Dman,

Because internal audio components are operating at temperatures far above what sunlight could produce, I believe there should be no problem.

In fact, if you live in a humid climate, having the sunlight drive off possible condensation might be a benefit.

Certainly, if the amplifier were in a wood case, there'd be a concern just as one would have with sunlight on grille cloths, speaker finishes, and veneered racks/stands.

By the way, what tubes are you using in your D76?

Cheers,

Bambi B
