@mylogic Imho if you can fry eggs on your amp you're into or just about needing to replace it....unless you're into runny.
Over medium myself...I bring the bacon...
How hot is too hot?
I am running a Gryphon Diablo 300 to drive a pair of Magico A3. My room size is around 3m*4.5M. I usually listen at around the 80db level, mainly to jazz and classical music.
My room temperature is almost always kept at 26 degrees Celsius in the summer. After operating after an hour or so, the heat sinks of the 300 often gets up to 50 degrees with the top cover at 38 degrees. My dealer told me these temperatures are normal but I feel this is hot (too hot?).
I should also add that the amp is placed on the top of a flat open shelf so there is no question on ventilation.
Any experience by other Diablo 300 users to share?
TIA!

@2psyop ....and one can diy the relative same by shopping ’raw’ computer fans. Been fanning since Houston, so been cool for decades now. Have considered fanning voice coils, since I ’push’ some things harder than usual. |
@mylogic *L* I took it for the ancient 'hot enough to...' aside, and anyway I wouldn't treat a Krell like that...heard one, checked the tag$ and stayed in warp after an impulse turn.... "Just wasn't in my universe then, nor later." Ought to be a visual Snickers.....the Id Beast with sota graphics ought to make the front rows worry about blood stains... The guys always seemed to want the single-malt whiskies....women generally more creative in a request... *G* I'm not paranoid much.....but have enough for now...thanx....😒 |
@mylogic *L* Not familiar with the show, but know that Brits like to tease Aussie's a lot...and the only monkeys that might boil it's butt are those that hang our in hot springs in Japans' winter... (In the background a pained *screech* erupts) Yeah, it ought to be a hoot.....in the original, the crew shooting little white hyphens at an electric beast was the lamest effect of the movie.... ForbidPlanet was very loosely based on The Tempest by WS....Walt P, acting like a stage show trooper gave his death 'Shakespearian weight'....which felt 'dialed in'.... The planet, in retrospect, looked like Palm Springs.... Cheery-Oh, J |
