pre-amps should stay on all the time they draw very little power.when it comes to amps though if there is no stand-by the bill at the end of the month can be excessive.leaving my three bryston amps on all day as well as two mark levinson amps cost about 200 can dollars a month.i use the bryston's for home theatre and the levinson's for audio.the bryston's being turned off did not make any difference to the movies.the levinson's have a standby switch which just keeps the amps warm,it sounds great and the electric bill is a lot cheaper.hard to believe but i monitered this over an eight month period.good luck
Should I leave my equipment on ?
All solid state equipment, no tubes...Adcom 535 amp, Parasound pre amp, Cambridge Audio cd....should I leave everything on all the time, or turn off if I wont be using it for awhile ?
Does leaving everything on amount to a lot of energy wasted ?
