Keeping your Pass Labs Amplifier on all the time

I agree, not really any difference between leaving amps on or off, still takes an hour to sound good, I keep my amp completly off, fire it up from cold, i do this to save on capacitor life more than the power bill.

I keep in standby mode until Friday morning then leave on through weekend since I listen a lot on weekends. It does sound better after a couple of hours. I have the xa30.8

I have XA60.5's and leave them on continuously for days, and every so often turn them off over night.

My electric bill went up $20/mo, over turn on one hour before listening.

I do not like to wait an hour before good playback, and they sound better after 2 days on.

I listen 3 to 4 hours every day.

Power transistor failures can occur after too many cold-hot temperature cycles.

I was told by Pass that from standby, my X250.5 takes about 1+ hours to sound it's best, more than a few hours from the fully off position.

I want to thank everyone for taking the time and getting back to me.

To all, have a great Holiday.

Best Regards,

Alan
