Rotel rsp-966 -> rsp 1066 upgrade

[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 for me.
My power-amp is the RMB-1095

bye,
Arjan :thanku:

I don't have the answer to your question, just wanted to welcome you to HTG! Hopefully, the answer will be along shortly...

I'm not positive but I thought I'd heard someone comment that the differences weren't that great between the two models other then the obvious format additions in the new model.

Someone posted that the noise floor on the 1066 was lower than on the 976, so I would assume it would be better than then 966 too.

If you are interested in a 1066, an economical way would be to try and pick up a used one when people start selling theirs to upgrade to the 1098. (unless of course you are willing to spend the big bucks to get a 1098).
