Yes, you can definitely do that, however Kal eluded to what could happen if you're not technically inclined and/or merely experimenting. It would also void the warranty. I had a Rotel RB-1080 amp internal upgrade performed by Rotel, where they replaced some resistors and capacitors, etc.
On a separate note, I've been watching the Rotel RSP-1098 mod forum, replacing boards with better components (opamps, etc.), but my skills have deteriorated as well as my finances, so I'm not willing to take that chance. If you feel confident I'm sure you can upgrade certain components, just make sure you have the proper schematics, tools, and that you utilized prior tested replacement components for your equipment, before proceeding.
We also have a Mission Impossible DIY forum for answers to specific questions. Hope this helps.
Peace and blessings,

If by technically inclined you mean possessing sound knowledge of basic electrical theory and experience working with electronic circuits, knowledge of the precautions necessary when handling semiconductor devices, excellent soldering skills, etc., that's fine.Originally posted by jpvnnvpj
If you can't say yes to all of the above then as advised by others here, attempting mods yourself can do more harm than good. The fact that you have to ask about making mods leads me to suspect that some of your answers may be no.
I just completed what you can consider minor upgrades to my Classé CA-300 amp and can tell you based on my experience with the project, that its was not for the inexperienced or faint-hearted.Last edited by Glen B; 31 August 2007, 04:47 Friday.

I currently have a 1075 w/ a Denon 2805(that I use as a preamp) and thinking about upgrading the audio portion of my system(been enjoying HD DVD lately and pretty sure that the video portion cannot get any better) but not sure if I should go with a stronger amp like a used 1095 or pick up a used 1068.... -
I have been looking at a Carver M 10t with the MKII upgrade. Has anyone had any experience with this amp? Will be driving a pair of B&W 705s 2 channel only for music with a Denon 2808 for the pre.
Thanks as always -
Hi I was hoping someone could give me some advice, I have the chance to get a pair of the 603 s3's for $400. I currently have the original DM640's, would this be a upgrade? The 640's I have are in great shape, but I keep thinking that the newer speakers would be a smarter choice due to the age of... -
