My amps are Pass Aleph 2's pure class A, they run way to hot to leave on 24 -7 unfortunately they take a couple of hours minimum to start sounding good. Luckily I only work 5 mins. from home so when I plan on listening I'll turn everything on 2 or 3 hours prior. My sub crossover/amp has been plugged in and on for over 25 years but is probably class D and runs pretty much at room temp, the Aleph's on the other hand I could probably cook dinner with them! LOL.
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?
