Newb..pls help.

Hi everyone, I am a 57 yr old newb to the higher end audio scene. I am putting together a system for all the vinyl I bought back in the 1970’s when I was a teen. I have narrowed it down to my budget of the Rotel RA-1572 and the RA-1570. I cannot find a side by side comparison and recommendation ANYWHERE and I am too newb to know what to understand anyway. I chose the Rotel’s because they have so many quality features and they fit my budget. Pls help as the $$ spread between the two is enough for me to ask....otherwise I would just plunk down the money for the 1572 and be done.

PS. If it helps you experienced people assist me, I also have CD collection.. as I lived through 8-track, cassette, CD, and now apparently the internet. I currently have a Marantz CD-6006, Music Hall Ikura TT, Martin Logan 700w Dynamo sub, Focal Spirit Classic headphones, and soon to be added (I think) KEF Q-700’s)

Thanks so much in advance. MM

If at any time when looking for a component I come across a review a comment like "not the worst but..." I tend to go look somewhere else. 
So you can imagine what I do when that phrase is in the TITLE of the review!

Okay you don't have to imagine. I'll tell you. I don't even read the review.

Sorry. I know its just a review. I know all about reviews. They tend to be thinly disguised marketing infomercials. Which is why I wouldn't even read the rest of this one, and would run not walk away from this integrated.
