Rotel CD player or not
|
New member Username: NytefogPost Number: 7 Registered: Dec-05 | i just ordered a rotel 1067 and am now looking into getting a CD player. I want a pretty high quality unit. I'm not sure if Rotel is a good pick or maybe something else. What are some other brands that other would recommend looking at? NAD? |

In terms of mid I'd go for Rotel for it has clear vocal reproduction. Both have HDCD decoder but Rotel is upgradable with a detachable power cord. Rotel RCD-1072 build looks stylish and strong but the black side ears are kinda space consuming. You may not fit it nicely on a standard rack. |

I listened to the 1072 yesterday with a Rotel integrated driving Paradigm Studio 20's. The system had great drive and dynamics. The Rotel player isn't as open and airy in the middle as the NAD but it is really a matter of taste which you prefer. |

Anonymous | both the Rotel and the NAD are overhyped, just get yourself the Music Hall and you'll be very happy. |
