    What Pre-amp do you use with RB-1080 besides Rotel pre-amp?

    Hi,
    I am curious whether you use different pre-amp with rotel rb-1080 besides rotel pre-amp. What is you opinion?

    thanks.

    I'm using a yamaha rx-v 657 to run my rb-1080 running paradigm studio 100 v3's. I'm waiting until rotel releases its new multichannel pre amp that will support all the new upcomming formats. For now the rx-v 657 is doing a darn good job.

      IK use the ultimate in silent pre-amps. It's called no pre amp. My Shanling CDT 100a CD player has digital volume control so I run it DIRECTLY into my RB 1080...... sweet

          RX1052 as preamp with RB1080
          by b&w fan
          I just bought a RB-1080 power amplifier (not in yet) which I am going to coupled to a RX1052 receiver that will work as preamplifier. I delayed the purchase of a dedicated preamp just to reduce the pressure on my cash flow. My speakers are a pair of B&W 703.

          Do you think that using...

          Rc1070 And Rb1080
          by gymguymass
          I am in the process of ordering the RC1070 stereo preamp and RB1080 power amp, and am curious if anyone has any recommendations for interconnects and speaker cables. I currently own a pair of Mirage OM10 speakers. My music tastes run from rock (Metallica, Guns n Roses, Tool, etc) to female vocalists...

          Rotel RB1080 Question
          by kitjv
          I plan to pair a set of Paradigm Studio 100 v.4 main speakers with a tube preamp & Rotel RB1080 power amp. As a source, I will likely go with either a Rega Apollo or Cambridge Audio 840C CD player. Not having the opportunity to audition many other power amps with this setup, I would appreciate...

          Turns out I was hooking my Yamaha rxv-2095 up as a preamp correctly. They sold me a dead amp!
          by BKSinAZ
          As most of you know, I just bought a RMB-1095 amp today...new in a sealed box. My first Rotel product. When I took it home, I attempted to hook my Yamaha RXV-2095 receiver up as a preamp to the RMB-1095. I thought I was hooking the Yami up incorrectly, but from reading the post it turns out I was doing...

          Connecting pre AND prepro to RB1080
          by hitek57
          Hi all,

          As mentioned in my earlier post, I just added an RB1080 to power my front speakers. And the result is, in a word, WOW. Soundstaging, detail and bass oomph are much better than with my other, ageing power amps -- B&K ST2002 and Marantz M500 monoblocks.

          I have...
