I just got back from another hiss audition.Every unit I listened to 1056,1067,1068/1075 amp has the same problem,hiss in all speakers in 2ch stereo mode,even with center,surr,speakers set to none.For me this is no longer an if,but a WHY issue.My local dealer and I did an extensive evaluation of ALL his units and they all have the hiss.Even my dealer was surprised as he thought maybe it was my unit, ics,power etc..When he heard this for himself with his high dollar cables,conditioners etc..he admitted its there,no dispute.He was very nice and understanding of how this could bug people and promised to contact Rotel an inquire about why,and if this can be remedied.The reason I posted this is I think everyone concerned should contact Rotel and ask if this is going to be corrected.I want to be the first to say that even with the hiss I still think the Rotel has a great sound,much better than run of the mill avrs.So I'm not bashing in any way,I like my Rotel so well I want this issue resolved so it can reach its full sonic potential.I should also say that these test were done on a variety of B&W speakers with the best displaying the hiss the worst.

Rotel's already stated that there were some early units with this problem and that they have corrected it. I'm sure if you're having this issue with any of your gear you or your dealer can contact Rotel to have it corrected under warranty. Bob, I'm sure your dealers equipment is likely some of the early production models.

Hey all!
I'm a first time Rotel owner, been eyeing the RSX since the introduction of the 1065. First off, I did find a good amount of info on the hiss/pop issue amongst the threads, but didn't find much info on my questions and issues specifically so I decided to start a new thread,... -

I am VERY concerned about this, i will be getting a unit from my dealer to audition this week. Is this true what i hear about there being a HISS with the newer models, and rotel acknowledges... -
Okay I hate the fact that I have to buy Rotel from a Rotel dealer in my area. Here's the prime example of why.

I went into a Home Theater Store to discuss replacing my Pioneer Elite 55TXi and my Integra Research DTR-7.1 Receivers. I spoke to a salesman about the Rotel... -
Finally just finished my HT upgrade (for this month anyway), and I've got the 1066 now w/ the 195 amp and Paradigm Reference all around. Much to my dismay though, I am experiencing the popping sound from my speakers that was mentioned a little bit below. It happens whenever I change any of the settings...
