Audiogon forum opinions are like stock market opinions, for every opinion you can find the exact opposite...mine is, for SS, especially if there is a standby mode and slow power up(like Pass X250.8), turn off on front, leaving it in standby...the sound is better when warm, but that doesnt take a terribly long time.....
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?
