Keeping your Pass Labs Amplifier on all the time


Hello Fellow Audiogoners.

My electric bills are quite high with an average of $150.00
per month in the winter time.
Has anyone tried using your amplifier in the stand-by mode, rather then keeping it turned on all the time?
I own a Pass Labs 350.5 amplifier.

Advice would be appreciated.

I have XA60.5's and leave them on continuously for days, and every so often turn them off over night.

My electric bill went up $20/mo, over turn on one hour before listening.

I do not like to wait an hour before good playback, and they sound better after 2 days on.

I listen 3 to 4 hours every day.

Power transistor failures can occur after too many cold-hot temperature cycles.
