  I've had a nice Rotel amp ra04 for a about 10 years, hard to fault, expecially with some b&w floorstanders. it's good to see they're still doing great things.

  The RA820 was my first amp, 1984-89, with the original Wharfedale Diamonds. Loved them!

  To be fair the end of “cry for help” does have a Phil Collins style drum intro at the end of the track🤣

  I started with a Rotel RA810,which i used with their RCD865 cd player and Castle Trent speakers. Latterly i bought a Creek 4140 ,then Audiolab 8000A before venturing into pre and power land. Rotel are a really good choice for starting out.

  2 audio journalists meet at the water cooler.<br>One says, &quot;I&apos;ll show you my Rotels if you show me your NADs&quot;<br><br>So they went for pints after work.

  As soon as Ken Ishiwata landed his magic touch on them, Rotel products began to sing. A8-to-a14 receive the highest compliments across the board. I, for one thing, have still not heard anything to sound better than the a11 tribute. Looking forward to hearing the a14.

  I am right on board with &quot;Put Yourself in my Place&quot; as the best Kylie track ever, some definite early Toto influence in that (I Won&apos;t Hold You Back chorus specifically)
