I almost jumped on a 'new' RC-1090 + RB-1080 for $1800 from my dealer - I had to force myself not to buy. If my shelf could handel teh wt. of the RB-1090 I would have gotten that.

RB-1090 hands down. Unless you want something better like the RB-1092 or 2 1091s!!!!

And are we not all hoping that it would be better.

Well a 500 watt (for whatever that really means with switching amps) vs. a 200 or 300watt amp. Newer technology...more expensive...lets hope they sound better!

That's the only thing keeping me from bringing them in my home, not knowing what they are going to sound like.

ok so rb 1090 it is !!!!!!!!but which pre amp ?

[miner]

There is nothing wrong with the RC-1070 - great phono stage on it. Also, very clean looking. I can't justify the extra $700 for the RC-1090 IF you can find one.
