I have an RB 980 BX Stereo Amp. Of course this unit is several years old, but, I love the sound. The amp is working fine, but, over time some items (caps, etc.) can start to drift from original specifications. I don't want to buy a new amp. Has anyone had their amp 'upgraded' with new and or better internal parts from one of the services that list their service on the web. If so, any recommendations as to whether or not to do this or a service you recommend will be greatly appreciated. Thanx in advance.

The first ‘real’ amp I ever had was the RB-980 purchased in 1993.
I just sold it 3 years ago & and it was in perfect working order, but I am sure it would have benefited from some re-capping & TLC on the Rebuild/Refurbish side of things.
I currently have a RB-990 that was R&R’d by the Rotel service center (not a certified service center) that powers the rear surrounds in my system. It is a wonderful amp in its own right and has no need for any concession to other amps in its class.
I have a local shop with one of the best audio electronic technicians in the country. He has performed repair & upgrades to my equipment and by best friend’s including our RB-1090’s and my Carver C-19 Pre. If you are interested in talking to them, I can PM contact info to you. -

Thanks
WKHANNA (Bill),
Thank you for the reference. I called and they don't open until late. Always nice to get information from someone who has actual experience with a supplier/vendor.

Can't speak enough for Tom and VintageHiFi of Pittsburgh!!! They fixed my RB-1090 for me when it took a surge. Definitely worth sending stuff to them to get fixed and Bill is right, probably one of the best techs in the country!
Definitely no fear of sending something to them... and if they need any Rotel Service Manuals, I can get the manuals to them.Digital Audio makes me Happy.
