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…!

No need to leave amps on all the time, just turn them on for awhile before you are going to listen so they can warm up. How long that is you'll have to find out or take the advice of other owners.

I  have a pair of Class A amps that use up 300 W each when not putting out any sound. Keeping them on all the time would make the electric meter spin like a kid's pinwheel toy and would also turn any room they were into into a sauna in summer.
