Removing the lid of your amp/preamp


I have seen audiophiles remove the cages of their equipments be it SS or Valves. Some swear there is a sonic benefit to it. Anyone has done this?

Tube pre-amp is fine to remove lid. Solid State amp is a very bad idea. The SS amp bias is set according to temperature. Remove the lid and the amp will be all over the map in regards to stability/performance due to too much heat loss.
