Heat in class A equipment


Heat is one of the biggest enemies of electronic equipment. Does anyone know if this Heat is only at the output transistors and their heatsinks o8is it also present in other components within the unit. 

 

I was planning to remove the top cover and with a IR thermometer going to check temps..

 

Has anyone done this?

I have a JC5 that I keep inside a cabinet.  When I first got it, it ran really hot.  I think there was not enough space around the unit to circulate any air.   Then I bought one of these and put it on top, and it really helps.  It's also very quiet.  Great company to deal with.
