I bought this Preamp /Tuner 5 years back with a RB-970BX power amp for $175.00 on Kijiji. The first thing I noticed is I could run any size or type of home audio speaker from it.The preamp always has a calm neutral tone to it. I use in an estimating plans room system that I stream through a Tube Magic D2 DAC , the system runs 8-10 hours 5 days a week . And everyone here admits they never get fatigued by the sound quality. We listen to everything classical, jazz, techno, blues, atmospheric, but no country.(except Willie Nelson)

Strength:
Sound, build quality, and affordable price.
Weakness:
At this price, none I purchased this while my Linn Classik was in the shop being serviced. It is a nicely built unit, pleasant looking, and very nice sounding.

Strength:
Price/performance, Radio sound great
Weakness:
Less function than that of a regular reciever; but that's the best you can get from that much money if you want a good sounding system. Great sound, especially with B&W 600 speakers, and yet simple to use. I've been very happy with this unit for a long time. For even better $ value, looking for a used one at near 1/2 new retail price! Similar Products Used: Denon, Sony receiver |

Sounds good, but has some drawbacks. No phono preamp. Only 1 tape out. Tuner is satisfactory, but not outstanding. Combined with Rotel RB-971 amplifier and RCD-975 CD player. After about 75 hours of burn in, it sounds pretty smooth and open. |

Strength:
Solid construction, very reliable, pleasant sound quality.
Weakness:
Remote control is the worst I've seen. No subwoofer output. This unit replaces an NAD 7240 Receiver, which I was using as a tuner/preamp. I am not going into any detail on the sonic quality of this unit other than to say that it is very satisfactory for my use. I purchased the unit new in 1998 and it has been in continuous service since that time. I normally leave the unit on 24x7 and turn the lolume down when I'm away. Similar Products Used: None |
