How long does a solid state preamp need to warm up for maximum performance? Right now I leave my amp on 24/7 but not my preamp. Wondering if I should leave it on too.
Pass recommends 24 HR warm up on their preamps. They don't even have an off on switch and are designed fir continuous powerup. You mileage may vary but I have always found solid state to be best left on 24/7
I used to leave my preamp on 24/7 unless it was tubed. My amp I left it on for the weekend if I knew I would be listening. I will say I think an amp or preamp needs 24 hrs to warm up and sound its best.
