@soix Not to diminish or question your experience. I'm sure Steve McCormack knows a lot. But other manufacturers hold the exact opposite opinion and suggest turning equipment off when not in use. Again, we are talking about on/off once per day and not repeated cycles every hour or two. In the end, this question, like so many, falls into the "you are correct Sir" category. That is to say, whatever opinion is given by an individual, the only appropriate response is "You are correct Sir" 😃
Leave system on or power everything down?
Hi All,
I know this is a frequent topic. But I'm looking for all of your expert advice on this. My HT system consists of:
Krell Foundation 4K - processor
Earthquake Cinenova Grande 5 channel power amp
DENAFRIPS Ares II 12th - DAC
4 SVS SB4000 subs
The wife and I only use our theater room Friday through Sunday. Monday through Thursday we just hang out in our living room.
Since the HT system is off 4 days straight, I have recently started to turn all master power switches to off on the Krell, Earthquake, DENAFRIPS, and all 4 subs. The Earthquake only has the 1 power switch unlike other amps which have a "standby".
What do you think, should I leave everything on or in standby or better to power all off? And if standby is the consensus, what about the Earthquake amp? Leave that on or switch off?
Thank you in advance!
Best Regards,
Brian

@bigtwin Not saying I’m right — just wanted to share the info so the OP can make his own decision. That other manufacturers, who obviously know a helluva lot more than I do, advocate turning stuff off just shows there are likely pluses and minuses both ways. The OP is looking for info so he can make a well-informed decision, and I think it’s great that he’s getting good info on both sides. This is what this forum is all about IMHO. |
@soix You are correct Sir. 🤣 Cheers. |
@bigtwin You are indeed funny Sir! Thanks for the giggle. |
