McCormack DNA-1 runs hot


I would like to know if someone had any experience with a McCormack DNA-1 amp running hot. I just got one used (updated rev. B) and I am using it with a pair of Magnepans MG-12. It becomes hot when on event without music.

Thanks.

I just checked using a kill-a-watt meter and the idle draw on my amp after one minute is 145w (@120.7v); the meter also read 1.74 amps. The volt reading was creeping up a bit, but seemed to stabilize. Nice to see Steve adding his comments here. My amp has the Rev A+ treatment from 1999 to 2001 period (two separate updates). Great amp, but haven't bothered to compare with others. I'd still call it "hot". :)
