Have you experienced that otherwise functioning old amplifiers and or receives can emit a special smell? I can't put my finger, or nose, on exactly describe that type of smell. Kind of smelling warm old electronics.It sort of smells of its age and I know vaguely described.It's not a smell that directly annoys me, but I'm mostly curious about what it is that creates that smell? Smell when the stuff is turned on, that is.
I always check that no dust has collected, for safety reasons, fire risk so it can't create the smell. Are old warm transformers causing the smell?
In addition, I have experienced different smells and even the level of the strength of the smell differs between manufacturers and models. That in itself may depend on how much used, old and worn the stuff is and not so much depending on the manufacturer, model, or?
