    Rotel 1055 as a pre amp

    I've been thinking of adding a 1075 amp to my system and using the RSX1055 as a pre amp only. I'm wondering, does anyone know if there is a way to turn off the amp section? Is there a fuse for the amp only or can I pull off the power to the amps. I'd like to do this so i no longer get the heat and sonic noise from the amp.

    Maybe I'm wrong, but it has always been my impression that turning off the amps of the 1055 would be a non-issue. In other words, the way I understood it is that if you were using the preouts, they (the 1055's amps) would in effect just be on idle, for lack of a better term, and thus the heat given off would be negligible.

    But, I'm not sure on this, so any imput would be appreciated.

      Right so long as there's no load being sent to the amps they'll effectily be turned off and not generating noise per say...certinaly no more then what's already being generated by the tuner etc so I wouldn't worry about it. I'm currently using a 1055 as a pre amp as well and it works very nicely. I had the 1066 before I got the 1055 and I couldn't really tell a difference.

        I have been fortunate enough to spend a couple days (yes days! lol) at my local B&W and Rotel dealer.

        None of their Pre-amps have the THX surround processing mode, yet all the powerful amplifiers have THX ultra certification. Wonder why...

        Universal Remote for 900 Series Pre Amps?
        by Bluespower
        Can anyone recommend a universal remote (make & model) that works with remote controlled 900 series pre amps? I'd be happy with just volume & mute.

        Receiver vs true pre amp comparison

        I know this could likely have gone in the Club Rotel but I wanted to show people that receivers can make decent pre amps in some cases....

        As luck would have it I am presently lucky enough to own both the Rotel 1055 receiver and the Rotel 1066 pre amp. For those that don't know about...
