Here's a H360 integrated on fire in a shop in Norway.

It had heavy sparks and open flames so it was removed by the firefighters.

Yes the Chinese took some shortcuts when building it.

That was my first thought, blame the Chinese. They probably substituted some counterfeit underrated parts.

That's an obvious knee-jerk reaction, but I've seen plenty of USA and European made electronics go up in flames too.

Wizard, I appreciate your contributions on our forum. But that last sentence is total crap.
 
To be fair, nobody doubted that the Hegel SOUNDS great. The problem was the "heavy sparks and open flames." :D

Really?? I have never seen a piece of audio electronics go up in flames and I have been around this hobby for a long time. It would be great if they did an autopsy and figure out the cause of death.
 
Had the same reaction. In 32 years in the hobby, i have never seen a single unit go up in flames. A tube pop and die, yes, but nothing beyond that.
