My Apologies to Miller Carbon

Here is the thing when MC sticks to audio he makes some good contributions. However his editorializing and belittling of others obscures that fact. Lets all try to act better around this place and help others.

With my Coda CSIB it has a semi stand by but still has 15-20watts 
for it keeps the circuit  partially warm ,including the capacitor
and transformer and circuit charged  .it actually extends the life of the unit ,for it is gentle this way when engaged it is gentle to the circuit..if off or in a true stand by it has a small surge then recharge the whole circuit ,which is a small surge ,The only time I suggest totally turning a SS amp off ,if  not using for a few days ,or a Pure Class A Amplifier for the circuit is operating constant current ,without the transistors cycling on off , and a lot of wasted energy 
but sonically lower distortion , referring to class A-AB. Not class D .I am sure not totally accurate description ,but  in the ball park.

I leave my SS amps on all the time except when I'm away from home for more than a week or so.  I hear a definite difference when the amps are repowered and it takes several days for the amps to get back to peak performance.  

I am leaving on my primary DAC for the same reason.

Tube equipment?  That gets turned off at the end of a listening session.  But most of the time, it only takes a half hour or so for those components to reach peak or near peak performance.

As for editorializing and belittling others, sometimes it better to point out the stupidity of a post and / or the one posting rather than allowing an individual to gain credibility with an otherwise articulate post.  More than once I have caught people commenting about equipment that does not exist or about which they know nothing.

I wonder if that goes for Parasound amps? They are supposed to have the instant warm up circuit. Guess I'm going to need to try. I already turn on about 30 minutes before listening. BTW Chuck I just ordered some Synergistic Research Blue PC.

Although I almost never post here, and do not necessarily agree with his politics, I have always felt that millercarbon was one of the more knowledgable folks on this forum. Although I sometimes argue with my son the engineer up here in Michigan about my expensive audio cables which he believes are a rip-off, I have learned not to dismiss such things because I can hear the difference. Most of my system is tube-based so it is turned off and on, but like in Indiana, I often have to plug and unplug my system because of lightening strikes here in the rural midwest...Next I will try the Schumann generators.
