With the RA-930BX Rotel has made an attempt to recapture the performance of glorious amplifiers like the RA-930AX. The BX shares the same casework and essential facilities as its hallowed cousin, but features a variety of significant revisions inside.
Known quantities like Rubycon BGF coupling capacitors and Panasonic HFS electrolytics have been introduced, though the layout of the RA-930AX with its El mains transformer and classic high-current Sanyo-based power amp remains untouched. One other principle revision concerns the line amplifier, which now uses a dual-channel TL052 op-amp in favour of the old Signetics NE5532AN.
So the RA-930AX has been thoroughly gilded. But what would the Hi-Fi Choice blind listening panel make of the results some two and a half years on?
Sound quality
In the event, Rotel’s RA-930BX not only sounded suspiciously expensive but also emerged as the unchallenged star of this month’s show. Certainly none of its immediate competition could match the ingenious blend of power and polish, a dark and clean sound that prompted one astute (but blind!) listener to identify its origins as ‘typically Rotel’.
It was described by the panel as having an architectural presentation, with specific areas of a performance located firmly within a broad and deep soundstage. At the same time it was free of wavering or obvious fuzziness. On the other hand it isn’t entirely neutral: the richness and colour of its music is enhanced with a typically bold but unforced stroke ofthe brush.
It’s nearly as impressive via MM disc, perhaps lacking a little sparkle but otherwise retaining the crisp and powerful bass, sweet treble and seemingly limitless stereo depth that had proved so engaging with CD sources. All in all it’s a real scorcher.
