Boot time is no issue with my Kronos just the extra weight of my fancy ups surge protecting sine wave creating voltage regulator

I'm having the fan replaced with a 'silent' one. If it works, I'll keep it if not, another cheap one on the 2nd hand market.
The fan noise is the only thing I can't live with.
that's crazy (not unbelievable though...)
but I've never once heard the fan from my Kronos... unless I turned off EVERYTHING and listened closely for it.
When there is no music played there is no sound, except…. That's the time I go through the edits etc. I don't use a computer to record with and sometimes the Kronos is the only thing on which is fed through an actual stereo system bought in the 1970s.
May I ask what else you have turned on besides the Kronos when you're in your sound space/studio?
Anyway, my date with destiny is tomorrow. Wish me luck.
