I have recently acquired a used Rotel RB 1572 power amp (yet to receive it though). It is born with two Icepower 500A modules. The unit was in production from 2009-2016 so it is safe to assume that the unit does not have the latest generation of Icepower's 500a module.
I was therefor wondering whether it would be feasible to replace the amp's old 500A modules with the latest gen 500A module? And would this be a relatively "easy" task for a novice (like me)? As I understand it, the newer modules of 500A series (and other Icepower series) are made to be "similar" to the original module so amp manufacturer's wouldn't need to do a complete redesign of their amp's if integrating a newer generation module.
For reference, you can see a picture of the Rotel RB 1572's internals on Rotel's website here: https://www.rotel.com/product/rb-1572 .
Any help and guidance would be much appreciated.
