Never really experienced that (I've seen it mentioned a lot on here though). The only times when I'd get any feeling at all that I'd like to try Senns/I don't like the way SA5k's sound is when I've been listening for a long period of time (3+ hours). At that point my ears are usually worn out anyways, so I don't consider it to be an accurate representation on my sonic tastes.
Here are some pictures of the amp (I'm going to send SFT Audio an email about whether my 3-year warranty is still valid if I open the amp before I take pictures of the guts):

They appear in splotches, so to speak, around the amp. Most of these splotches are on the bottom of the amp. I used the term "burn" because they appear to have a brown-ish look with a purple hue, which I believe is what burnt metal looks like (Though I could definetly be wrong).
