Leave an amp "on" permanetly

I have a geology degree so I'm very familiar with the irreparable harm that we are doing to our planet. People who don't take such things into consideration are completely insensitive to the plight of future generations.

Geojap dont you think that the Al Gore paranoia has gone just a little to far? Irreparable harm and damage to our planet, sounds like many of the predection books I come across at the library dating back two decades ago that were all quite off the mark.

Maybe this thread should be moved to "Earthbegon"?

I have a Audio Resaerch D-150.2 solidstate amp which I leave on all the time(24/7) I do this because this amp is a class T digital design which runs extremely cool all the time and because of this its performance is greatly affected when not left on. It takes at least 4-8 hrs. to warm backup(after shut off) to get to 90% acceptable performance level.
Everyone who has reviewed this amp recommends that it be left on all the time for optimal performance.
I've never had any problems with leaving it on and as for as power surges and thunderstorms, I have a Monster Hts 2000 surge protector/conditioner that has worked very well protecting my system during storms and power outages( which we have quite a bit where I live)

i have a pair of tube amps and contrary to popular opinion, i don't notice a difference between 10 minutes and 100 minutes, as to sound quality. keep in mind, while you are waiting for the amp, preamp and cd player to warm up, there may be changes in consumption of electricity by your neighbors, which will affect the sound of a stereo system.

intelligent use of energy is an indication of maturity.

David12 amen to you and many more. I am so sick and tired of the left and their communist friends around the world. Dictators with Zwiss bank accounts that have murdered and tortured with impunity while doing it for a means to better social justice. Now we get the green moment with all their junk science predections that in less than twenty years will be ho hummed while another group will start their social cause for the better of man kind.
