Do you leave the Jeff Rowland Amp on all the time

I purchased this amp recently an am very impressed with the sound, however it takes a long time to warm up. Do any users leave the amp on all the time. I emailed Rowland but did not get an answer. I am also thinking about replacing my BAT VK-32SE with the Rowland Capri preamp.

100 Watts when idling? I don't think so. Maybe 1 Watt. Hel-looo!

But 100 watts is only 1/10 of a kW, so the annual total is only roughly $150. (Actually, the cost is closer to $120 annually if you do the math.)

So much for your math.

I want Netflix AND good sound. I have a headphone amp so it looks like I'll be foregoing one six pack of Corona a month.
