Leaving my amplifier on ok?

Standby mode is good to use saywhen nolongerlister8ng for the evening 

warm uptime is maybe30 minutes to sound best..

Audiogon forum opinions are like stock market opinions, for every opinion you can find the exact opposite...mine is, for SS, especially if there is a standby mode and slow power up(like Pass X250.8), turn off on front, leaving it in standby...the sound is better when warm, but that doesnt take a terribly long time.....

I read that story too. Yes, it was in Stereophile. Unbelievable, indeed.

I let my Sansui alpha S.S. amplifier "on" all the time...

Why ?

Because i dont like the switch button working at all...It is the only thing i can fault about this amp...

The amp never become very hot anyway with headphones and always ready... I read many people experienced long time working of amplifier which are always "on" and no problems... And i trust soix experience .. 😊

I hate the button way of working with a scintillating light for 20 seconds indicating it is ready...For sure it is a relay protection time and it is good... But i prefer not to touch it... And my amp is always ready...I listen music each day at least 2 hours...

My sound quality , it is ectasy each evening, is so good i did not know if i will not coming back to listening few time after beeing switch "off"... It is very hard to stop listening... Then i prefer it ready...

Anyway i am already 72 years old... If it let me down after my death because of that habit i dont care.. 😊
