Hey guys, new to the forum. I'm glad to have found it.
I just picked my rotel RA-970bx from my local stereo repair shop.
They told me they could not fix it and its to old to get parts.
It needs a new input selector, and a new power button and power cord.
The power cord should be easy, the power button is just sticky so not a big deal at this point.
The problem I'm having is, the sound is cutting in and out more so at low volume levels, and the sound quality is just horrible.
This integrated amp is in mint condition to look at, I've had since new and love the sound I get from it.
Could it be fixed and could this be something I could do myself, I'm handy but never tried to fix something like this before.
I was also thinking about replacing it with another rotel from that same vintage, but I was also told from the same repair shop to stay away from used rotel gear from the 1990's because I would be asking for more problems of the same.
I like the rotel sound with my B&W 610i speakers, I was thinking a preamp power amp from the mid to late 90's would be a perfect fit for me if I can't fix what I have.
Can anyone point me in the right direction, all suggestions are welcome.
Thanks for any and all help
