I stream 24/7. Do you?
I find long playlists on Tidal, set them on repeat, and stream 24/7 as background music (my office is right next, and kind of open, to my listening room). My system is solid-state, so I never turn it off anyways. Anyone else stream 24/7?
@nrenter My system is solid-state, so I never turn it off anyways. Other than increasing your electric bill, heating your room and shortening the life of your equipment, why would you leave the system powered up 24/7? Does the manufacturer of your amp(s) specifically call for always on? Just wondering the reason. Cheers. |
@nrenter My big SS mono blocks and preamp are Hegel. I have posed this question to Hegel. They're take is the equipment has soft start circuitry, that SS equipment requires only few minutes to warm up and constant power just shortens the lifespan. I can't see any reason they are giving me bad advice. In the end, whatever makes us happy. Cheers. |
