Greetings to All, How do you cool your hot amp? Do you fan air in or away? From the top or the bottom. Is proper ventilation enough to keep the amp cool and healthy? What is the science and your experiences behind this practice?
Fans & Cooling = Noise. Not a good idea. As long as their is space around the amp, all is good. My tubes put out some heat, but the manufacturer already knew that when they created the design.
I live in the hot south and my tube amp and tube pre amp are located in a equipment closet. So I have a 10" fan set on low softly blowing down on my gear. Its still pretty warm in there, but not hot
I just had an AC company run 2 more ductwork lines to my room. Its a nice 68 degrees now. I also use an Aircom fan on top. All this should increase longevity and maybe performance. I have a 600 watt amp and its a room heater.
