I notice that my amp sounds better after I eat a croissant.
Coincidence?
Hard to say. ;-)
Amp — Leave on or turn off
I always turned my Benchmark AHB2 amp off after use every night. After all, why is there an on off switch on the front panel if not to do that? Last night I accidentally left it on. This morning, when I played my first record, I couldn’t believe my ears. The same record I played last night sounded infinitely better. I tried a second record and that, too, was much better.
I know there’s a debate on the question of leaving an amp on all the time.
I now know where I stand!
@rvpiano Would you leave your car running when you're not using it? Wouldn't really hurt it but would be illogical. The same applies to your amp IMHO. Everything has a natural lifespan and heat is no friend to electronics. Unless someone can show me how an amp benefits by being left on, I follow the manufacturer's advice and turn it off. But not everyone agrees. Cheers. |
