Torus RM20 Idle Power Consumption

As the RM20 is just a transformer and filter it will consume next to no power itself on idle (all its running is the light in the power switch). You Ayre amps will have a stand by power draw, but not knowing which model you have I can’t look it up for you, should be 20W or less I’d imagine

When a power product claims no current limitation it means, among other things, the unit itself presents no load in series or parallel with the wall outlet and amplifier. In addition to what folkfreak said, the unit will not even consume power of any significance at full load amp draw.

The easiest way to get a feel is: how warm does it get?
The power wasted is pretty much all in heat.
So if the unit is at room temperature when turned on but not powering other equipment. Then it uses basically very little power.
If it is warmer than room temp. it uses some power.
If it is hot, then it is a total energy hog.
I would thing Google or manufacturer sites should be able to get you the idle wattage. as a statistic.
For both the Torus and your amps.

I know my amp idles at 170watts. I leave it on 24/7/365
The next generation of my amp idles at 80 watts. they reduced the bias due to efficiency regulations.

I have  the torus 20 for 5 years and have never shut it off. Works perfect.
