Damn, my RB-1090 is broke

[ghostbuster]

Today my RB-190 failed to work, it doesn't do anything when i turn it on.
I go to my dealer thursday, i hope it's only a fuse or something.

Do you have another power cord you could try? When my RB-1070 blew its fuses the standby light would still light up.

[ghostbuster]

I did and it's no different, it is totally dead also the stand by light.

Did you check the breaker for that outlet?

Did you check the breaker for that outlet?

I did, all my other components work fine on the same outlet.

I brought my machine to the doctor, i hope they treat him well

We're pulling for ya!

Good luck mate, I'm sure all will be well. I just got my 1080 back from the doctor a few days ago. It had developed an internal problem with the output transistors, requiring their replacement (and also the fuses on that channel - output transistor short -> large current -> fuses smoked).

Point is, 8 days away and now it's back and working as well as ever. Hang in there!

Damn that sucks, I hope its a cheap fix for ya.

[ghostbuster]

the machine still had a few month's of quarantee, so that's my luck. I only had to transport it to a dealer in Amsterdam, walking with my cart.

I hope it all turns out well for you! Some of this Rotel failures I've read here makes me nervous, I've had all my Rotel stuff for a couple of years with no problems, I hope I don't have any cause I really like my RB-1090 and other Rotel stuff I have.

[ghostbuster]

i keep you folks informed what the problem was when i have it back.

[badboyspack]

Thanks ghostbuster

I use my RB-1095 to drive my frontspeakers and then i miss my RB-1090 more than my ex-girlfriend

The RB-1090 has so much more drive and juice, i want it back !

[ghostbuster]

I just recieved a mail for my dealer, i can pick it up friday

[ghostbuster]

I have it back, some fuses were blown.....i'm happy again.

Maybe it better to leave it on all the time, i don't know ?

[miner]

Glad to hear only fuses - my RB-1070 had same issues a few months back. Maybe not only a RB-1080 issue any longer. One good thing came out of my RB-1070 fuse issues - a new RB-1092. I couldn't live 2 weeks without my music.

[ghostbuster]

the RB-1092 will be next i think, i'm happy with the sound of the RB-1090 but i hope it will work now for a few year. Transporting the damn thing is not funny.

[ghostbuster]

i lived the 2 weeks with my RB-1095 and that's a huge step back. I only use it to drive my center and rear speakers.

[mike c]

can you describe how the 1095 is a huge step back? im curious as to how much difference the 1090 has over the 1095/1080

[ghostbuster]

I always have the opinion that it's hard to describe sound. But to give it a try: the RB-1090 has more feel for the music, more bass the is sound less flat and you can better divide the different intruments. Don't get me wrong, i lived with the RB-1095 for years and it's ok if you don't know what the RB-1090 can do for you're system. Maybe it's also because i have big speakers who need much power.

thanks, the bigger aw35 seems to have 6 ohms 87db sensitivity and a 10-12" woofer
no wonder you need the power.
