I have a Carver 5X100w amplifier hooked to my Rotel Surround pre-amplifier. I turn on and off the Rotel - it does that with the TV remote, but the carver stays on all the time. Every once in a while I'll turn it off, but for the most part it's always on. This thing is over 30 years old and quiet as a mouse. That is my surround system, not what I listen to music on. My stereo is all tube except the streamer and the Schiit Loki Max - which I never turn off.
Leave it on?
I just listened to Paul McGowan explain that turning SS equipment on and off degrades the capacitors from the tiny power surge and that leaving SS equipment on ALL THE TIME is best. What do you do?
