Good power cord for Rotel?
Whoaru99....To answer your question, I'm not sure how a six foot cable improves the sound, but it DOES! If you want to try a cable upgrade in your system, be warned.....Be prepared to change all the cables in your system! That's what happened to m...

Which Audio Interconnect would you recommend?
I have the Rotel 1075 and the Rotel 1068 as well....along with B&W CM 2 (Concept 2 speakers from the late 80's). The interconnect cables I went with were the QED Silver Spirals for the 4 channels (fronts and rears) and the DNM Reson with Eichm...
