When I was looking to replace my RC-1090 pre (because I thought it got damaged by lightning) I replaced it with a RC-1550. I compared it to the RC-1580 but could not hear any difference using the same amp (RB-1580) so I could not justify the extra $600 cost. I am hearing a possibility of a RB-1590 amp and RC-1590 preamp coming soon. Any truth or just rumor?

Hi Miner,
Rotel RB 1592 has already been released in Australia/New Zealand and is the replacement for the RB1090. I have just checked the Rotel North America website and cannot locate it there, so it may not have been released in the US yet. I have only heard rumours about the RC-15952 although a Rotel rep did mention there was one coming in this interview from last year.

The RA-1592 plays wide and with power.
During the last months,...16 July 2016, 10:56 Saturday -
Hi everyone, i just picked up a rc 1590 and rb 1590 .
My question is, Is it normal to have a noisy off switch on the rb1590 . It sounds tinny when the two pieces are shut off . But the sounds comes from the amp .
It doesn't bother me, i just want to know if it is normal . -
Since the launch of both units there has not been much reviews on them. I would love to see a review comparing the two. I have looked at the specs and one can obviously see that the RC1590 is specced more than the 1570. More inputs, subwoofer out, newer DACs. How does that translate into performance...
