how much electricity do amps consume when left on to keep warm?

my arcam 9 and 9p amps are rated at 550VA max.

I turn all of my off (apart from class A sugden), save the world people. 10 mins warm up before serious listening should be more than enough imo :)

I keep mine on all the time. Afterall it is a lifestyle system ( Linn Classik)

Sound better each day for some reason - probably psychological.

Warming is not so important in case of solid state amps. Even from a purist's point of view, I do not see which components in a Solid State amp would need 'warming'. Capacitors? Given the speed of flow of electrons it would take a few nano seconds for these components to 'warm-up'.

Power conditioning is more important.

If any component in the system needs warming, it has to be mechanical/electromechanical parts. Speakers! That's why there is a run-in period.
