    I'm still looking for used 1066, 1068/ 1075 combo, or 1067. Is there a way to find out how old the gear is ?, will serial # show the sale date ?,
    thanks for any info...

    I'm not sure if any part of the serial contains a date code, but the end numbers are sequential to the build order. You can always call Rotel and they will give you a good time-frame.

    Any reason other then knowing how long it's been used?

      Well, as I'm looking for used in silver. They price will differ if unit is under 1year old or 3-4years old. Most of them look like new and if refered and sold like new, I would asume it matters. Don't thing wear off.
      for instance/ slitly used 1075 s' for $800, 3 years old. New 1000. - dscount + tax, maybe new is better deal, but if unit is 6month for 800., I would think that is a good deal.
      any advise would be welcome....

        I don't think wear on items like these can really be compared, when you're only dealing with a maximum of 3-4 years old. Plus since the warranty is not transferable, paying more for a newer unit is not going to guarantee you a longer life.

            Wife decided between seperates and RSX 1067
            by Nolan B
            Appears my wife made the final decision on what I should do with regards to upgrading from my rsx 1055. I was trying to decide between 1068/1075 and 1067. It turns out she gave me the RSX 1067 for xmas, and I have to admit I was very surprised with it

            I could have returned it, but...

            RSX 1067 computer connection
            by kiwi_frog
            On the back of the RSX 1067 there is an ethernet port - with a dongle that converts it to a serial port. My question is - Can I control the receiver via the serial port, and if so, where is the software avaliable. I know that its designed to do software upgrades, but on my old Marantz SR7400 I could...

            Hi all:

            I will purchase a pair of B&W CM4 speakers and a CM series central channel. I live in an apartment right now so don't have the space to setup 5.1 but I will move into a house in next two year. I am also going to a Rotel receiver or pre/pro/amp combo. My candidate choices are:...

            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...
