Anyone have a Kill-A-Watt meter?

Deanster, funny you should ask. I feel a regular light bulb consume more energy than my entire system turned on at idle.According to my meter, I'm consuming only 130 watts with my amp, cd player, TV, and sub turned on. Dean, what does your meter say when you have on hz? My reads 59.9. Yes, .1 tolerated. Alfredo

Yes, I also recall seeing 59.9 Hz. I wasn't sure if that was a rounding issue or something that the power company was doing here in So. Cal.

On average when on, my tuner used 9 watts, my HT preamp used 28 watts, my disc player used 15 watts, my vcr used 13 watts, my passive preamp used 5 watts, and my TV used 70 watts. The bigger consumers were my 2 channel amp at 120 watts and my 3 channel amp at 220 watts.

Highend64...The 59.9 Hz frequency measurement is wrong. The power grid system maintains very tight control of frequency and even electrical phase angle, so that different generators can be interconnected, and so that electric clocks and other devices which use synchronous motors run at the correct speed.

Thanks Eldartford for your response. I guess the best result is to use an oscilloscope to see the frequency and waveform.
