Hi, I have a parasound hca-1500 and it appears the left side of the amp gets hotter than the right... Is this due to a shift in the bias current and am I going to fry something if I keep it running like this.

    If the amp is laid out symmetrically, then the answer is yes and you should get it fixed.
