Anyone tested/auditioned the RC1580 preamp? Does it sound lean/bright?
I`m interested in this preamp as it has the "HT Bypass" feature

I have yet to hear it but do own its short-lived predecessor, the RC-1082. Other than the "Bypass" feature, I'm pretty sure the layout between the two preamps are identical. The RC-1082 is nothing short of wonderful and presents a warm and very detailed sound. Personally, I like the faceplate better than the newer 15 series. -
Warm midrange and detailed sound is what i`m looking for.... Let me know how it goes when you listen to the RC1082!Originally posted by fozzer424

It's a bit hard to characterize its sound -- or lack thereof. The RC-1082 has been exceptional in letting me hear drastic differences between source components so I suppose it's quite neutral in overall character. I attest this to Rotel's design philosophy which is basically a "straight wire with gain" design.Originally posted by daspacemanComment

I was wondering if anyone knows if you can connect a graphic equalizer to a RC1580 preamp. If so how would it be connected? Tape 1 or tape 2 ? Not sure as there is no tape monitor button .05 November 2019, 18:18 Tuesday -
Hello everybody
I received my Rotel RC1082 from my dealer couple months ago and everything looks fine.
The problem was that the volume knob stopped working and it wasn lit plus sometimes when I was powering on the preamp coupe inputs on the RC1082 were lit on on the listening... -
I had the opportunity yesterday to audition a pair of Paradigm Studio 100s with the Rotel RC1070/RB1070 preamp & power amp combination. My ears were very pleased. However, I am curious about the audible difference that the Rotel RC1082/RB1080 would make with these same speakers. Or maybe going with... -
Several times recently I've experienced a sudden spike in volume from my system while listening at fairly low levels (volume knob at 8 o-clock position on preamp). I'm just listening, and suddenly the volume seems to jump to a maximum, louder than I ever listen at and making me fear for my speakers.... -
Hi, i am looking to upgrade my current pre-amp. I would like to get a solid state preamp that has more of a warm sound to it. I would also like a preamp that does a very good job of soundstaging. I listen to a lot of female vocalists and would like to get a more musical, emotional preamp.
