I'd leave it on all the time. This will lessen it's possibility of breaking down.
I know people will say it's not very eco and all that, but is it really going to make any difference in the grand scheme of things? Is turning
your amp off when
you're not using it going to save us all from roasting alive? No!! You pay for the electric - enjoy it while you can
I use a pair of lovely, thirsty Brytson 7B monoblocks which can use in excess of 1000w each - do I feel guilty? Not at all!! Sorry, but an eco friendly budget amp doesn't do it for me.....I'm sorry, but your attitude is simply ********. Do you think that your 'audiophile energy' is treated any different than the stuff the rest of the world uses? Wasted energy is wasted energy. You wouldn't let your vacuum machine run for no reason and you wouldn't have your windows open when you're heating.
Now go feel guilty, because it seems that I'm saving energy wherever I can so you can run your damn Brytsons.
Can you save some for me too as I'm getting a valve amp soon and will need all I can get?
