Rotel RC-1590 Stereo Pre-Amplifier
 
Key features

 

  • Balanced XLR Input & 2 Balanced XLR Output
  • Dual mono subwoofer output
  • APTX Bluetooth
  • 3 Coax and 3 Optical
  • SPDIF LPCM (up to 192kHz 24bit)
  • Built-in moving Magnet phono stage
The RC-1590 has been engineered specifically to reflect Rotel's design philosophy of offering the best possible performance at every price category. The RC-1590 offers the discerning music listener an intuitive and easy-to-operate hifi experience. The unit caters to a vast number of both analogue and digital inputs and is ready to be used with essentially any source component, so no matter where your tracks are stored, the RC-1590 can read and replay them with an unrivalled level of accuracy. 
 
The heart of any high-quality audio component is the power supply. Rotel-specific toroidal transformers ensure an accurate and undisrupted signal process between both the analogue and digital circuits. These capacitors use a Slit-foil design, resulting in a quick charge/discharge time and low signal loss, ensuring a tight and controlled bass performance.
 
The RC-1590 is packed full of brains, too. All internal circuitry and componentry has been designed and meticulously evaluated over extended listening sessions, ensuring the warmest and richest level of audio fidelity possible at this price point. Analogue inputs brag a phenomenally low-noise circuitry. A high-performance phono stage is integrated within the RC-1590, capable of both moving magnet and photo stage turntable cartridges. 
 
The digital inputs are fully isolated and feed directly to a precision AKM, 34-bit/768kHz digital to analogue converter chipset that also supports PCM and DSD formats. Three coaxial inputs, three optical PCM inputs, a front USB and rear PC-USB are integrated within the RC-1590, as well as an internal Bluetooth apt X receiver for direct lossless, wireless audio transmission. 
 

Rotel RB-1582 MkII stereo power amplifier

Key Features:

 

  • 2 x 200 watts (20Hz-20kHz)
  • Balanced XLR & Unbalanced RCA
  • Dual Mono Design
  • High-quality slit foil capacitors made in Britain
  • Class AB amplifier design

To say that the Rotel RB-1582 MkII is an in-store favourite would be an understatement, whether we're looking to set up a quality Pre/Power system or add a little more depth to an AV set-up 1582mkII is always high on the list. When set up with a quality pre-amplifier such as the Rotel RC-1590 (Link here), the amplifier handles itself brilliantly, being neither too bright nor harsh nor overly bassy. What I have always appreciated about Rotel equipment is that it never seems to add anything to the sound, it only gives out what it is given which is what all good HiFi should do

The RB1582mk2 is a heavily revised and re-worked version of the original and highly regarded RB1582, offering even greater musical enjoyment than its previous incarnation. With 200 watts power channel on tap and huge current reserves, the RB-1582mkII is capable of driving very low impedance speakers very effectively. Any great power amp is only as good as its power supply, and the 1582 mk2 has a very high current toroidal transformer at its cure, supported by over 60,000 uF of slit foil capacitors, which can charge and discharge very rapidly, allowing it to produce high dynamic peaks needed by the music.

Both balanced and unbalanced inputs are provided on the rear panel to suit your pre-amplifier. Each power amplifier channel is constructed as a dual-mono amplifier, sharing the power supply only, and care taken to provide a very low noise star earthing arrangement to ensure low noise and hum. Ten pairs of high current bipolar junction transistors per channel can easily cope with the dynamic demands of this amplifier, ensuring long-term reliability.
