Leave solid state amps on? Or turn off everytime?


Hi,

My system consists of the following:

Slimdevices Transporter -> Bel Canto REF1000 Mono block amps -> Anthony Gallo Ref3.1 Speakers

I was wondering, should I be switching the Bel Canto amps on/off every time I listen to music? Or should I just leave them on permanently and only switch the transporter on/off (which i do anyways)?

Thanks

Solid state is too broad a category. My Pass Aleph 30 (class A) at idle used far more juice than my JRDG 102 (Ice Power) will wide open. If your Bel Canto amps are Class D as I suspect they are, there is no reason to even think about this topic. Just leave them on all the time. You can tell a lot by how hot your amps get. If they stay cool, don't shut them down.
