    eeek going mad thinking of selling Rotel

    Help save me from madness!!

    About once every 8 months to a year I go mad. My idea this month is to sell My Rotel kit and buy a second hand Musical Fideilty A308 pre and power amp. Then play with stereo for a while!!

    Someone bring me back to sanity... Already sold two of my amps Down to 1068 & 985 Mk ii

    ... Okay

    I don't see the problem, part of being into audio is experiencing lots of audio equipment.

    Frankly I love changing out pieces just for fun.

    in fact: I have a buddy coming over tonight and we're going to listen to some
    Linn Speakers as well as B&W 804s / Proceed AVP2+6 preamp and Classe' SSP-600 & Rotel RSP1098 pre's / Classe' CDP-100 CD player and Rotel 1050 DVD & Denon (old school) DCD3000...

    throw in a few different power amps and make it an evening!

    No worries buddy, trade away and enjoy!
    BTW: all the listening tonight will be 2 channel (only)

      Steff MF makes some great gear (I've got one of their amps in my rack at the moment as well). So long as you're not paying full retail for them they'll have strong resale value so you can always come back to the flock later on

        Well...

        I've found a solution

        Kept my RSP-1068 & RB985 mkii and getting a Musical Fidelity A308 intergrated amp and MF A3.24 DAC :-) So this should hopefully all sound good together picking the MF stuff up at the end of the week

            MF have made some very interesting product over the years but I hope the reliability has improved since I was in retail.In the U.K. we used to have a saying :MF ,badly built and badly backed.I have owned a few MF products and liked the sound but was always appalled at the internal build quality.My experiences relate to 80's and early 90's equipment however my experience after 20yrs in hi-fi retail has been that "leopards seldom change their spots".
            Sorry to be a downer guys.

              My Rotel RSX-1058 review
              by rpgonzalez
              I couldn't find any, so here's my 2 cents.

              Ok, so I read a thread:



              And then a reply stated:



              I had seen the press on the new Rotel that featured HDMI audio and video. The Arcam AVR-350 can't, and that really upset me when I...

              Anyone got a Rotel Poweramp they want to sell.
              by booktrunk
              Hiya, I am picking up a 1068 on Friday and was wondering if anyone had a 1075 or 1080 they wanted to sell on.

              EDIT: Actually I would also be interested in a 985 MK II, or a 991, 993.

              I live in the UK, so if anyone in the UK is interested in funding an upgrade to a 1090/95...

              It's been a while since I sold my 1066 it just had a few niggles that annoyed me, even though it was the best processor i've owned.

              Anyway yesterday afternoon at 4pm I became the proud owner of a 1068.
              This morning at 10.30am I picked up a RB 985 MKII and by 2pm had 2 x RB 1070s...

              My Rotel problems
              by yukon.denali
              Folks,

              I have recently purchased a Rotel and B&W system and have been having problems with the Rotel RB-1080 power amp. The RB-1080 keeps blowing fuses.

              My system consists of
              o B&W 703
              o Rotel RC-1090 pre-amp
              o Rotel RB-1080 power-amp....
