Rotel RCD 991 vs. Rotel RCD 1072
Hi there, I need your advice on something.
I have the option of trading in my Rotel RCD-02 for either a new RCD-1072 or a used RCD 991. Both for about the same price and both with same warranty and service. What would you do? Cd player is presently running through a RA-02 Intergrated amp (next to be upgraded) and then onto a pair of B&W matrix 802's. The only thing I am really worried about is that the 991 despite all the rave reviews, stopped production 4 years ago...is it really out of date??? Please reply via newsgroup...my email has been flakey lately. Thank you very much in advance! |

Rotels tend to be built to last, but a new one should last just a little bit longer, which is why I'd go for the new one. There certainly have been no great (or even moderately small) advances in Redbook reproduction in the last 5 years, so performance-wise these should be a horse apiece. If you really believe that one might sound better than the other, you should listen and compare for yourself. (But compare them without knowing which is which.) bob |
