    Rotel RCD-971 reliability

    What kind of reliability can I expect from a used RCD 971?? Just curious because I have an opportunity to pick one up for a reasonable price... $285 and in pretty pristine condition.

    Any one have any other suggestions for players around this price point?

    I bought a 971 about a year ago (for more than your opportunity), used it for nine months and sold it to a friend who is enjoying it very much. I bought a new 1072, and to tell you the truth, I don't hear much difference between the two. If I had it to do all over again I probably would have kept the 971. It is a nice deck...

      Rotels CD players seem to be rock solid. I passed on my 16 yr old RCD-855 to my brother & it's still going strong!

          The 971 is a pretty safe bet I sold a lot and saw very few come back , better on classical and jazz than outright rock but imo that is the Rotel sound.

            I bought a used 991 for 300$(canadian) last year...

            285 seems pricey ??
