Not sure, waiting for it to arrive today.

Personally -- I prefer amplifier power specs in units of horsepower.
One hp = 746 watts.
PS This holds for both English and metric horses.

63 lbs, 19 inches wide?! 😳
Edit: it looks smaller in the pics than I was thinking. I guess 19 inches is a “normal” component width. Beefy sucker at 63 lbs, either way.

I admire Rotel's use of fabric tape on this line's boxes. High end tape to set Michi apart from the usual fare.
Enjoy! Those are a cut above. -

congratulations, Drew, looks like a really neat piece of gear. very sleek, clean. love all the connectivity.
curious to hear how you like it. and none of this long time to properly evaluate bs. immediate first impressions report, with, say, some speakers that begin with a W and end with a 2.
both music and real music should be used.I disabled signatures. -
19 inches is the standard rack mount component width
I have actual rack mountable components mounted on actual rack mounts -- but I can I find a photo of any? Noooooo... This -- odd -- little DIY (not by me) preamp in a rack-mountable form factor'll have to do.
The 19 inch rack mount cabinet standard dates back to the telephone industry and (at least) the 1930s... and probably earlier.
1922 per Wiki-p.

Ha! This site is great! I've always been a lousy judge of length or distance. I was glad the specs were included because it looked small to me in the pics, but even when I converted the metric specs to English, it still didn't click. Lol But, whadaya know ... from my ignorance came some interesting tidbits from @mhardy6647. Well done, sir!

Doc, thanks for awaking one of my "Ma Bell" and telephone industry memories.
In 1976 on my first visit to NYC, I was given a tour of the lobby of the historic New York Telephone Company headquarters building in lower Manhattan. OMG, I remember that ceiling.
Built in 1927 by architect Ralph Walker, the New York Telephone Building is considered to be the world’s first Art Deco skyscraper. Its “wedding cake” shape, influenced by setbacks required in the first New York City zoning code in 1916, inspired numerous artists, including Modernist John Marin who rendered the building multiple times with a Cubist treatment.
In addition to its revered place in the Modern art movement, the New York Telephone Building was one of those buildings that New Yorkers only got to peek in when lucky – most of the time, its stunning Art Deco lobby was off limits, or at the very least, one you would only dare to step in briefly because of heavy security.
One of several landmark buildings that have either been closed off for years or inaccessible behind a veil of commercial and industrial uses, it has been converted to condos.
Not demolished.

De nada.
My father-in-law was a "Telephone Pioneer" (it's a thing). He spent his whole career with "the phone company", retiring from AT&T (as a pretty senior exec) in the mid-1970s. Even in his retirement, he was president of the tiny local phone company in the little town in NH to which they retired -- and, not entirely coincidentally, where we retired, as well. : )
The phone company here is no longer independent, though.
Ironically, when they moved to NH in 1974, the town still used an operator and had no direct-dial access to people's homes. My to-be-inlaws' "phone number" was "line 2, ring 2" in those days. I wish I had a photo of the phone they had in their house in those days (they never removed it from its place in their dining room). Alexander Graham Bell would have been perfectly comfortable using it.

Funny story...or not😁 growing up most folks I knew shared lines between neighbors. Either our town was behind the times or the cost for a private line was too expensive.

My great aunt in "the country"* was on a party line. Up in the big city (Brooklyn Park) we had real phone numbers from my earliest memory.
