"To Almarg: Nice spacing on your post. The conductive paste that you mentioned was on all the Heat Pipes that I have. It made no difference in sound in my system when I removed the paste with Denatured Alcohol. Another strange finding is that the Heat Pipes on Power amps sound better with the fins down on top of the transformer. But with all 4 digital players it works best with the base on top of the unit (conductive paste removed)."
To Inpep, Kijanki, Gs5556 - All good debate and theory and all, but this tells me it has nothing to do with efficient heat transfer. What it does have to do with I have no clue, but it ain't efficient heat transfer.
