Lyngdorf 2170 on 24/7. Best sound by a wide margin. Takes several hours to sound its best after turn on...I just keep it on. Less stressful on internal parts than on/off cycles. It is a digital powered dac and runs very cool consuming only 22 watts or so.
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?
