Having uploaded the images somewhere, you use the image tag (IMG) with the URL to put them in a post. If they're uploaded here as attachments, use the attachmentid. eg, this is the line, and use square brackets [] not <>
<IMG>http://www.htguide.com/forum/attachment.php4?attachmentid=14041</IMG>
As for making the images bigger, you'll have to upload them somewhere else (like imageshack) as this forum only supports a certain size, and again use the IMG tag with the URL.

Thanks mjb.

I will give it a try in the Not Ready for Primetime area and see if i can get it to work for me.

Hi Ken49r,

Nice setup :T
The rack is also very nice.

Only one thing: the TV is not too high?

At wich height it is located?
I have my plasma to 90cm. from the floor and I think already a litto too high...

Hi Omar,

I agree my TV is a bit to high for comfortable viewing. It is 42 in. from the floor on a tilt wall mount. The angle at the viewing position is a little more than I prefer from when the TV sat on top of the rack stand.
At the time of installation I had the HTM7 which is 2 in. taller than the HTM4 and I wanted a little clearance from top of tweeter to bottom of TV.
This is only a temporary situation though as I am in an apartment and do plan to move soon, and to replace the rack with something a little more low profile.

Hello everyone my name is Brian, this is my first post here at Club Rotel. I'm very happy to be here. I fell in love with Rotel equipment when I purchased the RA-1062 and RCD-1072 player. I have sold those pieces and moved onto multi-channel. I use Ascend Acoustic speakers. I would love to used B&W speakers but they are bit to expensive for my budget. I have posted an extremely humble picture of my set up. I am awaiting the wonderful RMB-1075 to replace my extremely outdated RB-956AX.

i like the way your cd racks pull out, nice touch.

Hello,

Here is my (little) Rotel and B&W set-up.
Rotel RSX-1056
Rotel RCD-1072

Just, I am looking for a rack... (DIY ?)

For $85USD you could get a "spider" Rack, which would be very nicely integrated on your setup.

Please look at: http://www.china-highend-hifi.com/prod0114.htm

I've one for my stereo system and it's robust and both free from any ressonances and heating problems:

Lyngdorf CD-1 Player
Krell KAV-400xi integrated amplifier
B&W 703 speakers
Siltech & Kimber cabling

Hallo Mike,

GUUTT GEMACHT. :T

You have saved money and your new setup is nice.

well. I wait as promised the feed back from the new RMB power ampli(vs. the RB1092/1091 & pre 1570 too)

is a htm2D correct?

the cabinet is nice & clean. (if was a Classe like your dilemma the cabinet is too small-depth!!)


style

[mjb]

Style, danke! Genau, ein htm2d habe ich mir auch zugelegt.

The 1575 sounds much better (to my ears) than the 1092/1, so I'm very happy with the outcome. The 1092/1 were much too forward in the middle range for me. I'm also very happy with the 1570 - except for the now famous 3 second delay which will hopefully addressed in a firmware update. I realise the cabinet is too small for Classe, aber...

Man kann nicht alles haben, ich bin zufrieden, und habe viel geld gespart!

Grusse, Mike

[style]

Hi Mike

cabinet to small for Classe or Classe too big :W

fuer die *verspätung" ist nicht so schlimm...die naechsten firmware sollten alles i.O. setzen...


i have today with my frined Classe in Zuerich..for the Update the SSP 1.0.2 is ready to be delivered...but now Classe have resolved the retard problem for the Classe or better for the Hdmi cennection and the bluray player audio....
they wait becouse have other news problems, not always but with some new products have small problems which delay the release of the firmware if everything ok .... still 3 weeks....

Ich schreibe dir PM hab'ich Interesse um RMB1575.....

Hi MJB
Have you compared the Performance of Rotel 1098 and Rotel 1570 ?

[mjb]

Hi MJB
Have you compared the Performance of Rotel 1098 and Rotel 1570 ?

Not strictly side by side, but my impression is extremely good.

I'm not the sort able to write a multipage review over flowing with colourful adjectives attempting to describe how a component sounds, but I can say I like it very much, and consider it a big improvement over the 1098!

The first thing you notice is that the 1570 is a lot smaller and lighter than the 1098. The second, all those clunky relays have gone solid state. The best part is HDMI audio and switching, something I’ve been waiting for, so the cabling is very simple.

