Hi there,

I'm not sure what is the best match for your rotel power, but I do have a Rotel pre-amp (RC-970 BX) for sale which should work fine/compatible with your power amp.

tqs for the offer
but im not nearby
next time perhaps

you are most welcome, I am just trying my best to sell this pre-amp which has been lying around for sometime...

ive decide to try sansui c-1000
will update when the item has arrived
even though im not getting a good response here

Salam Bro...why not u sell one of your rotel power amp 2 me...? if ok give me the price..

if your rotel power amp has enough gain, better to use passive pre amp

sounds more direct!

u r definitely rite, the gain is high, sometimes too high
vol level at 3, already my neighbour can hear to what im listening
any idea to lower down the gain? any suggest'n on what passive pre?

kancan, too good to be let go

passive preamp is preamp which has no gain. no need electricity to operate it

but good passive preamp such as transformers preamp can make your power amp to perform to its optimum without changing its character

so any brand that u can suggest?

I am using a Promitheus TVC (Transformer Volume Control) for my Denon monoblocks. Very nice sounding. For more info go to http://www.promitheusaudio.com/

By the way it is hand crafted in Malaysia and has been highly acclaimed in reviews.

thanks for the infos, definitely a nice hand made hifi eq
admired the tube preamps though, as im using one also
just recently got it, diyed from audionote circuit,
build by a prodigy of aspen amplifiers down in melbourne

No I haven't tried active preamp, whether tube or solid state, but would like to. With the TVC, the principle is impedance matching and minimum electronic interference of signals from the source to the amp. According to the website the standard version is US390 now. Mine has only 2 RCA inputs.
