Reducing room TEMP. when using tube equipment.


Hello
I live in California where it has been darn HOT. I Bi-Amp with old Audio Research D76A tube amps (Two). My problem:
When the Temp. goes into the 80’s, I really can not turn on my System. The room temp. is just too uncomfortable. As you might guess I do not have air conditioning. Has anyone tried to use the new PC computer cooling systems to remove the heat. I know very little about these liquid-cooling systems. Any other ideas? The flip side is … I love’m in the winter.

Regards
Ron

Get a small integrated tube amp like the PrimaLuna. Not enuf heat to make a difference and they sound pretty decent. Use it during the hot months. BTW, if you think the 80's are hot and you have no air conditioning I must assume you live in that foggy city by the bay (or very nearby). You don't get much sympathy from me - I dwell in the central valley. Its only 105 today, and its supposed to be 107 tomorrow. But as they say in Pheonix, its really very low humidity! :-)
