I bought an Adcom 5800 amp off Audiogon a while back. It has two fans. One of the fans has never worked since I have owned it. The second is going. Lots of vibration and noise.
The amp sits on an amp stand. Is well ventilated. No problems so far. I used to use it to power the mains, but since the purchase of another amp, it now powers the rears.
I am considering running the amp without fans. Any Adcom owners used their old amps with deactivated fans? I have read about the Pro amps and their owners either changing out fans or reducing the fan speed.
So is running this amp without fans a bad idea? Or should I try to replace them?
