How Are Rotel Preamps?

Hi everyone,

I currently own a Rotel RC-1082 preamp, partnered with a RB-1080 power amplifier, which I have owned for the past couple years. It was my first journey into hi-fi after owning many receivers from brands like Denon and Sony.

I know Rotel has a good reputation when it comes to their power amps but what's the general consensus on the quality of their preamps? Their preamps aren't something I hear get discussed a lot, and since they are the only hi-fi brand in my area I bought them because I wasn't able to compare against separates from other companies like NAD, Rega, Parasound, etc.

Just curious to see if anyone else has experience with Rotel's preamps and what your thoughts are on them. Thanks!
