| Leaving tube amps on. ghdprentice Plus 1! Even with solid state, unless the amps have been unplugged for months, they will sound 99% after 15-30 minutes. My preamp and amps are hybrid, where the input stage (where the tubes are) shuts off, but the rest of the unit is ... | |

| Jazz for aficionados I’ve been listening to Michel Petrucciani since @7 this morning and every time I listen to him, I am blown away by his talent! So sad he left us so young. | |
