heat

i only use my stereo on sundays for 6 hours. i recently started to put paper towels above the air vents on my pre amp tuner and power amp to keep the dust out. i have a mcintosh mx132 and mc602. is this a bad idea? i know heat is the worst enemy for electronics but i don't play it loud anyway!

I put an air purifier in front of my system when not in use. Zero dust.

Make sure you do not run them with the cover on or you could hurt something in the long run but you can cover them any other time you want to.

Don't cover when in use. +3 for air purifier, I don't run it while listening. I just installed one for the entire house.

I run ’puter fans for heat removal, and anything vented has a shelf above it. Prefer practical over pretty.....although can be made so if desired.

I have to be next to them to hear them...
