Hi,

I?ve been using my KPA100 for a while and suddenly had a strange smell in my nose - like something being very hot from too many amperes. I opened the unit, could not find anything burnt or molten but found resistors R38/R39 in the final stage hot. I still could touch them without burning my fingers but they were the hottest components I could identify.

Has anybody an idea, how hot these R?s may go or whether they may heat up at all?
