I just bought a used RMB-1075 for $700. I am planning to use my RSX-965 as the preamp for this amplifier which will power my B&W 704 fronts, HTM7 center, and 705 surrounds (no sub yet). This will hold me over until I buy a real pre/pro sometime in the future (1-2 yrs away). Atypically for me this amp was an impulse purchase and now I am trying to figure out the connection details which is why I have come to this board:
1. Interconnect between the amp preout and the RSX-965
Am I better off connecting the two via a DB-25 to DB-25 cable, RCA (out) to DB-25 cable, or an RCA to RCA cable? I like the DB-25 connection because of its simplicity but is there a sacrifice in performance? Also my next pre/pro may not even have the DB-25 connection. Any recommendation on specific make/model of cables?
2. Turning on the amp via a remote
I do not believe that the RSX-965 has a 12v trigger which would allow me to turn the amp on and off with. So what are my options for turning on the amp remotely to keep my wife happy?
Thanks in advance for any thoughts. This board is great and I have learned so much from just lurking......
