Can you leave class D amps on and not ever turn them off?
I always leave it on unless I am out of town for a week. At least with my amp there is a night and day difference. One hour did not do it. I have had the same experience with other SS amps. + 1

Actually, if you are looking at the HW-19 here on Audiogon, that Audioquest PT9 arm is the same arm as the Jelco, so you needn’t change out that arm. Excellent arm by the way!However that table is a HW-19 JUNIOR so it doesn’t have the same top pla...

If you can find a predrilled VPI HW-19 arm-board for a Jelco, Audioquest, Profile, it's pretty easy to swap out.  If you find a blank arm-board you kinda need to know/understand how to drill and mount an arm.
