    Different silver finishes

    Does anyone else notice there are some noticable difference in their silver finishes?

    My 1072 has much more texture and has much more shine then my 1068 or 1077. Not that he 1072 looks better, just different. At first it didnt bother me, but its starting too. It would be a hassel to return it, and who knows if I can find an exact match. Is this just a lack of quality control, or an isolated example?

    The silver finish on all 3 of my Rotel components match exactly.

    Purchased at the same time/same dealer in March of 2004.

      This is remedied by buying all black. :twisted:

      Without music to decorate it, time is just a bunch of boring
      production deadlines or dates by which bills must be paid.

          I like The look of the Rotel silverl/black components , the black only stuff is a bit drab but the silver finish shows marks to easily and is hard to clean.

              Hi,

              For those of you that followed the long running Sliver Digital Coax thread HERE there was some consternation (by myself and others) that with the RCD-1072 into the RSP-1098 I found it sounded better with the Silver Digital Coax than with my $200 Analog RCA... We all knew that the

              Hi!

              RCD-1072: faceplate changeable?
              by hendge
              Long story short .... recently bought a used RCD-1072 in black. As I'm now upgrading some other gear, I'm making an overall switch to silver. Is the faceplate on Rotel gear an easily replaced part? Can this be reasonably done by a user or dealer? And any idea how much the part would be?

              Hi,

              About a week ago I put a review style post in another forum in HTguide regarding my experiences with a Silver Coax made by Doug (aka "Lex") of www.catcables.com

              A friend (Club Rotel member) who heard the differences the cable made and hadn't seen the said

              by whmacs
              Hi All,
              I've been using my new RCD-1072 cd player connected to my Perreaux Headphone amp and Sennheiser HD-650 headphones for a couple of weeks now. The level of detail produced by the RCD-1072 is outstanding. Combined with a good pair of headphones you don't miss a trick from the CD. Well, just...
