2-3 week inspection & PSU temp comparison

[Jean-Marie]

Now really, doesn't ANYONE have a clue why A/D temps parallel S temps so closely in all manner of different scenarios/situations?

Manoel, this is pure reasoning and hypothesis from my part, but having A/D and PSU temp closely correlated make sense to me: the A/D part of the Devialet is by far the most power hungry part of the system, therefore it make sense that the more the A/D needs power which translate by a temp increase of A/D the more the PSU heats up delivering that power.

Basically, and again as an approximation, you can consider that heat is the result of inefficiency of the functions and therefore proportional to amount of power drawn from the A/D.

 my two cents,
