Note to self: heatsinks get hot

Heat Sink Burn

I finally got my 12 watt amplifier working and I found out the hard way, by burning a nice impression of the top of a heatsink into my finger. I found one track I had not cut, made that cut, powered up the amp and discovered that what was previously cold was suddenly and very painfully burning.

Anyway, at least it works now, I can build the other channel, build an enclosure for it and get started on the next project. It sounded pretty good by the way.

    I’ve copied that image of your fingerprint for future use in criminal activities (the conducting of). Handy, thanks! :)
