    991 Running Warm

    I recently added an older 991 amp, and I have noticed that it runs much warmer than the 1075. It seems to work perfectly, but Im concerned that in the long run it might damage itself or some other nearby equipment. Im planning on changing out the stock zip power cord for an IEC outlet, and much improved power cord. I dont know if that wil do anything for the heat situation, but Im sure it will give it even better sound characteristics.
    Does anyone have a take on this, or should I not worry, as in, if it aint broke, dont fix it.
    Thanks,
    Mike

      My 991 runs warmer than my 1075. Orginally I thought b/c I was only utilizing 3 channels on the 1075 However recently I pulled my 991 and incorporated it into my dedicated 2 channel system, still the 991 runs warmer than the 1075 with all 5 channels driven Also, upgraded the PC of the 991, much better sounding, tighter faster bass, wider soundstage and more air but this not cool things

      Good listening

          Question with using receiver as pre/pro for 1075
          by myki
          I just got a Rotel RMB-1075 and a Marantz SR4500 as a temporary pre/pro. I will need to save up for the RSP-1066 or 1068 first.

          I've hooked all my speakers to the 1075 so the receiver only acts as a pre/pro. I've noticed that even with no speakers attached to the receiver, it gets pretty...

          i'm using the rb-991...

          Will new power cord make that much difference?
          by Neal_C
          Hello to everyone.
          I'm new to this forum and a new owner of Rotel equipment.
          I picked up the RMB-1075 about 2 weeks ago to power my Def. Techs. I read the reviews on the power cord and most people weren't impressed with it. I agree with them. Seems like a 1k component could come with a...

          1068/1075 1st. 24 hours
          by Zomax
          Hooked up the 1068/1075 yesterday.

          Initially had the units unboxed and setup at the dealer. At the dealer they
          were dead quiet. At my place, there is a slight hum (6" from the speakers).
          I'll track down the ground loop in due time.

          Initial impressions:...
