Does anyone leave their amp and preamp on all the time?

Well I guess it doesn't matter then. Thanks Wolf!

I used to leave my Marantz integrated and SACD player on all the time. Now that I have the Kinki EX-M1 I turn it off when not in use. It simply gets too warm after several hours which is why they have those massive heat sinks inside and the numerous vent holes above and below.

No worries though as it sounds so much better at a cold start than the Marantz did leaving it on 24/7. Go figure. Optimum sound is reached around the 30 minute mark but I don't really notice an improvement as I'm already way into the music by then.

The SACD player draws so little that I still leave in on 24/7. Now if it's conservation you're after, make sure to turn off that damn cable box as they're power hogs, the likes of which you've never noticed. 

And Wolf is right. We're way past the point of no return and what we're leaving future generations will have them cursing us long after we're gone.

All the best,

Sure looks like the game is over but that still doesn't relive us from making
out an all-out effort .

You got it. NO worries. But Humanity is the worst thing happening to humanity, and since I like the outdoors it seems kinda sad we tossed it out. I got mine...played with Zeppelin, won some surf contests, etc, so I'm fine, and should enjoy the place reorganizing itself and the surf might get better.
