Don't underestimate the heat problem

I had to sell off a fully restored and upgraded pair of Dynaco Mkiii monoblocks with KT-88 tubes. I loved those damn amps but the heat was enough to make you crazy!!!!

Eventually --- I bumped the tube gear down to an EL84 type. Life is cool and tubey again. I'm running an integrated Sherwood S-5000 and I no longer have any heat issues. Don't underestimate solid state gear. My NAD throws off more dissipated heat then my tubed Sherwood.
