Clbeanz, Thanks for your insights and the links. Based on your comments and those of Mr. Gene DellaSala (Audioholics)curious as to why the RA-1060 integrated amp provides a more dynamic performance then the Rotel pre-amp family? But I intend to spend this weekend tracking down the RA-1062/RCD-1072 setup with a few CD in my pocket. Also, another follow-on question, I'm currently having my basement wired and am having a new circuit board put in. Along with that Im having a surge protector installed at the curcuit board. Also am having dedicated lines from the box directly to the outlets that will power the systems. My question, do you recommend a Monster or similar line cleaner/protector. Stage 3 or above? Again, thanks, Dave
Denon/Rotel combination related question
I recently bought a vintage Denon POA-1500 power amp to drive my Polk SDA 1Bs. I have also listened to Rotel set ups and thought the sound was beautiful. To that end I was thinking about the RC 1090 pre amp teamed up with the 1072 CD player. The Pre and CD player add up to about $1,700. From your experiences sound like a good match? But also, what alternatives would you recommend I test drive based on the the Denon rig at around $1,700. Also, considering the set up $ value, what type of interconnects would you recommend. As you can see, I'm a novice at the desk of the experts. Thanks much, Dave
