Good luck on the sale. Are you updating to some think newer.

Think there was someone here considering the 1570. Best of luck

We need to know the upgrade..??

ha ha is that "need" or "want to know the upgrade" yes I am curious too LOL.

I nearly went for this combo myself about 18 months ago.

Well if you must "need" or "want" to know what I have upgraded to...

It is 2 Channel tube goodness...

In particular the Stereo Knight Magnetic Enigma-1.0R and the Stereo Knight M-100 Mono Blocks

So the Rotels have got to go, otherwise it is straight to the dog house for me!

Welcome to the SK club rlay1 - I have the same combo.

If you want to do some tube rolling at some point, I can recommend some Winged C KT88s in the monoblocs.

What speakers are you running?

Rob

Oh, and good luck with the sale.

Hi Rob,

Thanks for the advice re: Winged C

Are you referring to the Svetlana KT88?

Any Aust stockists?

I'm running the Osborn Epitome w/ Bass Units.

What speakers are you running with your SK setup?

Yes, I'm referring to the "Svetlana" Winged C KT88 (the Svetlana factories were sold to two different businesses - Svetlana SED hold the rights to the Svetlana brand in some countries, their KT88s are generally regarded as very inferior to the Winged C version).

I'm running some Eclipse Reference Towers - the Epitomes with bass units would be a nice step up.

If you're ever coming to Melbourne send me a PM if you would like to catch up.

It's also worth trying the balanced connections if you haven't already - the inputs on both the amps and the pre (I did find the RCA connections on the amps better at one stage when the bias had drifted way out - speaking of which, send me a PM if you need any help on the biasing).

A bump for taking this sale off topic.

Hi Rob,

Thanks for the bump!

No probs with taking the post off topic!

I will definitely look into the Svetlana Winged C.

And yep, I am already using Osborn Balanced Line Connects and Speaker Cables...

Now back to the sale!

Hi Ray. I love your gear. As an avid SACD and DVD-A user I know the quality of this receiver /poweramp combo. The fact that you can pass all 7.1 analog channels through to the poweramps without all the digital "hocus pocus" is vey attractive to me. This is beautiful gear Ray!

But I'm sorry to have to question your pricing. Demo's of the pre-amp with full warranty can be picked up for around $2.3K and the 1565 brand new for $1.5K

I'm afraid the value of gear with only 4x 1.3 HDMI (and only one "out" at that), no ethernet connectivity for firmware upgrades, no audessy, and no network or dlna capabilities has plummeted in the last 12 months since you bought your gear.

Whilst I appreciate you can bypass this problem by upgrading to a network streaming blu ray and use 7.1 analog out, these too can be got hold of brand new for under 1K.

How do I know all this? Because I too am in the market to upgrade my gear and have suffered this savage depreciation of my current 7.1 NAD surround receiver... As for it's replacement: the 775, which is very comparable sonic wise and feature wise to your combo... well I can pick up a brand new one with a 3 year warranty for under 2K. And get the extra 2 channels for blu ray 7.1

Please Ray, don't take offence. I understand great gear like Rotel. And I'd love to own this combo. But I'm afraid the price is unrealistic. PM if you want to...

Cheers

Alex
