Electric bill any high

My electric bill has almost doubled since I added streamer and DAC. . How can I reduce consumption?

My Spectral amp and MIT Powerbar are plugged into the wall. My Spectral CD player, Spectral preamp, Aurender Streamer, and Berkeley DAC are plugged into s MIT Powerbar.

My preamp and DAC are always on. As is the Z powerbar. My CD player is on standby. I turn off the amp and streamer.

Is there snythungvi can do or do I just have to pay the Man for this expensive hobby.

Check to make sure your fridge is closing correctly or that your freezer isn't slightly open.

Agreed with others. No chance, it is the streamer or DAC.

check your $rate KWH maybe it’s went up. Do you have a commercial refrigerator? If you have regular home appliance, the bill shouldn't be affected by just fridge.

It’s good practice to vacuum the coils once every year or two anyway.  Many found at the front bottom of the fridge behind a snap on grill.  The fan pulls air through them.
