Smoke on my power amp

Smoke, don’t power up again.smoke, do not power up, unplug and  can McGrath’s for a check up.

.had a Rotel Rb- 1090 stereo amp, a beast w power and headroom., she made my old vega d9’s Sing like no other!

one afternoon I hit the power button, and I noticed a white flash, and a small puff of white smoke.
immediately unplug, the inrush current limiter had taken a dump.
   Less than a year after a 2K$ purchase. Just my luck, the map was amazing.

i moved on.

   Unplug, have the amp looked at, where’s there’s smoke, so,ething is not right.
have a tech check it out. Or send to manufacturer to fix.

smoke=bad

Safe with some, not safe with others. How do you know which one you have? Smoke I guess would be one way...

The old rotel power amps were bust proof, had a few.
Caps the size of beer cans for storage, pump the current with 2 rows of output tranis at 20 amps + per trani, they hardly warmed up.

At 5000 usd thats not on!
That is a monster, but then you guys in the states run monsters!
