When we think we are turning off our Hegel’s we are actually turning them to standby and that keeps the Caps charged up. It’s also the reason we don’t have to wait but a few minutes to hear the best sound from our rigs.
Now something I tried to get an answer from Hegel is, how many watts of Class A does the H390 put out before the class B kicks in. I never got a straight answer.
Leaving my amplifier on ok?
Would it be ok to leave my amplifier on all the time if I want to extend the reliability of the amp? Many amplifiers ar Class A, high current bias and tubes might be a problem if energy consumption is a factor. Not to mention Excessive heat from bias operation. Is it possible to extend the life of the amp with leaving it on all the time?
