I had both the same amp and processor. I absolutely loved them, but moved onto tubes since I wanted tubes and to go back to 2-channel sound. In my system, I preferred using a DH Labs Toslink from pre to amp, but only used two of the five amp channels. I don't know what speakers you have, but I really liked the Stealth Premier( now discontinued) speaker cables driving a pair of B&W CDM-1NT speakers. I also found that upgrading power cords on each unit makes a very nice improvement. I had excellent results with an early Electraglide Referenceglide on the amp and a Shunyata Sidewinder Gold on the processor.
Rotel RB 985 MK II
Does anyone have any experienc with this amp. I have one, been very happy with the sound quality. I'm using it with the rotel RSP 980 surround processer. My question is. Is there any difference in sonic quality using the DB-25 cable to connect the 2 versus using quality RCA interconnects. has anyone noticed an improvement with one or the other. I'm currently using the DB-25. Thanks , any feedback would be appreciated
