Can you leave class D amps on and not ever turn them off?

I hope when their switching power supplies blow they won't destroy the speakers, but I suppose that is why they are protected by a fuse.

Grannyring, give it a try. Afterwards of course you will still have to wait for it to reach its optimum operating temperature for best sound but it will provide better overall sonics for a while. Let us know later if this made a difference.

George,

You mention NuForce 8 monoblocks as having gone up in smoke.
Would you suspect the Nuforce 9's as having  the same problem?

Many use the same generic SMP boards from the same manufacturer just different rail volts, so it wouldn't surprise me if they were similar.
See this post of a Nuforce 9se v3 I posted in Stereophile and what it did to a reviewers pair of Wilson Watt Puppy 8's, this wasn't a powersupply issue just the nasty noises the 9se made.

Thank you for your reply, George.
I own the original Nuforce 9's and have kept switching them on and off for years.
i guess I'll continue to do so, even though, for a brief period, I left them on and didn't have the annoyance of waiting for them to warm up.

Oh well.....
