Do you leave the Jeff Rowland Amp on all the time


I purchased this amp recently an am very impressed with the sound, however it takes a long time to warm up. Do any users leave the amp on all the time. I emailed Rowland but did not get an answer. I am also thinking about replacing my BAT VK-32SE with the Rowland Capri preamp.

NO WAY!!!!!!!!!!!
Donnot leave them on 24/7
That is just the company trying to get you to wear it out for repairs or a new one down the road.I talked to 5 well regaurded techs and they all say the same thing""SHUT EM DOWN"" but thats just my experience.
Marty, what model do you own? As an model 8 owner, I can tell you that this amp was designed to be in 'idle' mode until the front switch is depressed, which takes the amp into full-on mode. The thinking is to have the circuit active at all times in order to minimize warm-up time. Seems to have worked very well. However, i am not sure that the other models in the line work this way.
My goodness. By the time all that other stuff is done, it's on 24/7 anyway!

Hey Geoff.
This is the first time I've had much agreement with one of my energy rants...a good sign.
