My Ayre AX-7e Integrated amp vs. an upgrade to the Ayre EX-8 Integrated amplifier
Ayre Customer Support reports "The Ayre EX-8 amplifier does run quite hot and we have gone to a vented lid similar to what the AX-7 uses for ventilation. This helps a ton.  We still recommend the Myrtle Wood blocks for the additional ventilation a...
