I have a Class D amp in my bedroom that I leave on all the time. It doesn't use much power and I'm too lazy to bend over and turn it on and off. My two integrateds (one Class D, one class A/B with a tubed preamp), and my main system (tubed monoblocks and tubed preamp) all get turned off when not in use.
Does anyone leave their amp and preamp on all the time?
I listen most nights after work. I find that the system takes a while to warm up and sounds it's best if it has been shut off. So I leave it on. I always have and this is vintage stuff. The amp is a 25/25 Bedini class A. It stays warm but never hot. It has never caused an issue but recently I've been speaking with others that were stunned that I would do this. So let me know if I'm the only one that lets it run. Do you shut off the equipment after each session?
