Anyone leave their Solid State amplifier on all the time ?
Only when I forget. :)
Preamp(s) and phonostage left on 24/7.
Power amps switched on when needed and off when finished (unless I forget, and they are left on overnight :doh:).
Sources switched on when needed (CD player is left in standby mode).
NO all off
All off.
I turn the active speakers to standby, so in terms of the power amps they are turned off. The father of a friend of mine used to leave his amp all the time and did so for many years. I repaired it for him once and the issue was just some of the smaller transistors had started to fail. There was brown heat marks on the pcb around them. When I mentioned it to my friend he said the amp was on for around 12 years.
All off nowadays. Save a fortune on leccy. :lol:
