I currently have a 971 pre amp. I have a chance to pick up a 1070 pre and was wondereing how much of an upgrade this would be and if it is worth doing.
Thanks,

Apart from the looks, I would say very little. Although the 971 is somewhat older, it is still a competent pre-amp. I had a RC-972 and compared it with the 1070. The 1070 has a tiny bit lower noise level, but apart from that I could not hear any difference.
See if you can try it and compare it to your current amp.
I ended up with the RSP-1068, since the 5.1 input sounded mutch the same as the 972.
The only upgrade is a RC-995 ( without a doubt the best pre-amp) and the RC-1090. However the 995 was equally good and about 1/2 the price...Marantz AV8802, Marantz UD8002, Rotel RB-991 and RB985mkii, Rotel RD960

I presently have a RSP 1066 and RB 985 and I'm quiet happy with the combination for home thearter but for straight stereo listening I have been thinking of getting either a new 1070 Pre-Amp or a 1062 Intergated. Both can be intergrated easy into my system. I was wondering wether by adding either one... -
For my secondary, analogue-only sytem I have a Rotel RC-1070 pre & RB-1070 amp. This combo was my first seperates. I then upgraded to a RC-1090 pre and RB-1092 amp. Yes, an upgrade. My dealer asked me if I was interested in trying an upgrade once I told him about my analogue-only system. He... -
I have been flip-flopping for some time now, IMO I have the perfect amp, speakers, surround processor, and am searching for 2 channel perfection to integrate into the same system. Last weekend a friend of mine gave me his Adcom GFP-750 2 channel pre to test, and AHHHH. Pretty nice sounding, the only... -
I really enjoy good sound but am new to Rotel and not very technical. I replaced my old system with the Rotel 1070 power and preamp but kept my Bose 901s. I'm looking for a little better sound but am not sure if I should upgrade my 1070 pre amp to the 1090 pre amp, or if I should replace the bose 901s.... -
Currently i have the ra1062 powering my b&w 7nt. Only 60 watts.
I have been advised that i am under powered. However, budget is a real issue for me.
So, where would i be better off:
1) running the ra1062 with a rb1070
2) trading up my...
