I never thought about arcing and my power and ground connections are really close too. But since current follows the path of least resistance as long as you have good connections I guess you're fine.

The more I think about the more I think something must've landed on your your power terminals Kevin. Doesn't it take a fairly large amount of voltage to overcome the resistance of a significant gap of air?

weird

that it does, but it was probably more related to a crappy connection, those can definitely get hot if your trying to pull alot through them.

well, generally melted things = fried.

Why would there be a screw terminal on such an expensive amp though? They are such a PITA.

You obviously didnt pick up on it the first time...
