What does the manual/manufacturer suggest or warn against or not. It's a yes and no answer. My Cary Rocket 88R does not need to see a load and will not damage the amp by design. Others will require a load to be safely used and not damage the output trannies. Never follow the advice of anyone other than the manufacturer of YOUR product .
is it ok to leave a tube amp on without speakers connected
I'm blessed to have two amps but one set of speakers in my listing room - all tubes. Instead of cutting off one to listen to the other, I would like to listen to the other without powering off the one i'm not listening to.
Question: Can tube amps be powered on without speakers connected for hours at a time?
