Nothing. Protection light just came up on the MX600.......boo!

What's that? Amp?

Nice, Ron! These old turntables just don't give up.

Yamaha 2- channel amp. Pushing her a little too hard today and looks like things just got a bit warm. May have to go and grab a fan.........

Bad Ju JU Doug....it knows.....

We talked in front of it.........

Dude, rule of thumb!! ALWAYS fan cool your amps for longevity. I even fan cool one of my denon cassette decks because in my opinion, it just runs too hot.

 

[derek92994]

I have a fan sucking the hot air straight up on one of my pioneer pre amps, and the other I have a component sitting 3 inches above the amp with a fan blowing air from the back to the front. The component on top doesn't even get warm, nor does the Amp/Pre-Amp. Have never overheated an amp no matter how hard I drove it using this method.

D2, he finally got some speaks that will load his amp......

I know, I know, D2. Usually don't get on it that much and when I do, I have a fan, just got a little carried away with some 4 ohm speakers.

Can't wait to power those ESS with my WOPL. The little 120ishW/ channel amp and those AMT1 may not be the best match, huh?

 

[laatsch55]

Prolly not coupled with the low ohmage......what's the rating on the ESS's Doug?

 

[Elite-ist]

I poo-poo fan cooling. Tried it before on my Pioneer SX-D7000 receiver. I found with lowering the operating temperature of the receiver that proportionally for every five degrees of cooling I was losing one octave from male vocals.

Need to double- check, Lee but I wanna say at least 250/ W @ 4ohm, might be 275.

Good call Nando =)))

Dual Nad amps, fan cooling makes them shrink

Bwahahahhahahahahahahahaaaaaa!!!!

Sumbaca Nando??

Not, yet, Lee. Thanks for the accolades, guys. You know, if an unsuspecting newbie were to coontemplate joining right now and was thinking this was a serious conclusion, he wouldn't last long, here. This should be considered a pre-emptive form of filtering.

However, after saying that:

I backed up my observation of amplifier fan cooling by lowering the amp's heat sink temperature from 96 F down to 83 F. Took me a good 3+ hours of nursing the oscillating fans to get it down that low. The true test confirmed my findings as by the end of the evening, with the Pioneer receiver volume control knob at the 11 o'clock position, I succeeded in getting it to sound like Chet Baker was doing a cover of Cyndi Lauper's "Girls Just Want To have Fun."

Morningstar - Venus

Damn I like this album. Like Nazareth meets early Queen
