Do you always keep the Amplifier powered on

Very good post Almarg, I enjoy good explaination's.

by all means...had i3 and i5.3...on all the time...sims are build to last.

I run my Parasounds 2003mod/5250v2 & Pioneer 74-txvi 24-7.
They defiantly sound better, oppose to turning them off.

Based upon the recommendation I got from McCormack, I would leave my DNA-1 Deluxe turned on 24/7. They claim it definitely sounds better that way.

But, I now am using a Krell FPB 400cx, and, because it gets so dang hot I just can't make myself leave it on all the time. I guess I just have fears that anything that gets that hot may be a fire hazard. And it does seem to sound better after a couple hours.

Well , it may depend on where you live .
I live in the lightening capital of the country !
I have , so far , lost a microwave oven , television and a heat pump compressor to lightening strikes !

Good luck .
