Can you get your story straight?
Or is this just another convenient hindsight revision?
You should be a TV detective. I'd have already been convicted by now despite the lack of actual evidence lol. Or maybe you just like to argue. Probably the latter.
Yes I said it burned my hand, but I later qualified that with additional information. If anything all I'm guilty about is trying to have a free flowing conversation with someone who's acting like an Internet Sherlock Holmes and trying to play "gotcha" every chance he gets. Clearly if I'd actually BURNT my hand, medical attention would have been necessary, correct? I also don't like going back to edit for precise language, rather I prefer to let the context come out as the conversation continues. For that reason and the fact that it hasn't heated up that hot again I have no desire to go back and edit the OP to suit your liking or even to convince someone else to buy an nc1200 amp in a Ghent case who might have (perhaps rightfully) assumed that I literally burned my hand or that it was hot enough to actually burn flesh.
You're the one with a vested interest here; not me. Actions speak louder than words, and your continued hounding without admitting that other makes are also using insufficient (or insufficiently documented) heat sinking seems to be more important than coming to an accurate conclusion that could help lots of people contemplating purchasing Hypex OEM based amps. I personally couldn't care less if anyone buys VTV products or Ghent cases so I have no reason to make "convenient hindsight revisions" to anything I've said. You keep skipping around the fact that Ghent is the one advertising his case for the exact application that VTV is selling and that from every picture I've ever seen of Nord, Apollon, March Audio, and other DIY projects there is the same amount or less visible heat sinking as VTV/Ghent.
You don't like VTV. No, you HATE VTV, and that's your prerogative but it's blinding you to a larger issue. Anyone reading this thread objectively will see that I've never dismissed your experience or attempted to persuade anyone to buy any product. But you're on a witch hunt against one particular OEM provider while ignoring or being ignorant of the fact that far more people stand to lose money purchasing Ghent cases than would ever buy a VTV product. I mean seriously, what kind of volume do you think VTV is doing compared to Ghent? Think about all the heat failures that could result! Let me know if that doesn't make sense and I'll try to rephrase or make a "convenient hindsight revision" lol.
To anyone else reading, I'm interested in comparing heat dissipation characteristics of different cases with dual nc500 or nc1200 configurations to what I've posted about VTV/Ghent. Just installed a FLIR app and plan to take some pictures later which of course I will post here regardless of the outcome. Also if anyone can recommend a good FLIR app, I'd appreciate it bc none of the ones I found are rated higher than 3.9 stars in the Play Store. Dammit, I have to get a thermal camera first. Thought there might be an app that could do it by way of calculations. More on that later when I've found a suitable one that isn't too expensive.
