"In-store each member of staff has his personal favourite setups, whether it's a small compact system or something not so subtle. This is mine (Jamie, Store manager) - if you are looking for a pre/power setup you can't go wrong with this. The Pre-amp is full of features and connections to suit most customers requirements and the power amp has enough power and control for even the most challenging of speakers. My personal favourite speaker to pair with this system are the Bowers & Wilkins 702 together they offer a full-bodied soundstage lacking for nothing, the bass is kept tight and controlled while the midrange and treble are punchy and dynamic, without ever feeling fatiguing."
Rotel RC-1590
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 is able to 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-1590
The RB-1590 is an embodiment of Rotel's comprehensive level of experience and commitment to constructing only the finest sounding audio components. Utilising class AB amplification capability, this highly powerful stereo power amp is capable of unleashing a total of 350 watts to each channel into 8 ohms. This means that it's an ideal solution for when a particular pair of sensitive loudspeakers need the extra attention to perform at their best, or for when a pair of speakers need some extra juice to truly fill the room.
Every element of its construction has been carefully selected, crafted and put together in order to achieve the best possible performance. Designed specifically by and for Rotel; dual, massive toroidal transformers form part of the unit's robust power supply. These work alongside eight British-made BHC capacitors, specially selected for their reputation of low loss and quick response times. The circuit topography is laid out in a true monoblock design resulting in the best possible signal separation, which in turn means an improved stereo imaging.
XLR balanced and RCA input connections are found to the rear of the unit, alongside two pairs of 5-way loudspeaker binding termination posts. The RB-1590 also makes use of 12-volt trigger control, thermal protection circuitry, over-current and over-voltage protection circuitry, as well as dual staged power on the relay, which reduces the surge current and allows for extended longevity.
Rack-mount ears are included.
