Gary.......This vintage system would not have been possible if you had not given me your father's MA230. I think about that every time I push the power switch on. This integrated amplifier sounds so sweet since Terry DeWick performed the restoration. I wish you could hear it. You would be pleased.
Don't worry about the amplifier getting hot. I have two SilenX 12 volt fans that are powered by a 6 volt transformer from one of the amp's switched outlets. This reduces the fan speed so they remain silent, but each fan still pulls enough cool air across the 7591 tubes to keep the top of the cabinet's metal vent cool to the touch. There is no issue with heat, not even with the gear stacked as I have it. I appreciate the heads-up about getting fresh air. You can rest assured I have it under control.
I love this MA230 integrated amplifier. I will remain eternally grateful for your generosity of gifting me this vintage McIntosh amplifier. I think your father would be quite pleased to know the MA230 still makes wonderful music.
