Are these LG sold out, or held up to ascertain and fix this new problem?

Bumping for fresh looks and more nominations

Just a quick clarification question: does the Master series of amps run cooler than the Phoenix?  I would seriously look at replacing my Phoenix with a Master 8 if it runs cooler.   TY in advance.     Lord Bless, doug p.

Well, after Les talked so highly about his IR thrmometer I finally bought one he recommended off of eBay. Nice little toy with lots of little uses. Here are my temp readings, and under what circumstance I got them: Open window behind rack, fan blowing on audio rack: 65F ambient, PSU and Amp...
