Mystery solved. I spoke to the people at Parts Connexion, who spoke to one of their techs that was one of the original designers of the Sonic Frontiers pre-amps. He said that there is no "standby" mode on the SFL-1, but that it is recommended to leave it on when not in use, unless it's going to be a lengthy period of time between uses.
Sonic Frontiers preamp in standby mode
Hey guys, I have a question about Sonic Frontiers Line 1 preamp. Should it be left on in stand by mode at all times? If so, what are the benefits if any - cleaner sound maybe? Or is it just recommended to be left in stand by mode to preserve the tubes. I usually shut it off after listening because I don't like to leave the house with electronics left on but the manual states that it should be left on. My other equipment is Sonic Frontiers Power 1 amp, Musical Fidelity A5 CD player, Shunayata line conditioner, and Vandersteen Quattro speakers with high pass filter (amp & pre-amp are on balanced connection). All the tubes are new and fully broken in.
I would appreciate feedback on this question. It seems that sometimes if the system hasn't been on in a few days I don't get optimum sound until after a few hours of play. When fully warmed up this system sounds very nice.
Thank you,
music lover
