RE: REVIEW: Jeff Rowland Continuum 500 Amplifier (SS)

Here's another follow-up. The top of my C500 is hot to the touch. You can hold your hand on it, but it gets uncomfortable after a few seconds. When we visited his shop in Colorado Springs (see url below) I guessed that the temp was 130-degrees and asked Jeff if this was an issue. He said it's not where close to a problem. He said that the C500 runs hotter than the C250, because the PFC units in the 500 generate some heat.

Today I actually measured the warmth at 120-degrees with the armoire door closed.

Lots of ICEpower units are cool to the touch and I've heard stories of one or two Continuum 500 owners being concerned about the heat, so I wanted to discuss this issue here.
