100W build running pretty hot

Post by benoit »

My build is up and running, and sounds nice, but the heat it's putting out is such that the standby switch is pretty warm to the touch when I go to power down. Is this something to worry about? I realize in a tubes down hundred watter some heat is inevitable but I don't want to put undue stress on the amp.
