    Marantz AV560U to Rotel RSP985. Is the side step worth it

    Currently I have the Marantz AV560U pre/pro but have the oportunity to get a Rotel RSP985(for $800CDN) if I can sell my pre. Would it be worth it even though I'm going from one DD/DTS pre to another. Figure it would cost me $100-200 out of pocket if I sell mine(Checkout out Pawnshop for ad). Would love to go all Rotel but unfortuantely I can't afford the 1066 or 1098 for a while. Figure it would be a perfect match for my 1095.

      People don't talk about the RSP985 much, but at $800 CDN, I think it's a steal. I don't know what the Marantz sounds like, but I would think it's safe to say the 985 sounds better than the 1066 (assuming the 1066 and 976 sound similar).

          Receiver vs true pre amp comparison
          by Andrew Pratt
          I know this could likely have gone in the Club Rotel but I wanted to show people that receivers can make decent pre amps in some cases....

          As luck would have it I am presently lucky enough to own both the Rotel 1055 receiver and the Rotel 1066 pre amp. For those that don't know about...

          Which is the better combo - 1066/1095 or 1068/1075
          by RJS72
          Hey all,

          I just recently bought an RSX-1067 and RCD-1072 CD player. I'm really loving the sound and enjoying the music right now...at least for the most part. For my main speakers, I have Axiom M80's ti's (excellent speaker btw), which run at 4 ohms. Now the 1067 will physically drive...

          Rotel RSP-1066 + Audio Authority 1154 Component Video Switcher - anyone using??
          by Hap C
          I'm considering purchase of a Rotel RSP-1066 pre-pro with 1075 amp, but the 1066 doesn't have enough HD component video inputs for my needs, it only has 2. I've identified the Audio Authority 1154 component video switch as a strong possibility to add to the 1066. The AA has 4 HD component video inputs,...
