    RB-1090 seems to veil high frequencies ???

    Anybody who heard or who owns the RB-1090 noticed veiled high frequencies ? After changing my speakers, my CD player, I'm down to the last 2 possible causes that seem to veil my high frequencies : My RB-1090 amp, or my Arcam FMJ C31 preamp. I posted same question on Arcam forum, and here I'm doing same for the amp to try and find out which. Thanks.

    I installed a 1090 (on loan from a V good freind) in my system about two months ago, replacing recently factory refurbished 200 wpc RB-990. If anything, the HF are resolved with greater accuracy, clarity and what I will call 'shimmer'.

        Check your pre. That amp should force even marginal speakers to cough up some decent highs.

          Glad you are enjoying the 1090 Bill!!!! :T

          Though I'm afraid soon here I'll be needing it back. Maybe in another month or two. But I have a 1080 that you can use until you get yours. 8)

            What! Uh? I can’t hear you!
            The 1090 is running.
            Did you say something?

                4 CD Players Compared Arcam, Consonance, Denon, Consonance.
                by cafad
                Over the last 5 years I have, for various reasons, come into the possession of 4 different cd players (details below). Now I wouldn’t be a budding audiophile if the idea didn’t occur to me, eventually, to find out which one of them was the best. I googled each of them to get the technical specs,...

                Rotel Michi RHB10 vs RB1090
                by obiwan
                Hi people,

                When I had my Dynaudio Special 25's I changed from my Rotel Michi pre/power (200W) to the BelCanto eVo2i (120W) integrated. I felt that made the sound warmer, more pleasant.

                I now have the Dyn Contour S5.4's and the other day got out the old Michi and used the...

                Bought an arcam
                by jayman_1975
                Hey all. After a couple months or so of searching for a new receiver I have finally pulled the trigger on an Arcam avr300. I went to my dealer(190 miles away) and finally got to listen to some stuff. I compared it to a NAD T754, T744 both new and a Arcam avr100 used. The avr100 was noticably better...

                by Joey_V
                Today, I just got back from hearing the 1090 and 1091/1092 amps duke it out with the BW802D... side by side. I must say, I preferred the RB1090 by a good margin. I thought that the 1090 took better control of the 802D in ALL aspects, from the bass to the diamond tweeter. The 1090 had greater stage...

                Offloading low frequencies from your floorstanders
                by bigburner
                For those of you who have floorstanders and a subwoofer, how many of you offload the low frequencies from your floorstanders so that they only play through the sub when you are listening to 2-channel music?

                In my system my ASW750 subwoofer is wired in between my preamp and my amp so that...
