    Modding 1080

    hi all,
    Last night I opened my Rotel 1080
    and found out that some thing needed to upgrade
    at the input in XLR input we have OPA 134 P and some bypass capacitor which I don't know which model
    some Nichicon capacitors at the each side of the 1080
    the wires inside are so so OFC cables
    OH Oh I am tempted to upgrade my 1080

      I replace the cables from Rotel capacitors and from the OUTPUT 2 to the binding posts to with some better USA cables,
      I cant call the name of cables due to respect of all

      I also upgrde the 2 pairs of coupling capacitors of the OPA 134 with Elna simic capacitors
      because I use the XLR input of 1080
      All I have is just cleaner and more defined sound
      Next step: change OPA 134 if possible because the 8 pins are so small
      may be I don't dare to Replace this OPA

      Rotel is affordable but they have some miserrable poor PARTS inside

            Peerless HDS old and new series, potential and modding
            by capslock
            As Jon is obviously infatuated with the new HDS exclusive series and keeps referring to it in all kinds of threads, and as I usually take this as an excuse for further threadjacking, I guess it makes sense to open a separate thread. This is about the new series as well as any findings and thoughts about...

            RMB-1095 vs. three RMB-1080's
            by jlee
            Hello. I currently have an RMB-1095 5 channel amp. Couldn't be happier with it. Best amp for the money without a doubt. I've had this setup for 2 years now and was thinking of upgrading. I was going to slowly move towards the Classe SSP-30 MkII processor and CAV-180 5 channel amp, but they have been...

            Just bought RB-1080...excited yet kinda nervous
            by tboooe
            Hi there. I just bought the RB-1080 to power my B&W 805S speakers. After speaking to numerous people and reading this forum it sounds like the 805s would really benefit from the extra power. So I am pretty excited!

            However, I am also nervous about all of the blown fuse issues I...
