Hi all, need you'all help to differentiate Rotel rcd06, rcd1070 & rcd1072. I plan to purchase a used cd player. Which one is better in sound quality? Thanks for your advise.
-
Pre-Pro - Onkyo Pr-Sc 5507
Power Amplifier - Rotel RMB 1095 & Rotel RB 1080
Speakers - B&W 700 Series
Subwoofer - Velodyne SPL1200R
Projector - Optoma HD20 -
I hate to say, but you may should consider a Cambridge 540 series or 640 series player instead. Unless you want all you gear to match, then get the 1072 for sure.
You may want to look into a preamp with HT bypass if you are using analog and want to have it sound good. If you don't want to spring for a preamp, I would not waste money on a high end analog player w/ the Onkyo. Just get a nice transport and use a digital connection. I have a Parasound silver preamp with HT bypass I am selling. It would work great in that setup and would give you an excellent 2ch analog section.
Either that or upgrade your pre/pro to a Rotel RSP-1069. -
Can't say I agree with Tommy. It wasn't until I bought the RCD-1072 that I realized how cold and bright the Cambridge 640C was. The Rotel player blew it away. Okay...maybe not by THAT much but it was easily the better player.
Apart from a few articles, I still can't believe the magazines never gave the RCD-1072 the respect that it deserves.Comment

Hello guys,
I have the rcc-1055 & rcc-955 cd changers. Smooth jazz is my choice of music. Rotel makes the best cd players ;x(June

Hmm.. In my setup RCD-1072 was the weak link that made sound not so good.. I still have RCD-1072 but not using any more.. It's replaced by Pioneer DVD 610 as transport and Musical Fidelity V-Dac.. I higly recomend V-DAC instead of CD Player.. Also i had a test Rotel RCD-1072 vs Pioneer as transport and with Pioneer sound better. As alone player Rotel is better then Pioneer.. But this V-Dac made a very big step up in my setup.. Also i recomend Pioneer PD9-D9-J SACD Player instead of RCD-1072Originally posted by cZwUV620

Hmm I am surprised to say that about the Cambridge but do not misinterpret what my comment that I was saying anything bad about the 1072. I was more looking at it from a financial perspective that the preowned 540c might be a more bang for the buck.Originally posted by cZwUV620
I have heard the new Rotel 15 series CD player and it sounds truly impressive. It is definitely not a re-bagged 1072 though. I highly recommend that one if it is in your price range.Comment

Hi all,
Maybe this is not the place to discuss this, but I have quite a problem on my hands. A couple of months ago I got me the RDV1040 at an excellent price. My aim was to go for the RCD1072, but I had budget constraints. Times have changed and I am in business for the RCD1072. However,... -
Thinking of getting a better dedicated cd player,going used.Has anyone compared the rotel rcd1072 to the arcam ct73t.Both would be about the same price.Since i upgraded my dvda/sacd player i thought i would do this as well.Any opinions would be appreciated.Player would be via analog of rotel rsx105... -
After Spending $26k on my system, I thought that it was about time that I got a decent CD Player. My $200 Toshiba was probably a serious weak link in my music listening experience. Now, how much of an improvement am I likely to see (I am picking it up on friday) over my dvd player?
