I don't know if you've had the cover off, but I picked up a B&K amp that was "running hot" on one side. There was nothing wrong with it at all, it was just not a Right/Left symetrical layout inside. The heat sinks and output transistors were all on the right side of the amp. The right cover was always hot and the left side was stone cold, simple as that.
Uneven Temperature of 2-channel Parasound A23 Amp
I have a Parasound A23 amp. I noticed that the right channel of the amp is so much cooler than the left channel.
I first noted this when I left the amp for a few hours yesterday. Nothing was playing - just that the amp was on.
Although a bit warmer, the right channel seems also cooler after an hour of playing music.
Has anyone experienced this phenomenon?
