Rotel RC 995 preamp v RC 1070 any reason for one o


I am looking at a Rotel RC 1070 premap How does this unit compare to the older RC 995 soundwise?? I owned a 995 years ago but not a 1070 Should I be holding out for a 995 or does the 1070 sound just as good??? Amp would be a RB 990. Thanks

Geph0007,

Differences between two preamps are more than significant. Personally, I have never owned either, so cannot give a valid comparison sound wise in my room. I own the RC-1090 btw, this was Rotel flagship pre several years ago (inside view suggests very similar design and execution as the RC-995 you are interested in)

But, I have something else. Send me email address via pp, I have some very very revealing pictures of both preamps without top plate to send you... See pics, and I bet you'll never return towards the RC-1070 as serious contender, at least in line with RC-995.
