Hi Ralph, what happened with your prototypes? Any closer to your class Ds?
Are there any tube amps that don't give off any---
HEAT!!
I have a very small dedicated listening room, and so I was wondering IF there are any tube amps..I guess hybrid or all tube ( although more all tube)- that simply give off NO heat or very very little heat after full warm up. Since the climate seems to be getting hotter, it would be nice to have the benefits of a tube amp with no heat whatsoever. ( is this even possible?).
Running AC isn't my preferred way of listening in a small room, so this question is now on my mind. I do not want to consider Class D solid state amps...as I know they are an option from a heat perspective...but just tubes.

I have a small integrated amp with 6C33C that put out a lot of heat and I biased these low, to the point that the entire amp innards get very hot, I set a Noctua silent fan underneath which helps with the heat but in the OP's case will only move the heat away from the amp into the room possibly making it hotter, I found a company which specializes in all these cooling solutions ACINFINITY you might be familiar with, like others have stated it may be easy to run a duct to the outside or other room with an inline fan, these are supposed to be quiethttps://www.acinfinity.com/duct-fan-systems/ 32 dba is the equivalent of a quiet rural area so it should be pretty silent Just my 2c |