At first I was a bit disappointed with the picture quality. It took me a while to realise it was because my TV was also scaling. When I turned that off (in the TV, they call it "just scan"), the PQ became perfect for all source resolutions. So IMO the video up scaling works really well – something that the 1098 couldn’t do. Just make sure you only have one in the chain.

HDMI is slow to switch (due to the negotiation), although that’s possibly not the 1570's fault. But I hope Rotel can do something about the 3 second audio lock time.

Maybe someone with a better ear, and/or test equipment, could argue in favor of the 1098, but for me the newer unit more than matches it, and then some.

Nice system. What do you control it with, what are the rears. More pic's please. Nice cabinet.

[HDBLU]

how long does it take to fully work in the RB1080 2ch Amp I think I have used my one for about 50hours

Thanks Dan. I'm currently totally renovating the living room, so more pictures and info will follow when its all finished.

Opinion varies, and I'm not personally a big believer in run in time - but with 50 hours I'm sure its covered!

[BWLover]

just play white or pink noise in it for a week or so

[shane2468]

Thanks Jason :T I'm jealous of most of the systems on this thread, so that makes us even

Sithlord, Thanks. The rack is a "Vantage Pro Euro Series" that I bought locally. It was originally a 4 shelf system however I was able to order a custom sized 7.5" add on.

The Standard spacing of it was 9.5" with the one 7.5" space. However to fit the Rotel 1095, I grabbed the feet poles (under the lowest shelf) and coupled them to give me a 12" space for the 1095. The 1095 is 9.5" tall so it now has 2.5" air space above it. It looks like plenty of room :T




This place Here sells them on line

Nice rack, Is there a 5 shelf version too? The one shown has 4 shelfs. Also what is the weight limit for each shelf?

[bcampbell]

Here is my current setup. Just graduated college and moved back in with the parents for the time being so I just got all of my gear settled in. Slowly working on upgrading my stuff. Rotel RSP 1069 that is 1 week old, RMB 1075, 50" Sony 1080P DLP, JBL Northridge E90's for mains, EC35 center, and E30 rears. Not too bad for a 21 year old haha, but my dad says when I move out I get his Infinity Kappa 7.1 Series 2 speakers, which are really nice. Oh, and on the ceiling I have a vinyl pulldown window shade that works perfect for a cheap projector screen, so I can use the projector with the PS3 or the cable to get 1080i output, pretty sweet but will probably upgrade the screen soon, but right now its kindof a cash deal.

Next upgrades will be a better sub. Any suggestions? And possibly a lowboy stand that would fit 3 components wide so I can put the center channel in that. Then a few years down the road probably some B&W nautilus speakers, but until then....

I'm new here, any other skiers out there?

[TommyV]

HAHA Damn nice setup. When I was 21, I did not have a setup like that. In fact I just bought the same combo. The Pabst Blue Ribbon on the table is a nice touch. Rock on dude!

[Ken49r]

Looks sharp Kevin.

What's your opinion of the light around the power button? Do they draw attention to themselves when your watching movies? Do they dim?

The 15XX series look good in that rack. :T

[Nolan B]

Wow Kevin. Looks fantastic!

How you do manage the heat with amps and processor right on top of each other?

[TommyV]

I was hoping you would post updated pics Kevin but was afraid to ask! Looks very nice! I am surprised you went with the 1570 at the bottom of your 15 series stack. From what I have head, it generates more heat than the Class D amps. I need to take some good pics of my updated setup. You too Nolan! I want to see that Classe amp.

If he'd mounted it any higher he'd need to stand on a box to control it.
Kevin, you've got quite a stack there, the 15 series design looks really good in a rack :T

[TommyV]

If he'd mounted it any higher he'd need to stand on a box to control it.

Maybe he could get some pimp shoes

Beautiful setup Kevin. The Dishnetwork box, I have the same but am having some issues with video transfer via the 1570. Did you have the same? Also the 1570 gets pretty warm, with your stacking aren't you having any issues?

Since I dont have any more Rotel (aside from the RLC 1040) i posted the pics on the Classe section

Ahh sweet, look at that Classe! If you decided to go with a Zektor switch to compliment your new SSP-600, I have one for sale.
