Amps can be “on” continuously, if you choose to do so.
My amps, preamps, source, are unplugged until I’m ready for a jam night, then I plug them in, remove the covers, power up 24 hrs before I sit down with a dram for a nice relaxing music evening.
With our power we have here, I keep unplugged. Have had my Furman on many occasions shut itself down due to over current.
Better safe than sorry. Love my Furman!
It’s up to you, if the amps are plugged into a good strip, go ahead and leave on,...or turn off during the week, and power up for the weekends........
congrats on the new amp!!, heard nice things about it.
We expect a report and review in a few weeks.....
Have heard leaving on is better for the inrush limiter, for the caps, and everything, as it’s stabilized when on all the times. On and off repeatedly have heard is bad for the internal parts, going from charged to uncharged caps every time the amp is turned on.
Then again, also heard it’s bad to leave on, .........
it is up to you. Many people leave their components on 365 days a year With no issues for many years.
with my luck, I baby my components, off and covered until ready for use.
Did leave my old Carvin dcm amps on all the time, they lasted over a year , until one fan went out , then one amp just smoked one evening, while listening, smelled this capacitor burn smell,....sure nuff, other amp just puffed a small cloud, and shut down. Those were fun amps, had 2500W mono pair carvin amps.
Sorry, rambled again.........
