Leave it on?

I know it's socially acceptable to not really care about the planet anymore, but you should turn it off.

We all know that coal is now the cleanest Energy producer that's available, but still good idea to turn off your equipment.  Most ss equipment is durable enough to last a lifetime.  

Naim recommends leaving their equipment on 24/7, primarily because it allows the system to maintain a consistent operating temperature, which is believed to improve sound quality and stability over time. Leaving it on also avoided the potential stress on components from powering up and down. While some may be concerned about energy consumption, Naim suggests that the environmental impact is minimal compared to the benefits.

@nutty “Naim recommends …. 24/7”

Nothing against Naim (their sales slogan, “You are nothing without a Naim” was however pure nonsense) but manufacturers will swing or exploit anything to sell their products. Market perception is easily tweaked.

Yes, one amplifier left on will only have a minute minimal effect on the environment. However, if we all multiply that “effect” exponentially with trillions of products on standby then the “effect” becomes huge. For Naim to say this is not a good sales pitch. Maybe they could be honest and put in a disclaimer and say, “With so many Naims burning natural resources unnecessarily, we could add to and end up with no one having any names”

We are all by our individual choice’s either become a problem, or a solution.

l leave you with two very important and getting closer words…. “Tipping Point”

The title of a 1970s Moody Blues album springs to mind, “A Question of Balance”

I'm turning off at night and turning on in the morning...
