blue]Hello Club Rotel members,
I have been reading this board on a regular basis for a few months now but have never posted before. This Saturday I am finally going to order the new Rotel equipment I have been eyeing for awhile :P I want to thank all the contributers on this board because when I originally decided it was time to upgrade I first thought about getting a new receiver (I have a Yamaha RXV795 now) but then after getting a little education from this board about seperates, and then Rotel, I went to the local Rotel dealer for a listen. WOW! What a terrific sound! Since then I have listened to a few other brands just for comparision, some much pricer than Rotel, and to my ears the Rotel is better than anything I have heard to date. I am convinced that Rotel seperates offer the best value for the money and will be a significant step up in sound quality. I am especially interested in being able to listen to multi-channel SACD's and DVD-A's and with the receiver I have now that is not possible.
I am going to order a RMB-1095 and RSP-1098. The question I have is about the RMB-1095 and the ground hum issue a few people have experienced. This will NOT deter me from buying what I think is a fantastic unit for the money, but I want to make sure I get the right unit if there has been recent changes to this model. I believe the design of the RMB-1080 was recently modified slightly, and that change reduced ground hum occurance - do you know if the RMB-1095 has similarily been modified recently and what that modification was? If so I want to make sure the Rotel dealer here orders the latest model with those changes.
I am also going to get a Monster 2600 power center. This is not a high end line conditioner but it should provide good surge protection and I believe also help with grounding. I also bought a $6.99 DC ground blocker and isolation cable from www.cablesandconnectors.com after reading an earlier post here from a member who used that and his problem was solved. So I think I am covered but if there has been any recent changes to the RMB-1095 I just want to make sure I get one of the newer units.
BTW I have Definitive Technology speakers which I love. I found out the hard way the Yamaha receiver I have is not a good match for these and I think the Rotel equipment should be a much better sonic partner to them. I can't wait to hear what they sound like with the Rotel gear driving them!

ops: ). Mine has the clear binding post and doesn't hum a note, but it does carry some sweet tunes.
