Do I NEVER shut it off…?


Gryphon says in the instruction manual to leave the amp on. (Diablo 300) 

It sounds amazing and never shuts down, but gets almost too hot to touch on certain parts of the side heat syncs. 
Really…? Leave it on all the time…?

What do you guys think…?

Thank you…!

I left my 120 on for 4 straight months burning in 3 different streamers (silly me…). It’s hot at the heat sink, but its an amp born from the caverns of the underworld!

Lately I’ve been turning it off (standby - red light on) at night and turning it back on at breakfast.  Warm up shmarm -up,  immediately let the background music wake me up.  Dont have a dedicated space so my amp does double duty in our living room.  I do critical listening at all times, warm up or on all day…too many variables to consider.  

My brain wants to tell me it sounds better after its been on for hours…but of course my fridge, water cooler or aquaponic garden want me to hear them instead…luckily i decided to hold off on a reef tank.
