Minimalist NAD mod

I had posted earlier about the WinAmp touch screen. The same person has a cooling mod for a NAD (of for that matter any amp). It's a good idea and doesnt require any opening up of the amp. But I would like to add some points.
  • Use a fan that uses ball bearings rather than sleeve bearing. Found it lasts much longer and is quiet. I have been running 5 inch ball bearing axial fans (240 v AC) for years 24 hrs a day and they dont fail.
  • Secondly why put fan so close to the amp, may in the odd chance (depending on fan quality) induce some interference. Instead put it a bit away and use black ribbed flexi pipe available cheap at any hardware store.
Cooling any electronics is always nice idea :D
