How hot is too hot?


When i leave my Parasound Hint 6 on overnight, it is hot to the touch (top grill), not warm, in the morning. There is nothing on the sides and 6 inch clearance on the top.I even tried switching the input to something nothing is connected to - like AUX or PHONO. Doesn't help. I have to turn it off now when i don't use it. No big deal, but it seems like something must be wrong to produce that much heat when not in use.

Is this normal? What part of the unit produces that much heat? What can i do?

My FW J2 runs hot. That is even taking the nerve damage to my hands into consideration. It sounds great,and makes a nice space heater in the winter months. I wouldn’t have it any other way. I also don’t leave it on 24/7.  It takes about an hour or so to hit full stride.
