    Lexicon to Rotel...Opinions Wanted.

    I had the opportunity to listen to the Rotel and while it is a very nice piece it is not on par with even a Lexicon DC-1 v4. The flexibilty is just not there which is what make the Lex so great. Eric, can you elaborate on this? Are you referring to sound quality or tweakability of the...

    Lexicon to Rotel...Opinions Wanted.

    Well, I can't speak much for the Lexicon either from first hand experience, but for what it's worth, a reputable audio dealer of both Lexicon and Rotel preamps in my area recommended the Rotel 1066 over a used Lexicon DC1 or DC2 with Version 4 software (which he also had available). I also...
