Do you leave the Jeff Rowland Amp on all the time

Practical real world experience with gear trumps the "it's OK and maybe better for your gear to leave it on" opinion. Turn it off, or at least stop finding lame arguments for needless waste and admit you don't give a damn.

What's practical real world experience? Yours? I've got a pair of monos that take literally 3 hours to warm up. I leave them on not because I don't care but because I do. For that matter, up here in the Great White North, we pay you guys to take our electricity from the Bruce Nuclear Facility because it costs too much to power down and then up again. All you have to do is find a way to tap into the main line and you'll be wringing your hands:)

Yeah...mine. 3 hours of warmup sounds like a bad design. My gear sounds fine after a few minutes, better after a while...always has, always will...and then it's off. Waste not want not. Besides, this approach gives me somthing to be self righteous about, and that's priceless.

Well, alright then. They happen to be a pair of LSR&D Leach Superamp monos designed by the late Dr. Marshall Leach of Georgia Tech. The low TIM amp with quite a large following on DIY Audio. But these are original commercially produced models Dr. Leach and a couple of his students endeavored back in the early 80's. The transformers are 1000va EI core monsters. Will drive anything on the planet. Very nice sounding amps with none of the up front edgy brightness complained about by the tube guys. Not many around and rarely come up for sale.

Raquel,
Nice and informative post.Thanks for avoiding the soap box cliches and preaching.
