My M-Stage arrived and it's ice cold, should I wait?

Will there be condensation or something similar?  It's ICE cold.  It was probably chilled to 17F when I got it from the mailbox.

Darn North America.

i think most of the electronics has a pretty large tolerance of extreme temperature. but if i were u, i would wait it to get back to room temperature before listening to it though, just in case wink_face.gif

It should be fine. Keep in mind that it's not too unusual for guitar amps to be ice cold because touring musicians play in cold weather too and sometimes their amps are stored in cold enviroments.

my amp feels ice cold every time i go to use it. if it's metal it will always feel cold when sitting off. i wouldn't worry about it.

Loving the M-Stage so far.  My only complaint is that the gain switches on the bottom are actually in backwards to the diagram.  The diagram says switching them "Off" results in 20dB gain and switching them "On" results on 0dB gain.  It's the other way around.

It's at 20dB right now, because I'm using my extremely difficult to drive k702s

 

Actually, I just settled on 10dB with a higher volume setting.  It seemed more reasonable.

I don't mean to thread-jack, but this does seem on-topic, my Audio GD Fun arrived today and would it be alright to place it on my desk where it would be about 2 feet from an old school radiator that gets pretty hot (and at times humid)?

 

Should I try to keep it as far as possible from it?

if it's been sitting outside for a long time, i'd give it a few hours... condensation is not friends with electronics. 

 

but it seems everyone here likes to take risks so go for it, or don't :)
