Not trying to recreate another VTV build quality bashing thread but i noticed something after forgetting to turn off my amps after using them. I went back the next day and noticed they were hot to the touch (114 F) after being powered on for ~12 hours. Normally i turn them off after use so i was surprised to find them running this hot. My previous icepower PSAudio Stellar would be cool to the touch (and why i was ok to leave them on) and only get this hot after running them for a lengthy period at 50-75% of max (i know they are a different module). I tried reading the nc1200 spec sheet but couldn't find one for idle temp. Additionally, I am not sure it's the module or power supply that is causing the heat (or some other component possibly).
Firstly is this something I should be concerned with if my normal usage pattern is to turn them off after i am done using? Clearly heat is your enemy and will reduce life of all internal components. Do other owners (non VTV brand) amps exhibit this behavior?
Based upon the questionable build quality of VTV amps, could this be, at least partially, due to this factor and something i can address with him?
Was planning on just using until purifi comes out with a higher power module and just replace then. Just now not sure they will last long.
Input anyone?
