What amps should I audition?
Georgehifi, I am NOT talking about the heatsinks.  Open the box and measure how hot the TRANSFORMER is and MORE IMPORTANTLY, how hot the smoothing CAPACITORS are.  Semiconductors dont die of heat so quickly but CAPACITORS DO (VERY QUICKLY).  Read ... 
What amps should I audition?
