Question from a Poor Pass owner

I am thrilled (finally) with my Aleph-3.It sounds like a different amp after its been on for a couple days.I want to leave it on 24/7 but since Im a working stiff and could hardly afford this amp to begin with,Im concerned about my electric bills going through the roof.The amp sucks 250 watts at all times.Could anyone make an educated guess what it would cost to keep it on all the time?

Thanks Peter, and thank for the great accessory recommendation. I am now the proud owner of a Pass Labs Aleph S single ended Reference Spatula, for the discerning hotcake flipper ($499 - a demo). Seriously though, the pancakes do add a little extra dampening + leave a pleasing residual hue. Uncle Buck's flapjack mix works fine, but you HAVE to use special Cardas Golden Chicken Eggs.

I don't know if a heavy duty three prong current is available, buy you might be able to put one of those on your line. Have it come on an hour before you get home ! I'm think of doing that with my Alephs. Pass states that they are relatively uncaring of power quality. I have found that they really sing once they've been on for 2 hours plus. You can also use their flat metal tops an extra-capacity pancake griddle for those crowded family breakfasts.
