Hello Folks,
This is my friend's current system
CDP: Rotel RDV 1045
Preamp: Rotel RC1070
Power amp: Rotel RB 1080
Speakers: Monitor Audio GR20
He thinks his system is very forward sounding and does not resolve the music to his expectations. He is looking for a softer sound with more resolution. He thinks if he upgrades his preamp to a good tube preamp he will be able to get what he wants. Do you guys think thats the way to go. If so could you please advice on what sub $3000 tube preamp he should try. If not could you recommend what other components he should try to upgrade.
Thanks for the help.
