the prices for equipment. At some point the law of diminishing returns has to kick in but I guess if it makes you happy to spend $100K for a turntable than go for it.

Better than components that cost twice as much!

Open letter to reviewers: When you use this phrase or one of its many variants (e.g., "The SuperMegaEconForce10G-X Speakers sounded better than some speakers that cost twice as much!") can you please identify what it is that costs twice as much but doesn't sound as good?

There are apparently hundreds of these items out there (I'd say about 1 item for every 2 reviews), and I'd like to know I'm not buying them. That is all.

I'm hearing stuff I've never heard before! I'm making out lyrics that I didn't know before, and other musical details. It's a knockout! I do it by listening to my big rig, my little rig, my iPod, my lousy computer speakers, my mediocre car stereo. Clearly - different systems have different responses and some of those different peaks in response (and other system variations) will differently expose parts of the music.

I would rather go to the dentist than go to the airport. I would rather go to the gym than go to the airport. I would rather go to <i>church</i> than go to the airport. The entire process&#151missing your train, waiting, waiting, getting there, finding your way around, checking in, going through security, getting undressed, removing your laptop, showing your identification to three different people, submitting to an additional random search, collecting your things, getting dressed again, sweating, crumpling your papers, making your way to the terminal, waiting, waiting, waiting, boarding the plane, waiting some more&#151is exhausting. But you know this. The flight was smooth, though terribly uncomfortable; either I have gained more weight than I realized, or planes are getting smaller.

Well Tempered TT Problem

I have a well tempered turntable...the original "classic"... and have developed a "continuity problem" in the arm's wiring. Apparently one of the cartridge leads has broken, somehow, inside the arm. I am sure that repairing this is not something for me! I have attempted to contact well tempered at their website and my calls and emails are not responded to. (http://www.welltemperedlab.com/frameset6.html)

Does anyone know who I might turn to in order to get the arm wiring replaced/repaired?

Thanks,

Greg
