smoke from a pre-amp. why?

The other day smoke started coming out of my rc-995 pre amp. Then it died. Needless to say, it's on its way back to Rotel, but I wondered if anyone had any theories or opinions on why this could have happened. I had nothing unusual plugged into it, volume was normal, the unit was on top of a cd player on a shelf with open sides and back and about 1 1/2 inches clearance before the next shelf above.

All electronical gear runs on smoke. Once the smoke comes out - they quit working. ~ George W. Bush

I hope it was under warranty. If it is out of warranty, I hope the repair isn't to costly. Good Luck to you on this.
