    RB991+ rsp 1066/68 big difference vs marantz pre?

    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    wywong ask about upgrade Denon 3803 as a pre/processor and the RMB1075 with a RSP1066 or RSP1068.

    SOME PEOPLE SAID:
    "I'd say no, the main difference between the 3805 and the Rotel separates is the amplifier section, which you allready 'upgraded'.
    I went through a simular situation when first adding a 1075 to my Marantz SR5200 (also featured DPLII) and later replacing the Marantz with the 1068. Since the 3803 is a superior pre/pro than the SR5200, I expect the differences to be even smaller...

    Good luck!"

    OTHER PEOPLE SAID:
    "Interesting Weijst since I found that when I upgraded from my Denon receiver to a Rotel pre amp the jump was huge even though both were acting as pre amps."
    OR
    "Same here when upgraded from my Yamaha RX-V2400 to RSP-1068. I'd listened to the RSP-1066 as well, but the 1068 is a totally different machine (sonically as well)"

    AND IM IN A BIG HOLE...I HAVE A MARANTZ SR 7400 AS PRE WITH RB 991

    CAN ROTEL RSP 1066 OR RSP 1068 DONE BETTER JOB THAN MARANTZ ?
    I HAVE RB 991 NOT RMB 1075 WHO SEEMS GOOD SYNERGY WITH RSP 1066/68.

    WHEN I TELL BETTER SAY 1200 EUROS BETTER!!!
    DYNAMICS, WOMAN SINGING IN YOUR ROOM, FINGERS IN GUITARS, BREATH IN MICRO, EACH APLAUSE..EACH DETAIL ...YOU UNDERSTAND ME?
    CAN THIS CHANGE...MARANTZ SR 7400 VS ROTEL RSP 1066/RSP 1068
    DO AS BIG JOB? (IN A STEREO RB 991)

    THANKS
    !!

    Gizmo,

    I upgraded from a Denon 3802 to Rotel... and for music in particular the diference was very marked for music with much more relaisc voice and instraments... First I added amplifiers (the RB-1080 and RMB-1075) to the Denon.... Big improvment... Then replaced the Denon as a pre-pro - amaxing improvment... So I say go for it!

        I came from a Marantz sr6300. When I moved to separates the sound just simply opened up.

        For 2 channel listening, a dedicated pre-amp can still out perform many pre-pros.

            RSP 1068 or Stereo Pre-Amp
            by Ross Smith
            At present I have a RSP 1066 and the RB 985 power amp, previously I have owned the RSP 980 and the RSP 976. The 1066 is a nice smooth sounding Pr-Amp but compared with my other pre-amps I find it overly smooth. I would like a bit more bite in the treble region, with DVD's it's fine as it tames down...

            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...

            Rotel rsp-966 -> rsp 1066 upgrade
            by ghostbuster
            Hi guys,

            Is it worth the cost to upgrade my RSP-966 pre-amp to the RSP-1066 ?
            Does the 1066 really sound better ? I know the 1066 has pro-logic II and 7.1 but that's not enough for me to replace my current amp. I listen more music cd's than DVD's so the stereo quality is very important...
