I have a 10 yr old Devialet 250 (see signature for set up). I leave it on all the time as I find it sounds better that way than having it off or in stand by.
It's usually warm to the touch, but the past month or so it's very hot all the time (probably about 60C as it's uncomfortable to leave a hand on it).
previously it would get hot like this when listening loud to music for a while but not when just switched on....
Any ideas? A bit concerning. Sound seems OK.

Hi Brendan,
I too leave my 440-Pro Always ON and toggling thru the display, the Class-A & Class-D amps are about 33C whilst the Power Supply is around 36C. It warms up a bit more by 2-3C during usage and I run my amps pretty hard @ -12dB to -8dB on the volume display. But never warmer than 42C for either A, D pr PSU.
There's definitely a problem that has developed with your 250 but before we arrive at any conclusion, and as Daniel also mentioned, it would be good to get inputs from you by toggling the display to get the readings of
- Class A amp temp
- Class D amp temp
- Power Supply temp
Also, what would be the ambient temp in your room ?
