The Rotel A10MKII is a stereo integrated amplifier rated at 50 watts per channel into 8 ohms (Class A/B). It has three line-level RCA inputs, a moving magnet phono input, a front-panel headphone output and a remote control. It comes in black or silver.
Rotel builds the A10MKII around a linear power supply with a Rotel-built toroidal transformer. Rotel lists analogue inputs only.
Why you will love it
Toroidal transformer and linear power supply
Rotel says the A10MKII uses a massive Rotel-built toroidal power transformer in a linear power supply. It says the amplifier delivers 50 watts per channel into 8 ohms, and even higher into more challenging loudspeakers. Rotel lists 60 watts per channel into 4 ohms.

Analogue sources and phono
There are three line-level RCA inputs, labelled CD, Tuner and Aux in the owner's manual, and a moving magnet phono stage for a turntable. Rotel lists phono sensitivity at 1.5 mV with 43 kilohm input impedance.
A ground terminal next to the phono inputs is there for a turntable ground wire.
Controls and headphones
The front panel has rotary Bass, Treble and Balance controls. Rotel says the bass and treble circuits are bypassed by default for the purest sound until you turn the knobs.
A 3.5 mm headphone output with a dedicated headphone amplifier circuit is on the front panel. The included IR remote drives a motorised analogue volume control.

12V trigger and auto power off
Two 12V trigger outputs can switch on compatible components when the amplifier powers up. Rotel says the amplifier can switch itself to standby after 20 minutes without an audio signal. Standby consumption is under 0.5 W.
Is it right for you?
A great fit if you…
- Want a simple analogue stereo amplifier with a phono input
- Have a turntable, CD player or tuner with RCA outputs
