    Rotel web site gone (?)

    Tried to access Rotel's web site today, and all I see is a generic page from the web domain host. Anyone know what the story is? They just revamped the site, so I don't imagine they're doing it again. Maybe they didn't pay their bill...? :lol:

        I see the same thing.

        Maybe they're switching hosting providers, and the DNS switched over before they could get the site set up on the new host.

        When I do a whois on the domain rotel.com, it shows the last update being 1/9/08 (today). So they must have changed the DNS but haven't gotten everything switched over yet.

        I guess they forgot the #1 rule: get the site up on the new host BEFORE switching the DNS records. ops:

          Does anyone happen to know what the original web server IP address was? Current IP address listed in WHOIS and DIG search are redirects to Network Solutions placecard servers.

            Nevermind, found it:



            But be warned that for most links inside you will need to replace rotel.com with the IP address if you want to navigate the site.

              Rotel is probably updating to keep current with their stuff at CES. Which puts them way ahead of manuf. like McIntosh.

                Or add the line: 69.84.158.125 rotel.com www.rotel.com to the HOSTS file on your PC. Then you should be able to navigate the site no problem.

                Just make sure to remove it after the site does switch over.

                  Good point Kevin, so I'll double to suggestion to REMOVE from the hosts file after you are done navigating.

                    Yeah right.. Unless they changed their ways since redoing the site last year, you'll be lucky to get new product info after its shipping.

                        Please check out my site (link at bottom of this post) and let me know what you think, should I add/change/delete anything, Am I heading in the right direction or should I find something else to spend my time on?

                        by dlr
                        John k's web site, musicanddesign, expired on Sep 1st. As many of you know, it contained a wealth of information, much of it is available nowhere else that I know of. Having used it as a reference many times and used John's dipole spreadsheet to design my current system, it would have been a shame to...

                        Rotel's web site relooked
                        by AlvaroD
                        In case you haven't noticed yet, the Rotel's web site is under heavy work :

                        http://www.rotel.com/

                        not everyting is functional yet but I love their new layout

                        Another thing I love is that, we, europeans, will have a dedicated web site soon :P

                        New B&K web site
                        by Blindamood
                        Noticed that B&K has launched their updated web site. IMO, it looks quite a bit better than the (tired) old design they've had, but still a bit shallow on content:

                        B&K Components

                        They've also announced a pretty nice looking new ht processor and receiver at CEDIA...

                        Just got an email from B&W announcing a new Mudbone CD, and at the bottom of the email was this little blurb:
