Solid state power amps.; on or off?


Some people keep telling me that solid state gear should be left powered on all the time during day to day listening. They claim that thermal consistency will improve long term life and reliability. Power cost consideration appart, what is your opinion; experience?

Just talk to Classe this morning, and they said the same thing that I asked a month ago which is "everything should be off, and turn on two hours before listening". I'll ask my dealer tomorrow. DT
Elizabeth, your on botton got stuck! Best way to resolve this problem .....
Oh well. Different designs and different philosophies. That's why there are different companies and different types of consumers. Either way, you have to wonder why so many "dedicated regulars" that frequent this place tell you one thing and a "respected manufacturer" tells you something different. Maybe it's a case of someone building a product and then someone else using it and knowing how to ring the best performance out of it in the "real world". After all, we don't "listen" to test bench specs and data..... Trust your ears. I've had amps on for YEARS... Sean
