    *** Official Rotel RSP-1066 pre/pro DISCUSSION Thread ***

    LarryB, I believe your statements to be dead on. Being that I am new to all these surround formats maybe you could clarify something for me. It is my understanding that having the 7.1 inputs and outputs would allow a person to add an external processor if they wished. This would allow...

    *** Official Rotel RSP-1066 pre/pro DISCUSSION Thread ***

    Here is the link to the Classe piece. I was hesitant to post it since this is the thread is about the 1066. http://www.classeaudio.com/MulticprS...chprSSP30.html This unit does have 7.1 inputs and outputs and analog bypass. This unit does lack when it comes the latest and greatest surround...

    Marc_E, I do use a Power Wedge Line conditioner for my equipement. I just wanted to point out as everyone stated before my experience could still very well be an isolated incident. The email I received was in regards to the 1065 reciever. All though the 1066 is based upon this receiver it...

    I received the following email from a person who reads the boards. I asked if he minded me posting this information and he did not have a problem. It appears that he had a similar experience with the same background noise I was hearing. Below is his email Neville, > >I presently own a...

    Which amp to buy. ATI or Anthem or something else?

    Assuming the both these amps were well taken care of and in excellent condition I would take the ATI over the Anthem. The ATI I listened to a while back was a very nice sounding amplifier and very well built.

    Just to clarify a point made by LarryB regarding the Classe SSP-30. He is absolutely correct in that this piece does not have all the new fancy surround processing modes like DPLII, NEO:6, etc. This piece does however have 7.1 inputs and outputs. I believe this should allow me to add the...

    O.K. Here is my final input on the Rotel RSP-1066. My dealer has got my business for life after this evening. I called him this morning to discuss the issues and he offered to stop by this evening and listen to the piece with me. He also brought the Classe piece with him. First thing we...

    Thank for the feedback guys. I am hoping some of the experts can elaborate on this for me a little bit. Why would one unit be more susceptible to this "hiss" throught the speakers and other not? And do line conditioner work at elimating this problem or not? :confused: I will disconnect all...

    Noise was present no matter what the input source. I thought about a bad interconnect, but since I couldn't duplicate the noise with my I reconnected my old unit I discounted this. It haven't ruled out a ground loop, but since it went away with my old unit I would have to wonder why this unit...

    O.K. Finally got home early enough to do some listening with my wife. It didn't take us long after both listening this evening to notice that something just wasn't quite right. Last night I had attributed it to possible not being burned in, but I ran it all night and day today at very low...

    Great question Evan. I was wondering the same thing. I could only come to two conclusions. Either the DACs and surrounding components are not significanly better than my older CD player, or the DACS and surrounding components in my CD player are as exceptional now as they were 3 years ago...

    O.K. everybody just relax.;) ;) . I sat down this evening and did some listening for about the last 45 minutes. Rather than trying to listen to all the features I just concentrated on 2 channel tonight. I plugged my CD player into the digital in, as well as analog in and multi-analog in. I...

    Well I just got done setting up this unit. I won't get to actually play with it until tommorrow. First impressions are that the build quality is solid. Typical Rotel. All the knobs and buttons are very firm and solid. The back panel layout is O.K.. Not as intuitive as some others that I...

    Well I have in my possession a Rotel RSP-1066. The dealer is letting me audition it at home until this Saturday. I will take the time to post my comments after I have had a chance to really give it a good listening to. Of course the guys had to make it really difficult on me. As I was...

    Really Bummed and Confused

    I just recently lost out on a used Classe SSP-25 piece. The unit had problems and I was unwilling to take a chance on it. So now I am back to square one.. I have read through the numerous posts regarding the Outlaw 950, Rotel 1066, and the Anthem AVM20. All of these have very strong points...

    The Outlaw 950 - Confessions of a Beta Tester

    Now what am I suppose to do!!!:confused: I have been saving up for several months to finally upgrade my Carver HR-875 receiver. I am currently only using the pre-amp section of the receiver paired with an Outlaw 750 amp. After waiting on the 950 for quite a while I finally came to the...

    Classe SSP-25

    I have a chance to purchase a 1 year old Classe SSP-25 from my local dealer. He says the previous owner upgraded to a Krell system. He is asking $1800 for the system. I would be replacing an older Carver HR-875 integrated receiver with this and pairing it with an Outlaw 750. Speakers a Krix...
