RE: As a general rule, do tube amps run hotter with the cage...

Posted by Chuck Y on May 22, 2017 at 08:42:28:
I'm sure a lot of cages or ventilated tops could cause some increased heat if the unit is left on for a long time or if the unit is not in a open space where air flow is not impeded. However I doubt that the air flow in the Dialogue series is any difference on or off no matter where the amp is located. What you do get though is tube protection from 'accidents'. I leave mine on all the time, with other amps not so much.
