Electric Bill

Timely thread. For the past week I've been letting my
system play throughout the day at above-moderate volume
while I've been at work (long workdays since my children are
away on vacation), breaking in a pair of new speakers. This
thread prompted me to compute the expected damage to my own
electric bill.

Assuming the worst, my expected increase is less than
$20/week, due to my particular medium-power, Class AB, SS
stereo amp--not too bad!

I'll keep this thread in mind in case I ever start thinking
about purchasing a pair of high-power, Class A, tube-based
mono amps!

I would think that every dime we save on stuff like electricity we can send on equipment or software.
I really like to spend money but I dislike wasting even more. Unless of course you are in the 1% bracket.

All I know, is compared to similar homes in my area, my bill is way higher. For me it's part of the price of being an audiophiile and lover of music. Maybe $100 per month.
