RB1080 replacement
Does anyone know if the 3x same failure is an automatic free replacement or is at Rotel"s discression? If different things caused my left channel to blow then is this considered a 3 time failure?

Replacement is always at Rotel's discression. Three time failure just makes it more likely they will replace it.Jerry Rappaport -

Sounds like you need the Cap/Resistor/Fuse upgrade done, my first unit had blown left channel fuse 3 times over only a few months, on the 3rd time the local dealer replaced it with a new unit saving me the time and hassel of shipping it for repair. However a couple of months later I had the same problem (4th time) but on the second unit, after that the distributor replaced the 2nd unit with a 3rd new RB-1080, however this time they did the upgrade and I haven't had a problem since.
If you have not had the upgrade through any of the earlier repairs I would be pushing for a new RB-1080 with the upgrade. You shouldn't have a problem from then on.Bits of HT & 2ch Stuff: Rotel, Pro-ject, Oppo, Bel Canto, Elektra Audio, Benchmark, Panasonic, DSPeaker, Epson, Slim Devices, Belkin, Philips Pronto, Harmony, URC, Sennheisser, AKG, HTPC under development, KEF, Whatmough, Definitive Technology & Pardigm Signiture speakersComment

yes indeed
Looking at my prior service records, neither repair went all the way. The 1st did the 6.3a fuse, the 2nd 8a and a cap. Hopefully the 3rd will be the whole upgrade and the lucky winner.......Comment

OK, i'm very frustrated... i set up my 1068 and don't feel that it made that much of a difference, if any, over using my onkyo receiver as the processer with my 1075. I was expecting it to blow me away... on top of that, i now have buzzing coming from all channels that i didn't have with the onkyo.... -
This is the 3rd time my rb1980 has blown the left channel upon shut down and I am very unhappy. I emailed tech support 0n Feb. 22 and have not received a reply which is making me even angrier. I explained in my email that the first 2 times it was under warranty and now it is not, which is making me... -
I blew a fuse in my Rotel RA-01 the other day. Being that I got the amp as a graduation present and of course the person who gave it to me no longer has the receipt, I decided to try and fix it myself. Today I opened it up and found the bad fuse. On it, it reads "T4L 250V." Does that mean... -
