As a typical Rotel amplifier, the RA-1572MKII has an oversized toroidal transformer manufactured in-house. The design of this toroidal transformer prevents stray field coupling, which could interfere with audio signals in adjacent stages. The transformer feeds a network of highly efficient slit-foil screen capacitors with low ESR in a T network for deep, precise bass reproduction.
