Problem with my RB1090

[Joseki]

I am quite bummed right now and am looking for a bit of help. It seems that I have lost the right channel on my RB-1090 amplifier. The left channel works just fine. I've swapped out sources and have verified that the amplifier is the problem.

So, what am I in for here? Is there a fuse that might have blown? If not, am I looking at hundreds of dollars in repairs? I am just trying to get a ballpark idea of what is going on here.

Thanks for the help!

It's most likely just a fuse (inside the amp). This isn't a common issue on the 1090 so I would be sure to check your cables and speakers before running it again.

If it's not a fuse, the amp does come with a 5 year warranty.

I recently biwired my speakers. Additionally, I have a separate integrated amp for 2-ch listening. If the RB-1090 was fired up with the speaker cable on the floor, is it possible that the hot and ground wires touched and caused a fuse to blow?

That could definitely cause the problem. It should go into protection mode, but if it was shorted during the initial turn on there's a greater chance of blowing.

I've got the cover off but cannot see where a fuse might be located. Anyone have any experience with this particular amp?
