Amplifier operating temperatures...
« on: 13 Jul 2014, 07:34 pm »
It seems every so often, individuals bring up observations/questions with respect to their Bryston amplifier's operational temperature.  As I was applying the last coat of paint to a new CD rack, it came to me out of the blue... er, black.

Why not come up with a few parameters for temperature measurements and post the results here, for example, no signal temperature, signal temperature, left/right heat dissipaters, top of amplifier, etc. Perhaps this could provide an average mean temperature sample and more importantly, the difference in temperature of an amplifier that has just returned from a bias adjustment.

What say you?

Be well...

Hi Laundrew

The problem is that every amplifier is hand tested and the bias is tweaked and adjusted to get the lease amount of distortion so it will vary a little from amp to amp.
