Leave it on?


I just listened to Paul McGowan explain that turning SS equipment on and off degrades the capacitors from the tiny power surge and that leaving SS equipment on ALL THE TIME is best. What do you do?

@invalid ”we shouldn’t even be listening to stereo equipment, it’s not a necessity”

invalid logic, l love it. Let’s not do anything ever again and go back to living in a cave. All sorted

@gano invalid has got something there….. Wait a minute, l take it back. He said “if global warming was so dire” ??
 

It is dire.

l am still optimistic (just) in believing that this often quoted solution is still viable….. “Necessity is the mother of invention”

@hilde45 “It works in many places not stuck in binary ruts”  l agree with your last post as it applies so well with the quote above.

It works is not the same as it works well. Do any of you read? Or do you just read "approved" texts? 

@mylogic I suppose you believe that oil is bad, but you would not have an audio system without it, even if you use solar power.

Invalid question above

Oil is okay with no other choices.

Coal was okay before oil (dirtier and less efficient than oil)

Wood burning fires since the dawn of man and out of necessity were okay (new wood burning fires installed in the home by choice today, not such a good idea)

Going forward it is a question of using less carbon fuels, and everyone is capable of contributing to a solution.

Choices that can be made today.
