I did have a Rotel RB 1080 loose the left channel at only 5 hours old



This seems a very common problem with Rotel RB-1080, as I often read in at Club Rotel. It seems that it is caused by using the 12V trigger option. I do use it with my 1080, and haven't had any problem so far (crossing the fingers!!!)
