Hey all,
my RB1080 died a few weeks back - the old no left channel trick!!
I am local in Melbourne and dropped it off to International Dynamics in Richmond. I explaind to them what Aussie Geoff had gone through with them personally, as I am sure many of you all have in your various locations, and was given the "this is the first that we hear of this problem" :M
Well after 6 days in the shop, I picked it up this morning with 1x6.3A fuse replaced :M :M :M
I thought that Rotel was upgrading these fuses worldwide to 8A on the 1080's to stop this re-occuring fault with these units. I am bi-amping with QED Silver Anniversary Bi-wire and am using the trigger on my 1068 to turn on the 1080 and my 1075.
Pissed off as I was, I went to RS components and picked up a 10 pack of 8A slow blow fuses (Min 5x20mm Anti-Surge, (T), LBC 218 Series 8A). Am I right to replace the 6.3Ax4 with these?? without voiding warranty??
I basically don't want to be without my 1080 for another 2 weeks for a 5 minute job - I am a comms engineer and have changed plenty of fuses out
many thanks in advance
