Integrated Power Amplifier
Mark Levinson promised to make the finest sonic quality available to the wider audience. His new com-
pany, Red Rose Music, offers products which fulfill this commitment. These new products are affordable,
compact and easy to use. Red Rose Music's new range of ribbon speakers and solid-state amplifiers are
destined to become modern classics.
The Red Rose Passion Integrated Power Amplifier surpasses high end audio reference electronics costing
10 times the price. Passion offers breathtaking sound, awesome power, elegant design, ultra-low noise and
ease of use. The bulk, cost, heat and complication of typical reference electronics is eliminated. Passion
brings effortless beauty, authority and vitality previously unattained in music listening.
The Passion reflects a minimalist approach with just three controls: on/off, input selector, and volume.
Since the unit can be left on, the listener only has to select one of four line level inputs and adjust the
volume. A headphone jack provides a convenient outlet for private listening.
The Passion Amplifier is ideally used with a pair of Rosebud MKII or Classic speakers, Silver 1 intercon-
nect, 336 speaker cable, and an SACD player. A turntable system is highly recommended.
The matching Rosette 2 Phono Preamplifier is available for listeners who want superlative results with
vinyl record playback.
RRM recommends that listeners use SACD's and LP's as sources. Limitations in the PCM operating system of the
CD typically cause irritation and dissatisfaction that cannot be overcome. Sony's new SACD format, based on the
DSD operating system, does solve this problem, provided that recordings are not made with PCM processing.
