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 X-600 monoblocks (4 of them). I left them on 24/7 the first month that I owned them. I got my electric bill and I nearly had a heart attack. The elctric bill went through the roof. The amps are now always off until I am ready to use them. The cost is just too prohibitive to leave them on all the time. I don't notice any real difference in warm up time...I'm not listening for it. The system always sounds good to me.
