Electric bill any high
My electric bill has almost doubled since I added streamer and DAC. . How can I reduce consumption?
My Spectral amp and MIT Powerbar are plugged into the wall. My Spectral CD player, Spectral preamp, Aurender Streamer, and Berkeley DAC are plugged into s MIT Powerbar.
My preamp and DAC are always on. As is the Z powerbar. My CD player is on standby. I turn off the amp and streamer.
Is there snythungvi can do or do I just have to pay the Man for this expensive hobby.
I believe you power amp is pure Class A. Unless it has new, advanced technology like Krell iBias it will draw considerable power while in standby and even idle mode. I believe my Krell 300 XD draws like 2 watts in standby. Regardless, I live in Arizona and am installing solar this month as @wyoboy referenced so soon most of my power bills will be a thing of the past. Your other gear (streamers and DACS), draw very little current . |
