Hi, we are talking only hot to the touch? If so I use to own an HCA 2003a and it use to run hot as well and same for my Halo A21 ,just make sure its got good ventalation and it should be fine. And kudos on the great low level detail it produces, I use to spend many a latenite enjoying music with the HCA' sometimes wish she was still here!
Parasound HCA-2200II Runs Very Hot
I just acquired this unit through our local Craigslist. Unit is almost pristine cosmetically. The sound too, was exceptional. I found it to be better than the McCormack DNA-1 Deluxe it replaced. I am not kidding! Listening at low volume levels was quite revealing as the lows and the highs were quite apparent. I had not heard the highs and the lows on the DNA-1 Deluxe at low listening levels. Anyway, back to my point, the HCA-2200II runs very very hot when it is played for long periods of time - like for a few hours. Would like to know from others who own or have owned it if they are aware of this heat issue. It drives a pair of B&W Nautilus 802 speakers.
