A question about an older Rotel CD player I once had.

I may be in the same boat as many of you.  Too many units and too many changes in my indulgence of being an Audioholic.  Many of the better high end CD players from the last 20+ years I have owned, at least a good share of them (remember Audioholic) and this may seem very moot, but the simple and not expensive Rotel 1072 is still a pleasant memory.  It may have been that it was a bit of a stop-gap between other players and I was not expecting much, but I liked its sonic qualities more than I had thought I would.  So is it just an aging audioholic memory, or did those drugs in the Vietnam War really do some damage?
