I just purchased a Rotel RA-1062 integrated amp with the RCD-1072 CD player. I connected them to a pair of Pennaudio Rebel 2 speakers with Audioquest Type 4 speaker cable. I have all the components connected to a PS Audio Juice Bar outlet. I played a some CDs on the first day and it seemed to be working fine. On the second day, I started getting some static or crackly sounds from the right channel. It happens sometimes in between songs or during a song. It also happens when I raise the volume to about 7 or 8 oclock on the amp.
I checked the connections on the speaker cable and the interconnects and they are all connected properly. I switched out the interconnects with a pair of Monster M550i to test and I still get the static from the right speaker channel. So I switched the speakers around and I still get the same static sound from the right channel. Finally, we turned off the speakers via the Speaker Selector switch on the amp and plugged in some headphones and we still got a static or light popping sound from the right channel.
We even switched outlets by plugging the 1062 amp directly into the wall outlet rather than the PS Audio bar and still got the same results.
Is it the CD player or the amp that could be causing it? We just barely bought it from a local dealer and now it seems we have to pack them up and get an exchnage already..hopefully.
