Do you keep your amps and preamps on all the time


HI, I just wnated to know if it is a good idea to leave the pre amp, amp and CD player in the "on" position 24/7 all the time, even if the amp, feels like you can fry an egg over it already.

Thanks

Sean,
I'd want to add that you've got to make sure that such high-bias amp has plenty enough heatsink area arround transistors. If it's not the case the heat will always accelerate and run to fry not only egg but stake as well.
Some of manufacturers does not realize how to calculate the power dissipated on heat and do not provide enogh of heatsink area.
