Question from a Poor Pass owner


I am thrilled (finally) with my Aleph-3.It sounds like a different amp after its been on for a couple days.I want to leave it on 24/7 but since Im a working stiff and could hardly afford this amp to begin with,Im concerned about my electric bills going through the roof.The amp sucks 250 watts at all times.Could anyone make an educated guess what it would cost to keep it on all the time?

Thanks!! I can handle that! I may have to steal from the kids piggy bank,but the amp stays on!!!
I don't know if a heavy duty three prong current is available, buy you might be able to put one of those on your line. Have it come on an hour before you get home ! I'm think of doing that with my Alephs. Pass states that they are relatively uncaring of power quality. I have found that they really sing once they've been on for 2 hours plus. You can also use their flat metal tops an extra-capacity pancake griddle for those crowded family breakfasts.
I told you this already, David. Are you somebody that turns off every light in a room the second you leave, even if you are coming back to that room in a few minutes? My PS 300 uses 500 watts or more all the time, but I'm more concerned about the power the air conditioning, heating, refrigerator/freezers, leafblowers, stoves, ovens, microwaves, computers, and tv's use.....than I am about that PS Audio.
A note for those proud Pass owners using their Aleph amplifiers to cook pancakes: if you don't use a Teflon spatula, you will void the warranty. Thank you for your ongoing support!
