I just hooked up the Rotel 1077 amplifier and it generates a hiss through the tweaters. I've disconnected everything else and put the amp on a separate power socket from the other side of the room (you never know) but it doesn't help. Though the hiss is small, it gets significantly worse when I connect the 1068 (read: it's there to be noticed) expecially on stereo (multi etc is somewhat better). Any thoughts?

When I got my rb-1090 it produced hissing though my speakers that could be heard throughout the room. I then connected a wire between the chassis my yamaha receiver and the chasis of the amplifier, it completely stopped the hissing. So you can try that and connect a wire between the chassis of your rmb-1077 and some other component, it worked for me. -
Just start grounding things to other things until it may go away. It also could be a defective product. I have seen it before. After hours of troubleshooting of course

I'll give my dealer a call next tuesday. Even with all other equipment disconnected and removed the hiss/static persists, and equally on all 7 channels.Comment

Any of your speakers have built in powered subs?

I have the hiss as well with a loaner RB-1090. The amp has a three prong plug (it is grounded), but I still have the hiss. With my old RB-1070, I had a hum. May try the grounding wire as well to see if that does the trick.Comment

I've managed to narrow down the options.
The very low noise from the 1077 remains. At normal/slightly loud volume levels, it can be heard (mute on/off). Not too much of a problem, though not exactly what I bargained for at € 2,500.
The noise from the CD setting is definitely from the 1068. When switching from any analog to optical input with an optical cable inserted the noise dissappears (1077 noise remains). It doesn't matter if there's an interconnect to the 1068 analog inputs, but it does matter if the optical input is present. Strangely enough, multi channel input does not generate additional noise.
I'll still contact my dealer and in the mean time listen through the optical link, I cannot distinguish it from analog anyway.Comment

My tweaters on the 805s are hissing while nothing is played through the computer via headphone jack.. is this normal? I'm just very nervous on my tweeters hissing because I dont want them to short out or anything from this.. my dealer told me one time only exchange.. next time I'll have to replace... -
Hi guy's
You know, i thought ROTEL would have fixed this problem by now with their Receivers. My New RSX 1057 has the same hissing issue as the 1056 had. You can hear the Hiss from about 3 feet away. But from my listening position you really can't. I sit about 10-11 feet away. But the... -
I read a recent thread where hissing was mentioned. It made me wonder as to how much of this is normal.
With nothing playing, everything on and pre-amp not muted, up to what distance from your tweeter can you hear hissing?
When I listened I could hear a hiss with my ear... -
So I just purchased all new Rotel goodies recently. Hopefully with some background you guys can lend me hand. I purchased the 1098 along with the 1095 and my speakers are Klipsh Reference series...efficient but also quite revealing speakers. I had a Yamaha RX-V1400 receiver originally...no hum and then... -
Well I'm finally setting up an appointment to hear the 1056 this weekend (and the Arcam 200) ... can't wait. Will probable add a used 2 channel Rotel for my fronts.
However, I'm a little concerned because I have been reading a lot about the fact that Rotel products, specifically the...
