Modding 1080

[Mig17]

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
..........

Please let us know the outcome and supplies used.

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

Good lord! Next people will be wanting to put designer glasses on the Mona Lisa.
