    Changes to RB-1080?

    Hello...I just purchased my second RB-1080 and noticed two small differences from my first amp. The binding posts are different (clear plastic) and the amp seems to draw significantly more power on turn-on (popped a breaker!). After burn-in, both amps do sound the same.

    Does anyone know of any other changes that have been made recently to this amp?

    I know these differences are minor, but with the RSP-1066 pre-amp Rotel made a pretty major mid-production change (200MHz video switching) without adding a "Mark II" designation or something. Perhaps they did the same with the RB-1080?

    Thanks,

    Don

      I think the clear binding posts are just a production change. When I upgraded from a 1075 to a 1095 I noticed the same thing. I also upgraded some of my Energy speakers and they also did the same, with the clear binding posts. As for drawing more current, I'm not sure on that one. I didn't pop a breaker going from the old 1075 I had to the more powerful 1095.

          Just curious, are both amps plugged into the same cicuit and both coming on at the same time?

              New version vs Old RB1080
              by Al K
              To all curious RB1080 owners and potential owners,

              I called Rotel tech support personally to clarify the difference between the old and new version of the RB1080. The only difference is that the later version had two additional speaker binding posts added for bi-wiring convienience....

              The usual disclaimer applies...not scientific, yadda, yadda, yadda. (Though we did have a switcher to make changes immediately, and volume levels were controlled)

              OK...many of you know I've been demo'ing new speakers for awhile now. I even went so far as to buy a Radio Shack 4 speaker...

              SSP-800 and automated EQ: A Deal Breaker?
              by sikoniko
              I'd like to invite everybody from the HTGuide forum to participate, as I'd like to know if the lack of an AutoEQ feature in the SSP-800 is a deal breaker for you, and causes you to look at competing products.
              As long as it has a manual EQ, I'm happy!

              I'm indifferent. Manual EQ is sufficient, but I'd be happy with Audyssey!

              RB991/RB1080 for Dyn Audience 82
              by Belgarath99
              Hi

              I have heard that this is the best forum to talk Rotel.

              I am thinking of buying an used Rotel RB991 to add to my HT setup. I will use the pre-out of my Denon AVR 3805 to connect to the power amp to drive my Dynaudio Audience 82 speakers.

              I have heard comments...
