How many monthly kilowatt hours, including hi-fi, do you use?

I’m proud to say my monthly kilowatt usage is approximately 400 kWh and rises to 450 or so in the summer with air conditioning. Each night use about 4 kwh for my audio gear which includes 30 tubes mostly in amplifiers. Yes this is the worst of my sins using a tube amplifier.

Curious if you know how much you use and if so how much is it?

I’m a big proponent of conserving electricity to help out the planet.

Using electricity isn't a sin.

Large two-story in hot desert climate plus big pool --> 2,266 KWH last month (1759 KWH off-peak + 507 on-peak)

That's a lot of electricity. I would guess a lot of it relates to the pool.

I saw your audio space and my gosh there's a lot going on here. And I bet it's really really quiet in the desert to appreciate everything.

I see you also like cats.  

So I'm gonna spend some time carefully reviewing all that you've done with your system and looking forward to learning a lot. 

Thanks for sharing

Come on soul, you’re not “hurting the planet” using electricity, and please don’t call it a sin. If it’s keeping you up at night get solar panels for your home.

It doesn't matter what kind of energy you are using in reality. It all comes to just bucks to spend whether it's solar panels or company provided electrical power.
