Local HT meet with Marc Schnoll of B&W/Rotel

[greggz]

My local Rotel/B&W dealer hosted an “invitation-only” event the week to meet Marc Schnoll, who is a product specialist with B&W and Rotel. I posted some details from the event over in the B&W forum (trying to build some traffic over there )

Nice info about the demo. Your ht gear looks impressive too.

I noticed you have a dvd-a and sacd players, did you connected both on the 6 rca ext in of the pre-amp or they aren't? If they are connected what device you got them hooked up to?

I am thinking of buying two separate players but not sure how to connect them both to my receiver.

Hi Don

Unfortunately, I achieve support for DVD-A and SACD by going into the wiring closet behind the gear and switching interconnects.

Fortunately, I don’t do it that often. The kind of music I like (mostly jazz) is more prevalent on SACD than DVD-A. I own about 3 dozen SACD's and only 3 or 4 DVD-A's.

It is possible to support both. There is a guy over on AVS who sells a 6-channel switcher box. Its $200 for the box. But then you have to factor in that you need 18 interconnects to hook it all up (6 from SACD to box, 6 from DVD-A to box, and 6 from box to pre/pro).

If you are intersesed in that switcher box let me know and I will hunt down the link to it for you.

I'm new here. I didn't know Rotel and B&W share their R&D, I'm glad I make a right chose. I brought a pair of B&W 703 early this month and I'm picking up RSP1098,RMB1095 and RB1080 tomorrow.

Great write up and I'd have loved to be there!
