My Apologies to Miller Carbon


You suggested I leave my solid state components on all the time in spite of the trickle charge when off. Today after almost 2 weeks I heard better more solid lows, more air between the instruments, less hash, etc. Miller Carbon also introduced me to the Schumann Generators (2) which I also find helpful. I have very heavy Vandersteen speakers and am deliberating those suggested springs. Thanks MC

I leave my SS amps on all the time except when I'm away from home for more than a week or so.  I hear a definite difference when the amps are repowered and it takes several days for the amps to get back to peak performance.  

I am leaving on my primary DAC for the same reason.

Tube equipment?  That gets turned off at the end of a listening session.  But most of the time, it only takes a half hour or so for those components to reach peak or near peak performance.

As for editorializing and belittling others, sometimes it better to point out the stupidity of a post and / or the one posting rather than allowing an individual to gain credibility with an otherwise articulate post.  More than once I have caught people commenting about equipment that does not exist or about which they know nothing.
I wonder if that goes for Parasound amps? They are supposed to have the instant warm up circuit. Guess I'm going to need to try. I already turn on about 30 minutes before listening. BTW Chuck I just ordered some Synergistic Research Blue PC.
Although I almost never post here, and do not necessarily agree with his politics, I have always felt that millercarbon was one of the more knowledgable folks on this forum. Although I sometimes argue with my son the engineer up here in Michigan about my expensive audio cables which he believes are a rip-off, I have learned not to dismiss such things because I can hear the difference. Most of my system is tube-based so it is turned off and on, but like in Indiana, I often have to plug and unplug my system because of lightening strikes here in the rural midwest...Next I will try the Schumann generators.
Stringreen,
My hat is off to you... +1

BTW, unplugged the entire system earlier tonight for the first time in about 10 months, due to a thunderstorm warning in the area. Had it off for about 45 minutes & went through withdrawal.
