Time to upgrade - need advice


I currently have a Rotel RC-1070 preamp, Rotel RB-1070 amp, Rotel RC-1055 changer. I can either upgrade the pre to RC-1090 or the amp to RB-1080. Either unit can be had for around $900. Which upgrade would give me the better bang for the buck? The second choice will be upgraded later down the road - 3 months or so.

Your speakers are fine and can handle much much higher grade electronics.

An upgrade to me is not just going to a slightly better Rotel. The next step is lower priced gear by major audiophile brands like Conrad Johnson, Blue Circle, McCormick, YBA, Bryston, or higher end Creek, etc, etc, etc.
