So I suggest that this part of the conversation is dropped unless we either hear it from the engineer, or something jars John's memory about the specific noise the engineer spoke of.
Steven: Sorry, but my memory is just fine, thank you. For someone who seemingly wants to drop the 1066/noise issue, you sure keep bringing it up enough.
Since you don't seem to remember the chronologic events concerning noise and the 1066, here they are one last time.
1. About 6 weeks ago, during a social event I had the opportunity to talk with the husband of a good friend of my wife's. He is an engineer and has been involved in the design and building of the 1066, among many other components. We were casually discussing how few low cost/high value preamp processors there are, and he said that people just don't understand the complexity involved in building a very nice, yet inexpensive unit. When I asked about the 1066 and its' availability, he said that the release may be delayed because they were having problems with the noise floor. That is all he said, nothing more. And I didn't ask any more about it either.
2. During a conversation here on HTF folks were discussing the near release date of the 1066. I shared with you what the engineer had said concerning the delayed release and that was that.
3. The 1066s are released and I get one to evaluate. Immediately, I detected the noise and knew something was wrong with my unit. I took it back to the dealer and we tested his only other unit which exhibited the same noise. Of course, we know now that Rotel has recalled the 1066 to fix the problems.
4. Sound and Vision reviews the 1065 reciever and also finds that it is noisy.
That's it. Hopefully, Rotel can fix the problem and the 1066 will be the panacea that you all seem to think it should be. We can never have enough good, low cost, preamp processors.
All I ask is that next time someone trys to share some information with the folks on HTF, you don't kill or defame the messenger. NOW, let's drop this issue till the new Rotels are in our hands and we can review them. OK?
I also would like an admin to jump in here and edit the posts where people lied about me or about what I've reported. I think we all agree that these type of personal attacks should not be tolerated.
I'm also interested in the tuner options for connecting to the 1066.
Craig,
From where you live, how hard is it to pull in stations?
Do you live in an area surrounded by tall buildings?
Do you need a remote controlled tuner with presets?
Would you consider buying a used tuner?
What is your budget for a tuner?
I am absolutely done wasting my time with you LarryB. I am placing you on my ignore list here on HTF
I am in full agreement, and have already done the same.
