Amp — Leave on or turn off

To your point, is there a real chance an amp could lead to a claim?  It's extremely remote.

@bigtwin  So, in your 20 years in the insurance biz did you ever see a claim based on audio equipment being left on?  How about a refrigerator?  That’s always on, so how many claims did you see from a fridge causing a problem?  The likelihood of an amp causing an issue from being left on is so small it’s downright laughable, and those yelling fire on this are just feckless alarmists IMHO.  I take your point about insurance companies being stingy about paying claims — I had that happen once and am still pissed about it.

Being environmentally responsible is out of favour. So leave it on all the time if you don't care about the planet like most everyone else.

@ emergingsoul, I care about the planet, and your comment is nothing but nonsense, and personal attack on the folks on this thread. Go away, please!

+1 @charliee  Few of his posts make any sense, and he’s nothing if not consistent which is why I no longer read any of his inane threads. My amp runs at 80 Watts at idle, which doesn’t kill the environment. All my lawn care equipment runs on batteries and all my vehicles are ULEV so pretty sure my environmental footprint is smaller than most even with leaving my amp on.

The Linear Tube Audio MicroZOTL preamp has a standby mode and is powered 24/7. LTA said it’s fine to leave it fully powered up (on) 24/7 due to the low voltage to the tubes in their circuitry
