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?

I told you this already, David. Are you somebody that turns off every light in a room the second you leave, even if you are coming back to that room in a few minutes? My PS 300 uses 500 watts or more all the time, but I'm more concerned about the power the air conditioning, heating, refrigerator/freezers, leafblowers, stoves, ovens, microwaves, computers, and tv's use.....than I am about that PS Audio.
A note for those proud Pass owners using their Aleph amplifiers to cook pancakes: if you don't use a Teflon spatula, you will void the warranty. Thank you for your ongoing support!
No Carl.I dont turn my lights ON, Im SO CHEAP!! I thought this was a legit question.I wanted to know if my electric bill would go through the roof is all.Can you send me $20 a month to help out a poor Pass owner?? Come on Carl!! You owe me!!!!
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.
