[QUOTE="Ivan Beaver, post: 145966, member: 30"] Re: Damping Factor - Actual listening tests? The only display is the front panel LEDs. The ODEP are basically peak lights and temp indicators. They glow brighter when max output is obtained. If they start to dim down, then that means the amp is getting hot and it is reducing the level to help protect itself. Yes the filters do get clogged up, but then again-so do all amps with fans and filters. They are easily cleaned. THe microfin heatsinks are actually quite effective. There is a lot of surface area, and they cool down quickly (due to the small mass) as compared to large heavy heatsinks. Of course they also heat up quicker------- The MA was pretty much the industry "standard" for a couple of decades, and people still swear by them (all but the 3600) [/QUOTE]
