Quicker warm up advice for pass labs amp

Make sure that timer is plenty stout!

Just for kicks, I looked up some maybe relevant facts. The optical bias Threshold e Series were designed to typically idle between 45 and 50 degrees centigrade. The Aleph 5 at 55C. And the Pass X Series at 45C. The only mention I found regarding leaving any of the amps on is on page 5 of the X Series operating manual: "It will not hurt the amplifier to be left either in operating or stand-by mode constantly, but it is potentially a waste of energy." Does five or ten degrees in the Aleph make a difference? I doubt it. My money's on reducing the number of thermal cycles. Your mileage may vary :-)

I'm with you Nhorton. In my spare time I moderate two chat rooms. As most of us know, using all caps on the www means you are screaming and is universally considered quite rude. The most popular response cappers give for their behavior is "it's my trademark". The only cure seems to be booting them back into cyberspace where at least they can annoy someone else. In all but extreme cases it works quite well :-)
