Upgrade from Rotel RCD-1072
Pdn, have you considered the RCD-1520? My dealer told me it's a big improvement on the 1072 and is a completely different machine. 
Best DAC under 2k US ?
Rockadanny, you took the words right out of my mouth! The Neko is the best digital I've ever heard. 
B&W PM1
Good lord...almost $600 for the matching stands? 
B&W PM1
The CM series and 600 series are made in China. I believe some earlier models of the CM range were made in England, however.Because of its similarities with the 800 series, I really hope the PM1 is a Made in England speaker. If not, B&W may ju...

Which one defines sound: Pre amp or Power amp?

I'm using a Neko Audio D100 external DAC and it made a huge improvement over the Rotel player. The RCD-1072 is a good budget player for the money but its musical presentation is pretty colored and on the dry side of things. I didn't realize this u... 
1K dac
