| Parasound 1500A amp extremely hot even at idle? That amp only runs in class A mode for maybe a few watts maximum, so it should not run as hot as Mminor is describing. | |
| Parasound 1500A amp extremely hot even at idle? I'd contact Tony Pointes (sp?) at Parasound -- the bias may have drifted, so it might need to be re-biased; I had a similar problem with a Parasound amp, which was cured by re-biasing. If you're tech savvy and get the schematic for the 1500A from ... | |

| Best Inexpensive Tuner? The Onkyo T-9 (analog) and Luxman T-02 (digital) are two of the best budget tuners I've heard. The NAD 4020A and Proton 440 aren't bad either, and can be found used for reasonable prices. | |
