I know one audio engineer who died of a smoke intoxication, by less smoke from a car radio's cable. He thought that the little bit of smoke was harmless and go to late to the hospital. Perhaps we all just had good luck. Just because of a little bit smoke, I never went to a hospital. I never ever would mount my ADA to a rack. Yes, outside it's cold, but unfortunately it's also moist and (no joke) fine dust from the street already is an issue inside my flat. So it's not off-topic, the ADA can get very hot and we should be careful, turn it off, when we leave the room to take a rest. _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
