    Is it a step up?

    I now have a Rotel RC 1070 preamp. Wonder if the RC 1090 would be a step up as far as quality of sound is concerned.? Just recently got an Anthem MCA20. Am very pleased with it. JNorth1178

    Why not wait for the RC-1082 which is supposed to be better than the (now-discontinued) RC-1090?

      I replaced my RC-1070 with a RC-1090 last year (last one at my dealer - paid $800). I noticed an improvement in soundstage and presence. I consider myself an pseudo-audiophile so I am not too 'happy' to see a bass and treble control on the new 1082

        When can we expect the 1082? And I wonder what the price tag will be? JNorth1178

            I'm guessing the 'Tone' button will allow you to turn off any bass/treble processing, though.

              Go from RC1070 to RC1090 or RC1082?
              by Jnorth1178
              I presently have the RC1070 and like it very much. Have the chance to get the discontinued RC1090 at good price. Will I see an appreciable sonic improvement in that upgrsde? Or, would you wait for the upcoming RC1082 and would anyone know at this point if the upgrade will mean better sound? I hear...

              by vifferboy
              Hello

              I just picked up a RC1090 from Audiogon, the unit is in excellent condition and sounds very nice. I had an RC1070 before which always seemed a bit bright to me, the RC1090 is very smooth.

              Anyway the one small downer on the deal is that the seller failed to mention...

              Stereo PreAmp Review: RC-1082 V RC-1070
              by miket
              Hi,
              I just wanted to give a few comments on the RC-1082 that I obtained recently. I moved my RC-1070 to my bedroom system and replaced it with an RC-1082 in the main system.

              1. Overall the difference is very noticeable, more so than I thought. I had figured that the weakest link...

              RC-1082: In stock and shipping
              by Kevin D
              Attached are pictures of the spec sheet for the new RC-1082 stereo pre-amp. Unfortunately they were not able to add a HT bypass to the unit.

              If you are upset they didn't add HT bypass, please call Rotel directly and tell them. Please don't clutter the forum posting how you're not going...
