Well said. In addition to WAF and overheating the listening room reasons, I decided to suspend my Aleph 2 monos in well-perforated plastic milk crates on hanging racks bolted to my floor joists in the basement, under my speakers, thus providing upward convection cooling, a lower ambient temperature, and use of long XLRs and short speaker cables. My PoBoxSW allows remote powering via a toe-operated toggle on the carpet under my rack.
Electronic component life is correlated to the 5th power of temperature (or is it voltage?), if I recall. So keep it cool!
