Pictures of your Rotel Set-up

Does anyone know when sending a Dolby true sound track to a 1570 does it light up Dolby True and the same for Master Audio?

Upgraded RC1082?? What did you do to it?

Sorry for the delay

I had a problem couple times with the pre amp with the buttons and I send it twice to my dealer

The second time Rotel decided to replace everything inside (because they didnt have a new one to replace) and put the new parts with the surround chip that exists on the the new model, as they told me.

Here's my work in-progress...

Hi!

I am a Rotel fan from Poland.

Here is my setup:



It is under development as I am going to add RCD-1072 player and RT-1082 tuner also

Best regards

[HDBLU]

Does anyone know if the RSP-1570 when playing a DTS-Master Audio sound truck does it light up on the front saying DTS-Master and the same for TrueHD. all the Pictures I see only say Dolby or pro logic. thanks

[WelshOne]

Yes it does. Have you selected the HD audio format on the disk?

I always set my DVD player to bitstream, and often then have to select True HD ot DTS Master Audio on the BD disk menu.

Hi thanks for your massage.

I am looking in to buying one, I was just wondering if it said TrueHD or Master on the front panel all the Pictures I see do not say it.

I have a 3800 Denon Player so am all good for bitstreaming

Is it a good Sound Processor, I have a Onkyo Receiver Model 803 going to update to the RSP-1570 and the RMB-1575 this should be a nice upgrade.

My setup!

Here is some pics of my rotel setup.

[TommyV]

very nice carlsen. If I may make one suggestion, you may look into mouting your plasma on the wall. I bet it sounds awesome!

What are those things above the two amps on the side?

[Bing Fung]

Wow.. Nice to see this thread still running!

[carlsen]

My setup

Thanks for the response.
The two boxes you are talking about above the amps are Power Conditioners. They are from an Australian company called THOR. They are quite pricey, about $1600 Australian, but each one comes with a warranty of up to $1,000,000 per connected equipment, so they must be confident in their product.

I live in a lighting-strike prone part of Australia, so the surge protection is a must. The conditioners also show the incoming voltage and the correct voltage going out....quite interesting to watch the incoming voltage bounce all over the place, also shows the load on the conditioner and always creeps up when the plasma shows a brighter scene.

The system does sound fantastic to me, the speakers are called VAF, and the two speaker like boxes next to the two front mains are the subwoofers, also VAF. They work as a slave/master pair...and they are supposedly most efficient at 19HZ due to their design according to their engineering dept.

All up, really happy with what I've got until a larger and more efficient screen size becomes available....just a bit frustrated i couldnt get the new Rotel components to match the 10 series, which i personally adore.

My dedicated stereo setup :



The Amps (RC-1090 2x RB-1080) and the Belkin Pure-AV PF40 powerconsole



The Rotel RT-1080 tuner , the Rotel RCD-1072 and the Pioneer DV-989AVi-S

Hoi BWzes03,

nice setup :T

only a question: you with the rotel powerampli into the Puro power AV?

a direct connection at wall for the 2 powerampli give more transparence and bettersound!!

in Nederland je hebt a good and clean "power"!!!

met groeten Style

[TommyV]

Not necessarily. The PureAV and most quality AV power conditioners have "High Current" jacks on the back with minimal filtering. If the power coming into your home is unstable it is much better to run it through these units plus you get the protection from massive voltage spikes that could be caused by many different things and ruin your electronics.

Thanks Style !

I have tested the system with and without the conditioner and I did not detect an adverse effect in stereo field or dynamics....
The main two reasons for using it is : peace of mind that when an indirect lightning strike causes a a spike on the net , I'm 'supposedly' covered by a 300,000 euro insurance from Belkin ... and the other is *ahum* looks an convenience ...

Luckily the system is wired throughout with 4.0mm2 multi-strand copper, and it is connected to an upgraded wall socket fed by 3x 4mm2 double shielded cable from the fusebox.

Hi everybody,

after an absence of 4 years I´m back! In the meantime I replaced my Dynaudio Audience speakers by Monitor Audio RX8 + RX Centre in high gloss black (obviously) to match the plasma TV. Other equipment: Rotel RSP-1098, RMB-1075, RB-1092 (NEW), Panasonic BD-50, Pioneer DV-LX50, Panasonic S10 series Full-HD Plasma, Dali Concept 1 (rear speakers ops: ):

Welcome back, you might want to move your equipment from the heater they usually don't like it.

[Wolfenstein 2k2]

Unfortunately, I cannot move the equipment away from the heater to another room position without rearranging the furniture. Haven`t had any problems with the heater ever since though.

[wettou]

Just a tough, may digital amplification is not an issue

[Wolfenstein 2k2]

Well, the RSP-1098 actually becomes much hotter than the RMB-1075 h:, at least I have this impression if I put my hands on the top of them...

Here is my updated setup. Got a new 1090 and had to move my center to the top of my TV with a bit of a makeshift stand, but it works great. Also, just built a new HTPC that will bitstream all of my FLAC and HD movie rips straight to the TV.

Hello.Thanks.. I really like B&W + Rotel together... First, i bought the RSX-1550 receiver but i had an issue about delay of 2-3 seconds to get the audio... I thought with a preamp i could solve this but.. the same thing.... I'm only thinking to replace my 704 for 804..Someday.. who knows.

I have the same problem with digital inputs. The DAC inside Rotel is simply too slow I think, since I never had this problem with my old Denon 1909. Good way to demonstrate this slowness is to connect ps3 with HDMi and try listening Vidzone. 2-3 seconds blank and then audio with every track. Processor I'm using is RSP-1570 and PS3 is on Linear PCM mode. This is kind of offtopic, but there could be a thread about this too.

[mjb]

Rotel have issued firmware updates reducing this delay, so make sure you're up to date.

Christmas in September

For the last 2+ years, I've been running a Denon AVR-3808CI as a pre-amp, but always considered it an 'interim' solution. Today I took delivery of the Denon's replacement...and it's back to Rotel for me. I previously owned the RSP-1068 and loved it, so after much research and lots of looking, I came back to where I started in terms of a surround processor. While I was at it, I also opted for the RMB-1565 to complete the matched set.

I know how everyone loves pictures of gear, so I snapped a few while unboxing last evening. So far all I've done is unpack and update the RSP-1570's firmware. Over the next few days I will install and configure, and of course, do a LOT of listening...

[Blindamood]

A few more pics...

[Blindamood]

And a few more

A shot of the package containing the new stick-on rings for masking the very bright blue power lights. Also, a couple of shots showing the display when playing SACD (88.2 kHz) and Dolby TrueHD (96 kHz).

Okay...done with pics for now. Time to sit back and enjoy.

[btf1980]

Excellent Blindamood. Thanks for sharing. I much prefer the new Rotel series in black. The silver versions looks too much like Krell. An aesthetic that I'm no fan of.
