    HEY...ROTEL howz about some REAL QC

    I just purchased a new 1068 in the factory sealed box.As soon as I pull it out of the box I noticed the plastic film that covers the display was half removed.This film had a 1/2" in gash that went through the film and into the display.Its very obvious that someone looked at the gash and thought they would pull back the film and look to see if the display was also gouged.Evidently they concluded it was not bad enough to warrant any further attention and stuck it back in the box.If the unit just had a gash in the plastic it could be explained as an oversite.Since it was pulled back just past that point and had finger prints on the display its obvious it was noticed but someone decided it was O.K. to them.Rotel makes great sounding products,really, but QC has to mean Quality Checked and APPROVED.

    My dealer which is a stand up guy said they'll order a new unit but I hope it don't cost them for ROTEL's poor QC. Just a note that this box had a green sticker and a QC stamp so QC ain't what it should be.Maybe they need TWO QC stickers.

    My 1068's had worse problems..

    I just got a replacement 1068 today that wouldn't even power up in front of the dealer.

    This is now 6 total faulty units I've been through. Maybe I need to go to church?

    Although your issue is absurd, I'd trade my whole ordeal for your cosmetic damage any day.

        life with rsp 1068 vs 1066 vs 1098
        by rosros
        In feb I had a chance of comparing side by side the rsp 1098 with the rsp 1066. at the time, I was thinking about upgrading from the 1066 to the 1098. the rsp 1098 was a loaner from my rotel dealer. I had the 1098 for one week. Although the 1066 is a wonderful unit, for my usage, ultimately, it was...

        How much should a student first time film cost?
        by oldbob
        In answer to my own question, I would say between $10,000 and $40,000 dollars. It used to be more but digital has drastically lowered the cost while at the same time making it much easier to produce a professional look.

        However, this isn’t a story about reasonable. This is the true...

        RSP-1068 standby mode & optical input glitches
        by rofafor
        I upgraded my hifi gears to Rotels in June. The RSP-1068 was an obvious choice and tested it with RMB-1075 amp too. However the RMB-1075 and my speaker setup (Amphion Argon 2) didn't bring the same feel of sensation as Genelec active speakers, so my RSP-1068 is now connected to a nice set of Genelec...

        ? on 1068 Display
        by Pez
        I am new owner of the 1068 and had a question on the display. Sometimes (I think when I am watching a digital source) there is a number on the right hand side of the display which usually reads 48K. Just wondering what that number is since I cant find anything in the manual.

        Than...

        Does RSP-1068 support 176 kHz dig. in ?
        by bwa
        I'm one of the first Norwegian RSP 1068 owners :T

        Got the box in last nigth, and has only 1,5 hours of use so far. The firs thing I tried to was to connect my Phillips 963 SA to the dig.in on 1068, with upsampling enabled. But the sound was terribe and the 1068 display says 192 kHz....
