Hello, I'm hoping someone here can shed some light here...

Right now I'm only using my 1050 as a 2-channel preamp; I've got the right and left preamp outs going into monoblock amps. The system is wide open waiting for me to finish a cabinet and sitting on my pool table.

I was playing a few CD's through it and while changing to another realized the unit is cooking! Too hot to leave my hand on more than a couple of seconds.

What's causing all this heat? I'm not even utilizing the internal amp, am I?

Thanks,
Randog
