    Question about the RC-1090....

    Hello you guys....

    I have a question about the RC-1090.
    I have a system consisting of the following :

    - RCD-1072
    - RT-1080
    - RB-1080
    - RC-1090
    - B&W Nautilus 804

    While the system performs perfectly and the sound is top notch, I still have one concern.
    I used to drive the RB-1080/B&W N804 with a RSP-1098, which is now in my dedicated HomeTheatre (RSP-1098,RMB-1075, 600 series 5.1 set) and I had to set the volume control to 60 upto 75 in the RSP, while I can only set the RC-1090 to a quarter before the sound is already very loud.

    I understand the RSP-1098 and the RC-1090 are two different beast, being the RC is fully analog and the RSP is mostly digital, but to have such a difference in attenuation is a bit stressing.

    I mean to say, sound from my RCD-1072 is loud when the setting is at 25%, while the sound from the tuner is loud at 15-20%. (I will do some metering with my sound-level-meter later this week)

    Does anybody have the same experience ?
    Is this the same with the RC-1070 / 1082 ?

    Hello

    I just picked up a RC1090 from Audiogon, the unit is in excellent condition and sounds very nice. I had an RC1070 before which always seemed a bit bright to me, the RC1090 is very smooth.

    Anyway the one small downer on the deal is that the seller failed to mention...

    RCD1072 problems...
    by Boombox
    Hi all,

    Maybe this is not the place to discuss this, but I have quite a problem on my hands. A couple of months ago I got me the RDV1040 at an excellent price. My aim was to go for the RCD1072, but I had budget constraints. Times have changed and I am in business for the RCD1072. However,...
