Or maybe it was to let you know that the coals were not quite ready for the BBQ?!
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.
