 RC 1070
Optimized for the real-world audiophile who demands flexibility and sound quality at an affordable price, the RC-1070 preamplifier delivers an extraordinary level of satisfaction. Featuring traditional Rotel engineering prowess, this unit features a power supply based on a custom-made toroidal transformer. The RC-1070 provides six line-level inputs in addition to a carefully engineered phono input for moving magnet and high output moving coil cartridges. A convenient contour control allows easy and repeatable timbre adjustments. With two sets of main outputs, a 12 volt “trigger ” jack, and a Rotel-system remote control for both the pre-amplifier and a companion Rotel CD, tuner, or DVD player, the RC-1070 brings the flexibility and sound quality of Rotel separates within easy reach.

 RC-1082
Rotel understands the importance of keeping the signal as pure as possible all the way through the electronics chain. We achieve that goal by carefully selecting the components that go into our electronics and in the design of the circuit topology itself. While the RC-1082 is designed for the hi fi purist in terms of absolute musical fidelity, it is also a very flexible design and accommodates up to nine source components including a low noise, high overload MM/MC phono stage with discrete differential input stages, CD, tuner, two tape inputs and three auxiliary inputs. There’s also a media player input located on the front panel to accommodate MP3 players. In addition to its generous input capabilities, Rotel’s RC-1082 is a custom installation friendly device and may be controlled from a remote access point via its RS-232 interface or IR input. The preamplifier includes further features such as a detachable AC cord, discrete on/off remote control command codes and a full-function remote control. Musical, accurate, and accommodating, the RC-1082 preamplifier is the perfect choice for audio enthusiasts seeking the best in hi-fi performance
 
 RC-1090
The RC-1090 is the latest expression of Rotel ’s continuing dedication to providing the finest components for traditional two channel music reproduction. Beginning with a custom Rotel made toroidal transformer, the low output impedance power supply makes extensive use of the new ultra-fast T-Network capacitors. Circuits for each channel follow Symmetrical Circuit Trace strategy to ensure precise timing, pinpoint imaging,and accurate soundstaging. Rigorous parts selection includes metal foil resistors, polystyrene, and polypropylene signal capacitors. The output stage is particularly noteworthy for its high current, low impedance design which provides substantial current reserves for driving even the most difficult interconnect/amplifier combinations. Flexibility? The RC-1090 boasts eight inputs, including a low noise, high overload MM/MC phono stage and a balanced input with XLR connectors. A centrally-located information display provides instant system status checks. Separate Listen and Record selectors provide additional capability. Balanced XLR outputs supplement the industry-standard RCA connections and make the RC-1090 an ideal match for all high performance amplifiers. A programmable remote control, RS-232 interface, two 12 volt “trigger ”outputs, a detachable AC cord, two AC convenience outlets, and discrete on/off remote control command codes complement the RC-1090 ’s exceptional performance.

Moscode 402Au OLT stereo power amplifier Review

George is adamant about the fact that the Moscode 402Au is not just a tube gain stage slapped onto a solid-state power amplifier; rather, it is a tube amplifier with a MOSFET output stage.

Lowther’s DX-65 driver in the Teresonic Magus XR Review

A new driver from Lowther is real news. A new five inch driver is even rarer news, so it was with great anticipation that I waited on this pair of speakers to arrive.

Aune Mini Headphone DAC User Review

The unit arrived from China well packed and everything seem to be in place. No external abuse by the carriers. The only problem was the power supply it came with. The box came with a cheap step-down converter.
