Thanks Drew, I do not think this is a "problem" though, as I have stated in reply to another, that if I thought it was I would contact Marv. I was just curious as to the how, I was under the impression this unit was off and not stand by, it appears that my assumption was wrong; this does not bother me in any way.
Also, I know nothing of the inner workings of these r audio in general, but I don't see where it would be any different using balanced IC's, either it's sending a signal or not. Try cranking it up sometime. I have owned mine for over a year and have never noticed it until the other day.
The difference with a tuner vs. CD (etc.) is that a signal is always there, in the air that is and if it's in standby mode, it appears it's still pulling it in.
