Nope....if I owned a SS amp I would not be asking the question. However, since I own a tube amp and I am somewhat concerrned about burning through tubes it makes me wonder. If I am gone 1-4 hours a day that could end up being roughly an additional 10-25 hours of wear on the tubes per week. As of now I don't shut the amp off in between listening during the day.
Not another "Should I leave my amp on question???"
Warning....could be the dumb question of the week.....I own an Audio Research VT-50 (tube) amplifier and I would like to know if I should power the amp down when I am going to leave the house for a short period of time (lets say 1-2 hours) with the anticipation of listening to music when I arrive back home.
