Thanks for sharing the pictures! I was curious how it looked inside, as I have the RB-1090 and I can see by the pictures that the RB-1080 has an excellent build too! I enjoyed getting to see the inside and thanks again for sharing!!!!- Bottom

Great looking unit, but what's with the tape holding the wires on to the panel? Did they run out of tie mounts and wire ties?Emotiva UPA-700 Amp

Its a nice amp, no doubt about it. However, like the Parasound amps, there's a lot of point to point wiring snaking all over the place. Compare and contrast with the clean Classe and Levinson internals.

This is a very interesting point. I'm curious now: Does having point-to-point wiring make any difference to the performance of the units? Does it only affect looks and nothing more?- Bottom

I was waiting till the 1080 chatter slowed down before hijacking the thread with 1098 pics. I say your timing was good.Jerry Rappaport- Bottom

Concerning the 1075, I was just anxious to see the "inner life", so I took off the hood :T- Bottom

Levinson stuff has the most impressive looking insides I've ever seen. Some of the amps have caps in them the size of coke bottles...- Bottom

The Rotel RB-1090 is very impressive inside too, 8 coke pop can size capacitors, as well as two very large transformers. A real joy to see the quality built inside these!- Bottom

I've been curious what a Rotel RC-1070 pre-amp looks like on the inside, but I've yet to see one, even a search on the internet, no pictures of the inside.- Bottom

Concerning the 1098, there was no such sealing and Rotel assured me that the warranty will be untouched when I open the top cover in order to modify the digital board (see pictures above).- Bottom

I have 8 different Rotel equipment and none have the greenish plasticine on the screws on the outside, but does have it in the inside on some of the circuit boards and transformers. Talking with tech support about a question I had, he had me take a look on the inside to read a number in order for him to answer my question correctly, no harm was done and it didn't void warranty, just don't touch anything inside when you take a peak.- Bottom

If you do have the greenish plasticine on the outside screws, then do not open it unless you get the ok from Rotel to make sure you don't void your warranty.- Bottom

That picture of the Rotel RB-1090 is the original design, the larger one. The revised version is slightly smaller height wise. The original speaker terminals weren't all that nice but the revised version included very nice professional 5-way speaker terminals. The revised version (new RB-1090 today) also mount the transformers opposite from each other, one in front, and one in back. It is no longer mounted side by side. The newer revised version made some nice changes here and there that I like better than the original. Both RB-1090's that own are the new revised version.
The original RB-1080 only included one set of speaker terminals but now the new revised version includes two for bi-wire or second set of speakers. The RB-1090 always had the second set.- Bottom
