Sound of 1070 compared to 1050? - 11/16/06 12:25 AM
A few years back, I ordered a 1050 receiver. I really liked the sound when using digital sources, but with no analog bypass, I wasn't entirely happy with its performance from analog sources and I eventually returned it.
I listen almost entirely to digital sources now, so this is no longer a concern. I'm thinking of giving the 1070 a try, but I wonder if the sound is similar to the 1050. The 1050 was designed and made by an Oriental firm (something like East Tech, as I recall), while the 1070 (at least the pre/pro part) seems to be based on a Sherwood OEM design.
Is there anyone who has owned both units who can compare the overall sound quality for me? I'm trying to avoid having to return the 1070 if it sounds significantly different. Thanks in advance.
