Hi everyone this is my first post. I don't know if you're ever up all night but it seems like the electrical companies in my area must move power around at 3 or 4 a.m. which sometimes looks almost like a brown out by the time it gets to my house. I unplug all of my equipment when I'm done listening. If it's disconnected from Power surges and brownouts there is no way they can hurt you. I also have a recording setup which I connect to a few Tripp Lite dual conversion systems that create AC from DC I unplug those When Storms are coming. I'd rather wait for something to warm up then wait to buy a new piece of gear.
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?
