Thanks to help I've received on this forum, I'm now the owner of a used Rotel RB985MkII 5-channel amp. Now I'm looking for a used pre/pro (my budget for this piece of the system is only $1000)and have the following questions:
Are there any advantages, aside from aesthetics, to purchasing a matching Rotel pre/pro such as the RSP-985?
My system must serve as both my music and home theater system, and my usage is 70% music, 30% movies. I've noticed the following used pre/pros for sale lately in my price range and wonder if you have thoughts or opinions to share about them. A tuner is not necessary, but if the pre/pro had one I would use it.
Lexicon DC-1 Version 4.0
Rotel RSP-985
Adcom GTP-830 digital processing tuner/preamp
Sunfire Grand Theater (a Carver product?)
Any suggestions for other pre/pros that I should look for used, given the limiting factors mentioned before? I'm trying to locate and listen to as many brands of pre/pros as I can in the local B&M shops with only limited success so far, but I will keep after it.
Thanks for any and all help.
