ok, now that most seem to agree power supplies can be left on 24/7/365.
if OK, What about a power supply that powers a phono amp with a tube? I would think that should be turned off! If left on, wouldn't that lead to premature failure of the tube?
Should You Leave An External Power Supply On 24-7?
I had always left my Bluesound Node on 24/7. I have recently installed a Teddy Pardo external linear power supply on the Bluesound Node. Is it wise to turn off the power supply every night when I shut the system down, or should it be left on 24/7?
Your thoughts please.
@jetter I am very happy with the Teddy Pardo LPS. I began my streaming journey with just the Node (gen 1) a few years ago. I then added an MHDT Orchid DAC (tube on the output stage) to bypass the Node’s internal DAC (using all Silnote Audio cabling). Then a few months ago I upgraded to the newest Node (moved the old one to my 2 pairs of B&W WM6 outdoor patios setup) and then added the Teddy Pardo about 2 weeks ago. I should add I also have a BAT VK600 with bat pack huge, lots of current, fully balanced solid state amp; BAT VK-6i tube preamp; all feeding into my fully upgraded/restored Apogee Acoustics Duetta Signature full range ribbon speakers. |
