Consolidating or upgrading Rotel CD players

[hciman77]

As my Landlord has decided he is going to sell up I need to move again. This seems like a good time to rationalize my audio gear.

I have RCD975 and a RCD02 CD players and frankly I really need only one. If I sell both I could (almost) get a mint condition 1070 or 1072. If I just sell one I can buy a bunch of CDs.

So I need to ask - given that the 1070 and 02 share the same transport and DAC and I think the 1072 also shares a lot with the 02 - would I *really* notice a worthwhile difference? I would describe my hearing as fine but not outstanding and I listen to Classical music 95% of the time. I do like both my Rotels but cant justify keeping both.

Cheers

I recently compared the 02 with the 1072 and I found the 1072 sounded better. I bought the 1072 (~200 more) and will never question my decision. For me it was a great addition to my system and has added a sound that I didn't have before.
